Going to try LSH2015 when my new PC arrives

[K-61]

New system finally arrived, then I had to let it sit in the box for most of a week due to work commitments. Anyhow, finally have it set up and configured with my productivity, security software and such. Having technical difficulties setting up my email. All of my server settings are correct and I had an ISP tech do a remote assistance session, so everything is good on their end. Now waiting to hear from Outlook support. Not holding my breath; I find these big companies ignore you as the peasant you are to them.

Next step is installing SH3 and a supermod or two, or three! Will keep you posted.

Today I have set aside a block of time for installing and configuring the game. I had a very discouraging start; got the game installed under W10 but could not get it to run no matter what I did. Installed it on a folder in C:\Games\SHIII and running as admin under W7 compatibility mode. No-disc installed but would not run.

Then I figured it out: I was only copying over the SH3.exe alone, not the other .dll files in the no-disc folder. Once I corrected that, she loads and runs fine. takes less than ten seconds to load a naval academy exercise. SSD sure makes the loading faster.

Next steps: Make an archive copy of the game "as is" in "vanilla" state, patched to 1.4b, then get to installing a supermod, tweaking and then run through the academy so as to get my sea legs under me again.

Just completed my first career patrol in LSH201, with all of the HSIE settings turned on except those for NYGM and GWX. All effects seem to be working fine. I wrecked a diesel when running at high speed under time compression.

Sank four ships for a total tonnage of about 20.7 K tons. Got the IK2 upon return to base. Getting ready for second war patrol but stopping here first to make observations.

Special effects looks sweet; I have the most graphics intense options enabled and green water mod. Nice big explosions and smoke so thick my eyes water just looking at my monitor. Noticed a variety of sinkings, not just the usual snap in two thing. Got jumped several times by flugzeugen, once very close but I got away. Then scraped my hull as I came through the sluice at WS. The gate closed on my tail as I was entering. Got a ticking off from Doenitz just before he gave me the IK2, so all is good.

Now, I must find myself some records for the gramophone. LSH seems to have a bare records cabinet.

What Hsie settings are "for NYGM and GWX ?"

[K-61]

The one for NYGM is called "Crash Dive" to fix the routine related to the "C" command for crash dive. The other one is called "Night Vision" and fixes a bug related to vision distance at night in GWX. If playing LSH the player should not enable either of these, and if playing one of those, then should enable the one appropriate to that mod, and I would assume not enable the ones for LSH.

[K-61]

I went through my archives and found a ton of gramophone records and copied a pile of them into the "sounds" folder.

Does anyone know if you can display victory pennants on your sub when returning to port? I also saw somewhere somebody had crew mustered on deck. Is this possible in LSH2015 or must it be added via mods?

I know Anvart and Aces have made mods that do both.

Find them here: https://www.mediafire.com/?2h49jnyva7ncx

Anvar1061 has a nice mod too. https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=241365

Ah. Never messed with LSH (old laptop) but I figured those two fixes were for every mod and/or stock.

I guess LSH already incorporates them ?
