He's probably talking about the "mine maps" and "air coverage maps".You can find this on the map screen (lol) accesed by pressing F5 in the top-left corner of the screen.You can drag them where you can see them.If he's not talking about those,i'M also interested

Here's another dumb question. Is there any way to find longitude and lattitude in this sim like there was in the original Silent Hunter? I keep getting radio transmitions about differant long and lat's but I can find no tool to bring them up on the map?
No big deal; just wondering?

I Love this SIM!

Default Who is the Man!

I just had my stock SH3 quit and gave me a window error while when the loading scroll bar gets about half-way across. Ubisoft got me out of that mess once, but I made a stupid mistake and exited my nvidia graphics (don't ask me why 'cause I don't know) and I tried to run SH3 and I got the crash (mentioned above) again. Well I followed Ubisoft's instructions again, but to no vail. I have saved my career, however I am in halfway through an important mission.

So, my question is, how can I find out what mods are in GW, 'cause for my vanilla SH3 with 1.4 I have about 14 mods loaded and I find out from Ubisoft that I have to do a complete fresh install I would like some questions,
1) will I be able to load my career (including the important unfinished one) back into SH3 once is reinstalled?
2) Will GW (if I go that route) work with SH3 CMDR and SH3 GEN?
3) is there a person I can PM about GW to see if GW contains the mods I would have to reinstall after I do a fresh install of SH3? 'cause I would have to reinstall all the mods I am now using.

I'm sorta not sure what to do, stay with the stock SH3 upgraded and modded using SH3 CMDR and SH3 Gen or do something else after I get the fresh install along with its upgrade 1.4

Both work fine for me. The GW readme on their sit has a full list of the mods included.

I recently unloaded all my mods, did a fresh install to patch 1.4 and installed GW, SH3 CMDR and SH3 GEN. Far far better than the list of mods I'd put together previously due to the integration.

Robert,

1) GW 1.1a requires a clean installation (patched with 1.4b), and that includes the deletion of the My documents / Sh3 folder. That doesn´t mean that you´ll lose your career. Back up your career and paste it to the newly created My documents / Sh3 folder. If your last save is in a port, you probably won´t have any problems.
2) GW works fine with SH3 Cdr and SH3 Gen.
3) Check on the GW website about the included mods in GW. Click on my sig and you´ll be diverted there. Also please list all your mods. Some of them might work with GW, although not included there.

Von

I hate installs of SH3 cause its a pain. What i do is when ive got my game to how i like it i then burn a backup by copy the SH3 folder from my drive to dvd including the SH3 in My documents and *importantly* the rego file of SH3 - found in Start-Run type "regedit" under ubisoft i export the Silent Hunter III folder to the desktop for copying.

Copy all of these to dvd. Now if ever i have to re-install SH3 i just copy these folders back to my PC & making sure i double click on the registry file to enable Ubisoft/SH3 into windows registry.

Game install with all my mods and 1.4 already installed. No hassles.

I do not understand what you mean by "the rego file of SH3 - found in Start-Run type 'regedit' under ubisoft I export the Silent Hunter folder to the desktop for copy." Are you telling me to run regedit, and if I do, what do I search for to export...

'cause if I look for Ubisoft or silent hunter III in the registry there are several entries...????

Yep Run Regedit, then look for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and click on the + sign and then the + sign for SOFTWARE.
Go down to Ubisoft folder usually near the bottom. In my ubisoft folder their are 3 folders 2 of them are from other Ubisoft games the third folder says Silent Hunter III, this is the folder you want to export to the desktop to copy to dvd later. So in yours do the same if you have more than one entry look for the "Silent Hunter III" folder and export that. If you have many Silent hunter III entries? which you shouldn't but if so then just export the whole Ubisoft folder to desktop.

Gotcha. only 1 Silent Hunter III Folder exported to desktop. Does it have to be a DVD CD that I copy this stuff to or can it be a regular CDR? Thanks
