Gave this GREAT flick a BUMP.

Too many new captains reporting in for duty here. Look at the FIRST post in the thread!

Don't want the download wait?

I am hosting it here. Great flick for those just joining us.

Bumping this for the benefit of new visitors to subsim, hopefully it will get a sticky and a flag on the main page.

Nice.

Great job, done!

You're from New York, right? Great counterpoint to my Texas drawl

I'm downloading now. I must admit this is long overdue and a very nice addition to this community. I've spent a week tearing apart all the sub sim forums looking for noob tutorials and videos. They aren't as common as you would think, excluding SHIII stuff. Of course, its a brand new game so can't expect things to happen overnight. Anyway, thank you for your contribution to this game and community.

I am starting to agree that map plot settings should still be viewed as 100% realism. The fact that we can not pause game to use in-game navmap or account for the fact that, in reality, there would be many other people with you in that sub to help you with all the multi-tasking sort of necessitates the need for some help. Although there may come a point in time where I am fast enough to actually complete all that is required to manually plot and target multiple ships in a convoy, at this point I tend to find that I run out of time and have to "wing" a lot of the numbers at the last minute so that I on periscope and ready when the ship/ships come into my target area.

According to this sim, it is only 100% realism if we do everything ourselves. But the true reality is that no real sub captian would be capable of doing all of this on his own in real time.

My current solution to this delimma is not automatic ship plotting in nav map. Instead I am hitting the pause button while I work calculations and plots outside of the game using a graph paper with ruler, compass, etc. Personally I think its the most fun and rewarding solution but some might find it "cheating" because I hit pause button. It's a tough call but I like doing it by hand and that in my opinion is about as real as its going to get.

I noticed that this isnt listed in Guides and Trainings: TDC, Radar, Sonar and More.

Any chance of getting it there as well ?

Thanks
