For some reason..folks here love this:

http://www.7-zip.org/

That's what you need to open .7z-files.

If you are a long-term WinZip user, I recommend giving IZArc a try. It's free, and its interface is pretty much a copy of WinZip's. Indeed, with IZArc installed you'll no longer even need WinZip.

Hello again, thanks for the links to enable me to download these mods. I seem to be having a few problems though in that I can't seem to make them work.

I have been downloading on to my desk top, unzipping the files there and then moving the new unzipped folder into my Ubisoft/SH3/Mods folder so that the JSGME enabler can enable the mods. When I run the game there seems to be no change. I have tried uninstalling SH3 Commander and then reinstalling it again after trying to run the enable in JSGME but this still does not help. I am running Vista. Any ideas?

The mods I'm trying to run are Longer Wakes, Torpedo Longer Wakes, Contact Colours (Map shows ship contacts in red, blue and green).

Thanks Realydedpoet, I am giving your advice a try.

You might also want to try unpacking the file directly to your mods folder instead of the desktop

reallydedpoet, thanks for the advice. I have managed to get 2 out of the 3 mods working

. The last one still evades me - Contact Colors (where the ships are portrayed on the contact map as green, red or blue). Which specific files should I be placing in my Mods folder for this to work? Can you cast any light on this for me Jimbuna?

BTW - U83 looks fab with exhaust smoke and a decent wake when surfaced
