The Sub's "Direction Tail" Lost In GWX

[Bent Periscope]

Please excuse the following but I am trying to make sure I have all the steps since I will be trying to make these changes tonight at home.

As instructed, I will download the "7-Zip Command Line Version" file and save it to my desktop. Then I'll open it to install it.

Then do I still do the other steps that I was doing:
I clicked on the below Re-direct.
It took me to Jimbuna's FileFront site.
I clicked on "Download Now".
It opened another webpage for FileFont and then the File Download page came up.
I clicked on "Save" then selected to SAVE in my SH3 folder. It states that the only save type is a .7z Document.
When Save completed for the 43.3KB document, I "Close".

From here, I'm assuming that the 7-zip file will allow me to decompress the file. I will then move the appropriate folder to the MODS folder and install with JSMBE. Cross my fingers and hope it works, I can't wait to use soem of these Mods.

Please let me know if I missed any steps or need to do something else.

Don't worry....we'll get you sorted.

Easier still, simply go here: http://www.filehippo.com/

Scroll down to the Compression and Backup section and click on 7zip

A page will open with a green section on the right...click on the 'download latest version'

You can either run it from there or save it to desktop or another folder of your choice and install it into your pc from that folder.

That is correct

Jimbuna,

It worked!!!

Now I have to try to get the lifeboat mod to work. It is a RAR file and I saw that there was also a RAR at that same site.

BTW, do you remember a thread regarding a more powerful torpedo that was able to really blow up ships. I remember them saying that a destroyer would be blown in 2 pieces and each would be tossed in the air.

Thanks,

BP

7-zip will/should open a RAR file without any problems....simply unpack the mod into your JSGME folder and enable it.

I'm afraid I can't help you concerning the torpedo thread, my interests are more for a realistic perspective.

Anyone know how I can get rid of the tail and colors?


I'm running NYGM 3.1 and have used the Realistic contacts mod. I want to try something different where I can "see" the contact report but the speed and heading are not there unless it is mentioned in a radio report. Not as random but still will make me think twice about chasing down every contact that pops up on the map.
