Iron Coffins is still a winner and a popular choice for U-Boat enthusiasts.

Hi All,

Thanks to you all for all your advice,

Sim arrived, i installed and had a quick look [like you do] then installed GWX3 from Grey Wolves and obviously only noticed a few things at once but i am really impressed with what i have seen and reading their site they have done a fantastic job to the sim and all credit to them,

I have already emptied a black cartridge of ink on my printer and will be doing quite a bit of reading before playing the sim again so i can at least get my head around some of it to play it as real as possible,

I have found in this short time just how much work is/was involved running a sub, this may sound silly but having seen lots of films, real and like Das Boot over the years its not until now its something i have thought about, i can see now what folks say about saying goodbye to my wife!

although she is used to it as i have spent ten years or more flying my airliners!! [virtually],

Anyway enough of my waffling! back to my reading,

Cheers,

Roger.

If you have not gotten it already, there is an alternate version of the GWX manual at Jimbuna's Filefront page that does not have the background image on all the pages. That is the one you want to print out, trust me, it will take you far less time and ink.

I went through about three sets of black & tricolor cartridges and wasn't even halfway through printing the version that comes with the install, before I knew the other version existed.

Oops

600 pages or so is tiring to read,so I guess referring to certain sections as and when the time arises would be the best bet in trying to absorb that mammoth!

Yeah.

I've been asked more than once if I've read all the reference works I have in my collection. My answer is always the same: "No. I refer to them constantly, but I've never had a desire to read even one. That's why they're 'reference' books.

Hey Unleashhell,

Do you like the movie Gladiator by any chance?

Unleashhell · 06-26-10, 09:38 AM

Hi Paul,

Definitely!

I picked a username and tried three without success and this name seemed appropriate.

There are not many films i can say where a line sticks in my memory but this one for me is one of the best,

Cheers,

Roger.
