That's really close, depending on the size and speed of the ship. I'm guessing like 750m or so for perfectly straight snapshots liek that too work well. Be careful of secondary explosions.

I've tried to mod my stock version of SHIII without success. When I attempt to open a config. file, I get a message that Adobe reader is not compatable with it. I've tried to download a file reader and that has not worked. Even with the stock version, I can't trust a base course of a target?

What bothers me is when my engines are shut down and i am listening with my hydrophones, i get a loud annoying buzz noise, but not when my engines are running. I get it under water as well.That's when i'm in external view(F12), of course.Any fix?

Use notepad or wordpad. the CFG files aren't adobe compatible, they're just text files by another name,

Thanks!
I wanted to eliminate the crew fatigue so I used wordpad to mod the fatigue files, yet, when I tried to save the mod, I got a message that changing the files was "denied". I'd like to use the different mods for the game, but I'm very happy playing the stock version. I'm on my second patrol.

use SHC to alter your fatigue failes. It's got a few presets built in that make it easier.

And it sounds like something else has that file open when you tried to change it. Make sure nothing else (LIke SHC or the game) is running and using that file.

That's why it is suggested to not install SH3 and SH3 Commander in Program Files (in Vista and Windows 7). Modding files can be hell in the default install location in Program Files in those OS-es.
