Default Joefour

Hey Guys, I just wanted to say hello. I joined up a few minutes ago. I've had SH3 for about 1 1/2 weeks now and I have trouble walking away from it!
I did have a couple of questions for any experienced Kapitaen-Leutnants out there. On the con, the watch guys are cupping their hands around their eyes. What happened to their binoculars?? I have version 1.4.0.1.
Also, in some of the tutorials I've looked at, the person is using some pretty fancy protractors and other chart tools. Much different from the protractor I got with my game. Is that a downoad or some other version of the game? Any info on those two subjects much appreciated.

Welcome aboard!

There are some glitches with SH3 that are fixed by simply reloading the game. Others take mods. The "Chart Tools" question sounds like it might be "SH4 Map Tools For SH3".
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...do=file&id=729

Here is a sample of some of the mods that can be used with SH3.

More ideas and better answers can be had by asking in theSH3 forum.

Default Reloading

Do you know if reloading the game will lose me my saved career?

Welcome Aboard Joefour

The graphics problem may well be down to low specs on your current card...what do you currently have?

You can save the careers folder to desktop then replace the same folder in your new installation but ensure you have made no modifications or have no differences between both installations.

Jimbuna,

I have to admit I'm not even sure what kind of graphics card I have. I will try saving the carreer folder asnd reinstalling. That is, if I can ever tear myself away from the game long enough to do it!

For all the help you guys have given me, I say Tausend Dank, meine Kameraden!
