Question regarding SH4 gold edition

Sailor Steve · 03-04-14, 10:16 PM

The 'U-Boat add-on' is Patch 1.5. It upgrades several items in the game. The u-boat war is just type IXs in the Pacific, but the Operation Monsun supermod makes a complete u-boat experience similar to SH3.

You can download the U-Boat add-on from Amazon for $9.99, or you can download the entire Gold Edition for $19.99, or you can buy it used on disc for $17.99. Whichever you choose, if you go to Amazon through the 'Quick Links' link at the upper right side of this page Subsim gets a small cut, at no extra cost to you.

Did you use the Subsim Amazon link? If not, then no, Subsim did not get anything.

Does the U boat upgrade enhance any of the graphics?
I noticed some screenshots on the Amazon page for the Gold edition and they looked a whole lot nicer than in my game and yes I do have all of my graphics settings turned all the way up.

My gold edition has the sonar off and I can't turn it on. Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks

You talking about the German or American side?

On the American side, Sonar is never turned "off". No place to switch it "off or on" for that matter.

On the other hand, Radar is "inoperable" if you don't have it when you leave the dock. Even though the game displays the two radar station screens (PPI and A-Scope) they won't work if the radar isn't installed on the boat.....at the proper time when it becomes available. One of the many things the developers never got around to do is implement the radar "covers" placed over the stations to have the radar appear inoperable. Their modeled in the game files, but never put into play. So, you have the radar sitting there as if its installed, but its not going to "turn on" until you have it made available in mid 1942. The later subs will have it already installed and working, after mid 1942.

I'm in the American campaign. My radar works fine. Using no mods and I've reloaded the game a few times. Sonar simply does not work. I can get along with the auto sonar, but if I go to the sonar room - nothing works manualy. Thanks for responding.
