I understand that the game is locked/native to 1024x768 but I've heard there's some sort of hack/mod that can get around this?

For GWX, Ahnenerbe WideGui 1920 x 1080 works fine at the specified rez. If you want to try NYGM (my preference), Van1920x1080 works with NYGM 3.6D and Hitman's GUI.

I've seen some post claiming that 1650x1050 is best because you can accidentally fire torpedoes with the resolution set at 1920x1080 due to the screen positioning/stretching taking place. Is that right?

No. There are some hi-rez mods that have been around for a long time that people seemed to have that problem with. Nothing inherent.

Thanks Mate!

Tell me, what's the difference between NYGM and GWX 3.0? I've seen very little about NYGM and lots on the net about GWX 3.0 that everyone has said is the Holy Grail of mods for Silent Hunter III. Is one superior to the other? Is NYGM newer than GWX 3.0? Which offers the best graphical enhancements?

Seems like my kind of place! ... With all the talk about beer and women and naval stuff, what's not to like?!

This question has been the subject of quite a bit of correspondence lately. There are links in this thread to good discussions of the four major supermods (GWX, LSH3, NYGM, and WAC):

Ultimately though, you need to try them and decide which suits you the best. At present, I believe only GWX and NYGM have mods that take them to 1920x1080.

Thanks a lot for all your help! I am currently using the GWX and 1920x1080 fix/mod you provided in your first response to me. Working good so far. I'll probably use this for awhile and if I get bored and want to change things up I'll give the other "super mods" a go in the future.
