Yeah....both downloaded, I read the other message too. Now i just only need Mare Nostrum. It's a bit hard to find, at least for me.... a lot of time on the web without results! Ok, til the next time and again.... thank you very much!!!!!

No problem. You can ask on milles sabords if someone still have Mare nostrum.

I would like to post an update addressing Horsa's request to hear a little more about the Flotille mod (FMS) at the Mille Sabords forum. I downloaded from the link provided by UglyMowgli. The .exe was flagged as a potential virus, but I had a feeling my custom set firewall was just being as prudent as I told it to be, and indeed the link was genuine. I've only so far explored the DC mod, and have yet to investigate the SHII mod. It does seem to be an amalgamation of different mods, with original content. I have identified elements from the Iron Seas mod so far, especially with the CIC screens, but I've only just started tinkering with Flotille. It adds new Shell music and intro screens. There are new unit and model elements, including the Littorio-class battleship and the Cavour-class battleship. I don't know if they are originally from the Mare Nostrum mod or novel creations. There is a unit file to add the British-loaned battleship Arkhangelsk. Since Soviet navy ships have never been much of an element in either DC or SHII, save some merchants and a few destroyers, I find this to be a interesting addition. There are Italian sub units and models added, and I've even spotted a Greek cruiser. There are a few new missions in the Historical folder that appear to be missions between the ABDA and the Japanese. There does seem to be an interesting side-effect of installing the mod, as the Shell text now appears to be in French. I have not yet been able to find a fix for this, and restoring a backup of the Shell DSF does not return the text to English. For someone like me, however, who has played this game to the point that menu navigation is a matter of muscle memory, this will hopefully not be a problem. It also appears that it is necessary to manually make a backup of any files that wish to be retained as the installer does not automatically make a backup. I look forward to exploring this mod more. That being said, I too am looking for the Mare Nostrum mod also and have been unable to find it. I'm curious as to why it is not included somewhere in the Subsim downloads or legacy downloads, but perhaps there is some reason for this. If anyone is able to find that mod, do let me know. In the meantime, it appears the Flotille mod will do nicely for those of us wishing to incorporate the Regia Marina in our scenarios.

I have found a copy of Mare Nostrum in one of my old DVDs. I uploaded it to my Mega account:

https://mega.nz/file/ogpmHASL#1b2Qgl...IoPw9z977G8nKE

Don't ask me for instructions because I haven't used DC in more than 10 years.

..... I was just a little time away, now I came back here by chance and my God, .... wonderful, what a gift you left for me!!! Frankly, you made me really very very happy with Mare Nostrum mod!!! I looked for months everywhere for it.... no way to find a place for downloading. I have to say, the search has been much more difficult compared with FMS mod. So, what can I say... man, YOU ARE GREAT!!!!!!! Heartfelt thanks from Italy for your kindness - Saluti di cuore dall'Italia.

P.S.:I was thinking.... there is actually no other valid link on the web to download such a mod!

Glad to help

Actually I think I'll give DC another try. Long ago I stopped playing it because my NVIDIA graphic card made it almost imposible to play due to distorted text. That was back in WinXP OS. I tried again a few years ago with Win7 but the issue was still there.

But I found out that my brand new rig with W10 and GEFORCE graphic card doesn't have this problem, and after the complete mess World of Warships has become, DC is the only naval surface game I consider right now.

So it's time to relearn this goldie. I have the basic install that is patched to v1.03. Was Project Messerwetzer (or something spelt similarly

) also recommended for Destroyer Command? Any help to bring back the game into operative status will be welcome.

EDIT: Added patch 1.1, and Project Messerwetzer, but it makes the mouse move so fast on screen that it's very hard to use. Couldn't find a mouse speed field in the multiple .ini files along the folders, so I had to remove P. Messerwetzer to bring mouse speed back to normal.

Re: Mouse too fast. Known problem of DC using win 7 & 10. I don't know of a way to slow mouse down enough using the games settings.

For me the best way is to use the mouse setting in Windows before starting the game. This is PITA to do each time i play but it does give better mouse control over the various dials while playing the sim.

Basic procedure : Right click on your desktop, then left click on Personalize-Mouse Pointers- Pointer Options -Motion Option- drag the slider to change speed- then save settings.

I installed DC to Win 7 / 64 bit / SSD/ Nvidia GTX1660 and it runs and looks great. I tweaked the Graphic card antialiasing setting a little. Im not surprised that DC and Win 10 works too. You just need to set the usual compatibilities that are required for older games and I recommend install ing outside the " Program files" folder. Large address aware" should help with newer PC with lots of memory.

I reloaded the DC base game, 1.1 patch, PM 1.03, Fletchers mod 1.0, Kriegstanz editor , and lots of graphic and sound mods. Most of these are available in Subsim's download area. Some I made myself. I build my own semi-dynamic scenarios by using Kreigstanz and then manually editing the . scn files.

Hi, do you have Kriegstanz-editor? It should be possible for you to upload it somewhere. I can't find this tools anywhere.

Greets.

Hi... yes, me too. I have a old GeForce graphic card on an Athlon 3000+ with XP as OS. I prefer to use this pc to play old games/simulators. Till now, no remarkable problem with DC and other interesting titles like, for example.... Fighting Steel. In my opinion, DC & FS with related mods are the two best softwares to simulate/recreate naval surface battles.

To the next, be well 👋🏻😉
