Aces of the Deep Manual

Ahh yes, the Aces of the Deep map.

Once again AoD does it better...
What the heck is wrong with the SHIII map anyways, I can't put my finger on it.

It's not real. The AOD map is a reproduction of a real Kriegsmarine map.

Jee! Anyone else pinning for the times when Games came in boxes with an actual book as a manual!

I remember the cool times when I got my first Jane’s Apache Longbow sim. The pilot’s handbook was amazing! A ring book heavy and thick! Full of Tactics, Tech info, avionics and all the other stuff that made you feel like a simmer!

Or Falcon!

Sigh!

PS. Thanx for the link bigboy!

Ahhhh Yes...the days when opening the box was almost as fun as the game itself.......Red Baron, Aces of the Pacific, Silent Service II.....

If anybody has any problems running CAOD on their XP machines, I found a great way that works for me.
Go to Start- Help and Support- type 'compatible' in search then click on 'getting older programs to work'
Then use the 'compatiblity wizard'
Don't forget to tell the wizard to run the game in 256 colors.

Right...But still a nice looking and accurate reproduction. Beats what we get with SHIII.

I think Sailor Steve was answering my question of what was wrong with the SHIII map.
Well, let's all hope SHIV comes with a 250 pages paper manual with lots of maps and charts! (yeah right, dream on.)

Exactly. The AOD map IS real. The SHIII map is not. That's what's wrong with it.
