Ok so I tried SHIV

I finally loaded up SH4 last night. Patched to Version 1.2 and was checking out the "eye candy" in the first nav exercises. Very nicely done. It looks really good.

Here are my specs:

AMD X2 4800
2 gigs of ram
7800GT Vid Card
WinXP Pro

With everything maxed out and in 1290 by 980 32bit 100mhz refresh I am getting a steady 30fps.

So I loaded up the MODS, FTT and a few other choice ones and I am off on patrol in Pacific, probably this weekend!

Warts and all, with a few more patches by the devs and mods from our wonderful and creative modders this will be a Grand Sim! Thanks to all!

I think the game is superior in all ways except for gameplay. SH3 with all patches and GWX is better balanced I think!

But SH4 will hopefully catch up after a while

Did I mention I hit the cruiser in the torpedo training with manual TDC. All 4 torpedoes, default settings, I cheated in that I knew the CA was going at 9 knots.

I deserve a medal just clicking and dragging the stadimeter and all the dials with my mouse lag was a true adventure in itself.

Ah well back to the Atlantic for now.

Wow, and you run GWX on THAT?!

Man, the 5200 for me was two video cards ago, and I consider myself a very poor gamer (that is, can't afford much in the way of upgrades).

Hope ya join us when things are modded up!
