Howdy ya I just reinstalled this as well. This is what I think is the latest and greatest. I tend to go for realistic gameplay.
Install SH2 2) Install the official v1.01 patch 3) Install PM 1.03 4) Install Vicker's Oil Slick 3.0 and Vicker's Fireball addon 5) Install Fletcher's Enhancement Mod 2.3 6) Rainmod.zip (this one makes the rain not white and looks the best) 7) macstu23_SH2moon 8) SHII_New_Sun 9) SHII_BlueMaps 10) reticlemod 11) SH2awardfix 12) bergen_sh2_menus 13) tdc_gauge1 14) Sound Mod ProjektSchwertfisch (this one really spices it up too) 15) I have not tried Seedlers Sky or Land Mod, have not been able to find them on internet. 16) Then install Aces Random Campaign 2.0 17) I think Fletchers realism mod 2.3 has either Uboatmod 2.2 and DES5v3 mod included in it. Or is the latest work in trying to improve game in this area. Not real sure though. These mods above seem to improve the game where needed. And so far is all that I am using. Hope this helps you get started. Anyone with more knowledge please chime in. Lonny |

Over the years I have collected many mods and add-ons to both Silent Hunter 2 and Destroyer Command. Some of these are very hard to still find on the internet. I have 33 mods for SH2 and 17 for DC and may still have a few still hiding on a drive somewhere. I can burn these onto a disk if any one would like them. Just let me know.
What I have... SH2 Mods: Vickers Oil Slick 3 Vickers Fireball Subsim High Res SHII PM High Res Add-on SHII Sky Mod with Rain SHII Sky Mod without Rain SHIIOcean v1 SHII New Sun SHII Landscape 3 SHII Blue Maps SH2 Patch 1.1 Projekt Schwertfisch SP2 Projekt Schwertfisch PM 103 install Das Boot Scope Kit Convoy Mod 20 Bergen Menuge 1 Bergen Menuge 2 Bergen SH2 Menus Pacific Aces RC4 S-Class PA addon Sea Lords Mod Xxiii mini sub mod Mathes Captains Cabin Ace gauge mod1 Silent tool 102 SH2 Keys SS_S Class SS upholder L Merch Kandelfels Raider Q Pinguin V2 Q-Ships Arctic Pack DC Mods: PMDC 103 install DC patch 1.1 Med campaigns scenarios Bridge WW2 1.3 Main Battery Director 1.0 Turret Large Screen Fletcher DC Mod V1.0 Outside bridge Bismarck Brit Escorts Eugen Graf Spee Hood v. 3.0 NBBKing George V Scharnhorst US Destroyers Pack DC Audio

Hi Reinhard sending you a PM. Ya I am interested in a few mods you got. Have a few questions also.
My ProjektSchwertfisch file when I right click on it, it says version 2.0 is this ProjektSchwertfisch_SP2? You know anthing about Fletchers realism mod 2.3 versus Uboatmod 2.2 or DES5v3 mod. Is Fletchers the best? Can these be mixed for better results? Every heard of Arlo Waves Mod? Is there a Projekt Schwertfisch SP3? How about a brief description of the mods listed below SS_S Class SS upholder L Merch Kandelfels Raider Q Pinguin V2 Q-Ships Arctic Pack Thanks Reinhard! Lonny |

Mods loaded, existing games fail...
Have loaded PM1.03, Vickers Oil Slick, and now get the following Janus Error on attempting to continue a mission... (do I have to start afresh?)

Thanks Reinhardt,
I worked out that I couldn't use a saved game - started the mission from scratch with no problems |
