Might want to consider upgrading your reading skills as well :p

The manual is full of incorrect information and 'features' that do not exist. Other aspects of the game are completly overlooked.

'Rumor' has it that several pages were uh.... .lost when it went to press.

But you have a good source of solid factual info here at SubSim.

Sure hope you get your rig up to snuff soon its a very good game. FSX is not bad either but not as big a jump as SH3 to SH4 was graphic wise.

well ive actually turned down the graphics enough to play

are there any must have mods for SH4? I use GWX with SH3 (like almost everyone else)

Alot of people are useing the Trigger Maru mod. I think the latest vs. is 1.6. It makes he game more challanging, as well as adds a collection of other mods. You could see exactly what it dose and adds by reading the TM thread in the SH4 Mods Workshop. This is the mod that could be compared to GWX for SH3.

There are some fantastic visual mods out as well. The latest ones being LBO, and ROW. Both these mods make for an absolutely gorgeous, realistic ocean environment. Again, check out the main threads in the Mods Workshop. I must warn you though, these mods could be graphicly intense. Enable them useing the JSGME, this way if they slow your system down too much, you could simply disable them with no harm done.

Starfox, I always recommend you play it vanilla for a bit. Find out what you like and what you do not like. For the things you would like to change search the mod forums for what you are looking to change. Currently I'm using ROW and few texture mods.

Also beware of some mods that modify enviroments such as LBO (living breathing oceans) I tried some of them and it dragged my otherwise acceptable frame rates down to a slide show.

Fortunatly JSGME makes it easy to plug the mods in and 'unplug' them if necessary.
