Question --- What other downloads can I add without a conflict with GW or that are already in GW.

Appreciate any Info.

Happy Sailing

Well your question has been asked a thousand times on this forum but that's ok because you're new as we all were once.

I'll tell you that probably most people here use the SH3 Commander mod. If you get it, you'll want to install the weather mod which will automatically be executed thru the Commander mod.

Get some sleep and I tell you where the happy hunting ground for unescorted passenger liners is!

Don't worry. You and everyone around you will eventually get used to the grizzled face and deep set eyes with rings around them like a racoon. You'll dive under the bed in the morning when the alarm clock goes off yelling AAAALLLLAAAARRRRMMMM. I recommend a wind up type with the ringer on top for realistic effect. You'll start to get that desire not to shave so to add to the effect of a couple months at sea. You'll eat your meals directly from the can, without heating them. You'll develope a distinct taste for salt pork, and herring. You'll let your bread sit out an hour or two before consuming it, and have to carve the greenish blue parts off that brick of cheese. I seldom use artificial lighting after dark while on the bridge, and have the temp for the house set at 52 degrees F. Lots of heavy wool sweaters, and suede jackets. While driving, you'll automatically start to scan the horizon, and the sky for targets, and enemy planes. My son now thinks his name is "number 1" even though he's 21 now. There's more but you'll find it out as you go.

Hylander_1314 is not too far from the truth. Don't forget about your family, you should visit with them between Patrols.

You may find yourself spending more money on books and U-Boat model kits, and watching Submarine movies. Welcome to our world, theres no turning back now.

G'day mate!

Happy to see that you found us, I myself haven't been here for too long, but I visit the site many times every day.

Just don't over do it, get some bloody sleep! Or you'll get mouse-arm like I got one night(or actually, one very very early morning

)

I wait till my wife falls asleep then i sneak back downstairs and pick up on my present patrol and use the headphones to keep the noise down.
The only trouble is my wife is due to have a baby any day so every now and again i sneak back upstairs to make sure its still just her in the bed and i havent missed the birth due to the headphones

Lifes great isnt it, modern technology in the living room goes a long way for driving a WWII u-boot

Maybe I could get Bernard to stand in for me in the delivery room whilst i keep watch in the control room.

AVGWarhawk · 11-01-06, 02:45 PM

My rig is in the basement of our home. Sometimes my wife will call my cell phone while she is upstairs and asks me to surface for dinner or to do something. But that is OK, I still love her anyway.

You do want your kid to come out with 10 fingers and 10 toes, don't you?

Herr Russ · 11-01-06, 02:57 PM

Three and a half hours until I'm back on patrol

Anyone else at work thinking the same thing??

Wife was getting tired of me asking her to mute the TV when I did my hydrophone checks so I wear headphones now... Same thing with the light on the cpu desk.. I have a red bulb in it now so the light doesn't bother her..

Three hours and twenty-six minutes now, but who's counting??

Hydrophone checks with headphones on...man, that's realism and immersion, and keeping the wife happy. That's a win-win scenario in my book.
