Newbie to Subsim and to game modding

FatRascal,

Welcome to Subsim and the world of Silent Hunter.

Kind regards

Welcome aboard everybody.

There are no such things as stoopid questions, just wrong threads, and there have been neither here so far. Ask away and the Gods will reply (and I'll stick my oar in to admit I know nothing!)

If you are using SH3 Commander, and you screw around with the time compression settings a certain way, it can cause sound problems.

Thanks guys - sorted it. It's now "activated" in JSGME.

Am I right in thinking though that the lifeboats won't appear until I start a new patrol from base?

Really helpful community here - thanks again folks!

As a general rule, mods should be enabled/disabled when you are already in base between patrols - if you do it while you are in the middle of a patrol you may have difficulty loading your saved games since they were created when the game's files were different than they are after adding/removing additional modifications.

From your question it sounds like you may have been in the middle of a patrol when you enabled the mod, so you may have some troubles - won't know until you try, I guess. Good luck!

If you do experience problems, delete the career and start a new one because it is not worth the hassle a corrupted save file in a career can cause.
