Getting Back Into SH3 - Page 2

Hi all,

I played a bit of SH3 over the last few years. I just got a new laptop and I'm trying to use Linux a lot more on it. I hope to transition away from Windows over the next year or so.

I was able to install WINE 1.3, Steam, and SH3. SH3 works just fine so far. There may be some weird issues later, but for now it's running great.

My SH3 install is bone stock. Now to my questions:

I'm doing Naval Academy on the bone stock install before I transition to any patches. In the navigation menu, I did everything it said to do, but I didn't get credit. I'm guessing I need to re-do the whole mission submerged. Anyway, at one point, I got a "radio message received" alert, but I can't remember how to check my messages. I checked the manual (useless!) and I checked my orders screen. I'm sorry I can't remember how to check my messages, and I feel kinda dumb for asking. But, here I am, hat in hand, asking where my "inbox" is. And how to get credit for the navigation mission.

For mods, I think I have used Grey Wolves. Is that still the community standard?

There were a few mods that gave you better mapping tools. A 360-degree protractor was one. Another measured angles for you. What map mods do you suggest for easing attack setups/execution?

I'm going to spend some time re-reading all the old threads and see if I can remember how to be a good captain. I always feel lost the first day of jumping back into an old sim.

Thanks all...
