Going to try SH4 - Page 2

Sorry for the double post

Just wanted to say I have got it all installed without a hitch and last night started the US campaign (RFB, RSRD). So far so good- I would say I am impressed!- The environment in particular is a huge improvement over SH3, the ambient lighting really feels like being 'outside'- you can almost smell the salty air! The sunsets are breathtaking. Lots of obvious improvements over its predeccesor, at least graphically.

One big bonus for me is not having to worry as much about saving the game, with the limited time I get to play the game I have to fit my session into a predetermined time period, usually 2 or 3 hours, and with the SH3 save issues I had to plan my movements around that, which was a pain in the butt.

I have one question- where can I read the gyroangle? So used to having it on my attack scope...

I do not have my game running, but go to periscope view. Open the left side of your screen to the screen that has the PK button and the two ships (called ship's dials.) (The other screen is the TBT screen.) Drag your cursor over the verticle reitcle on the ships dials, and you will get information, including the gyro angle, aob, your birthday, neal stevens' bank account number, etc.

Someone else may be able to articulate it better, and maybe put up a screen shot for you.

Why not try them all? Its only a couple of downloads for TMO, and there's also Operation Monsoon (OM) which is also great.

With the marvel that is the generic mod enabler, you can change between them at you leisure anytime.

Do not fear Berbunch! The Four word story game will always be my first love!
