Default SH3 U.S. Pacific Sub or Surface Campaign ???

Finally I got a machine up and running sh3, ending a year of exile from 3 and 4 . I have seen some beautiful mods of Japanese surface ships and was wondering if anyone was working on a U.S. Pacific campaign like Pacific Aces for SH2....???? I got warship mod for SH3 up and running, I like, nice work guys.

No. That's what SH4 is for. Not much need to spend countless hours doing making something for SH3 when SH4 already looks and works better.

What are your specs? I'm running a six-year-old hunk of junk and get better results with SH4 than with 3.

I'm on an old gate way with pent 4 2gig , 512 ram with GeForce FX 5200 it runs sh3 very well after getting the drivers staighten out. Burn my Compac up 2 years ago, got 2 gigs of DRR2 on hand too through into a newer dell that I acquired awhile ago but can't get around Vista admin password, and to top it off I got a dell optiplex 740 that would run sh4, but is missing direct draw on the generic video card. I know download the stuff, not that easy my online acsess is on a community wireless set up so I can't hard wire into the net. What is a waste, is have-ing those great Japanese surface mods and, not be able to sink them. And thanks for the timely responce

I'm also using an old Gateway P4. It originally only had 512mb RAM. I bumped it up to 2gb, then 4gb, and that's when I found out the 32-bit system could only use 2gb.

The best thing I did for this machine was to buy it an ATI 4650, 1gb graphics card. Where before I got maybe 10 fps with everything shut off, I now run it with all the graphics options maxed out, and it loves it. Funny thing is, it still has troubles with SH3 fully maxed. I would have gone with an even better card but my graphics slot is AGP, and the 4650 is the best I could by for that old slot.
