My hart skipped a beat when I had seen this on the front page. I thought maybe an expansion pack for Dangerous Waters. Still no matter, I might just get in anyway as I lack 688i and Fleet command. And the DVD looks pretty nifty.

Thanks SCS for this incredible news.

Anxiously waiting for august.

The DVD is great, I already watched it thrice (ordered it back in the days when BattleFront sold it). This documentary alone is worth the price, and besides you get evergreens like Fleet Command in this package.

Sub Sailor · 07-02-06, 09:23 AM

For what is worth, I would recommend that all of you pick this pack up. My very first sim was FC followed shortly by 688i. Yes both are dated and no the graphics are not SC or DW, but they are enjoyable sims. There is a ton of 688i missions out there, and with this combat pack they will come back. I have many of them and if someone want them I will post them, I may need some help (hint hint Sonar732) on posting them.
For you who have not played them-you will like them-just go in with the attitude they are older, but Sonalyst has fixes so they will run with XP-if I can do this I know all you can. Besides older is not bad, I can attest to that.
I still believe 688i is one of the finest submarine sims ever produced. AND, maybe if these sell Sonalyst may see fit to develop and NEW FLEET COMMAND and just maybe a Sub Sim based on the Virginia

Go for it you want be sorry,

I know it is not out, is there any news on it at all? I would also appreciate if someone has an idea of how to reduce or stop the flashing/flickering in SC and FC. What ever was done to DW worked. I replaced a lot in my PC, at the advice of NVIDIA-Power supply, increased RAM, new mother board, did not help. I still believe it was something something to do with XP. When I went to XP is when the problem started. So if anyone has a fix please share it. DW is excellent now.

Thank you,

Hi Sub Sailor. This pack is to be released on October 31st as advertised on the link. Hopefully it won't get pushed back. As far as the flickering, I believe that this issue was worked on for the release of this pack. I'm not too sure of their success in eliminating it. But it was looked into.

Fire_Spy · 10-25-06, 08:52 AM

I am looking forward to it. It's a pity they cant release a newer version of Fleet command , Because it sounds like such a good game.

I know that lots of people probably created additional scenarios for it. Where would one get them?

I would like to download them in anticipation of getting this pack.

Thanks in advance.

Actually it sounds like you could make a couple of scenario's from Red Storm Rising with it. Most notably Dance of the Vampires.

Sub Sailor · 10-25-06, 09:03 AM

Appreciate the response, I hope it comes out, whatever they did cannot hurt, I know they fixed DW.

lets hope they don't push back the naval pack.
Finally, after waiting 3 months the day is near.
If it sells well, can we expect a 1.04 patch for DW ?

I may be a bit confused here, but I have seen this pack in stores here in Canada (Staples for one, Wallmart and EB games). Maybe its not the one you guys are talking about, but its a tripple pack with FC, 688 and SC all in one nice looking box. If memory serves me right, its been out here for at least a month, and the price tag ist too bad (about $19.00 Can, which is probably baout $3.99 US LMAO).

Anyway, I would sure have bought it if I didnt already have all of them, but it would be worth it just for 688 (which I do have 6 copies of, as when I find it somewhere I gobble them all up incase I find someone that needs a copy).

Anyway, if I missed the boat on the pack your talking about, sorry lol

goldorak · 10-27-06, 07:24 PM

@Stern: maybe the pack you're talking about was an old one. In the new version apart from the 3 bundled games we have a dvd about the history of submarines.
It should be around 20 $.

Their missiles needed precise information if they were to home in on the raid's primary target, the two American and one French carrier, or the mission was a wasted effort. The game was hide and seek, played over a million square miles of ocean. The losers died.
