...And Again...

Sailor Steve · 02-03-20, 09:21 AM

It's hard to believe it's been five years since the last time I tried this, but with '100 Years' finally out of the way it's time once again to try Silent Hunter III.

I have several games I'm trying as well - Wings Over Flanders' Fields, Train Simulator, Microsoft Flight Simulator Ten (or FSX, as it's commonly called), and Lockheed-Martin's flight sim Prepar3d. People call that one by a lot of different names, but the manual says it's pronounced "Prepared".

So, I'll be tracking my progress with re-installing SH3 the way I like it. I'll be referring to my old thread as a guide to how I did it before. This time maybe I'll finish one career before I get distracted by something else. I'll be doing all this on a new desktop computer I bought a couple of years ago and have upgraded a couple of times since then.

Bug bites are a terrible thing ...

Good luck.

Good hunting,

That's a good one. It took me a minute to figure it out though. But you're right. I've been bitten far to many times.

i too am just getting back into SH3, after what must be close to 10 years!

at the moment DCS (flying the Harrier) has been my main 'milsim' obsession, but ready to get back into the water!

Where the heck do I get the game now? I remember in the past I got it from a site I can't remember. Heard bad things about the Steam version.

Thanks all!

I got my copy on line from Ubisoft's website store. Paid 10$ for it. Single best purchase I never regretted.
