Good shipmate, Windows 10 is a PIG with LIPSTICK! I also feel partly the same about NVIDIA these days.

Or, maybe I'm just getting old.

That is all. Carry on.

Did the mod builder include a fix for the flotilla choice location map for stating new careers?
Also wondering if there is any fix or file to correct this.

I'm only able to start a career starting from Kiel (in a Type II).

SH3 Commander doesn't allocate any type for Flotillas starting from Wilhelmshaven and when I try to start a career from Wilhelmhaven in a Type VII, I get the dreaded 'SH3 Has Stopped Working' at the loading screen.

Did you install the SH3 Commander files for GWX 3.0? If yes, the problem lays with some other modification added to GWX 3.0. The solution for you will be to backtrack and remove modifications until you find the culprit.

What is your list of modifications? Did you do the SH Validator check? Most likely you have an error in the cfg unit. There are different types of rosters, campaigns, and units.

Thanks for the feedback

I've been running a bunch of mods, so it seems there is a conflict somewhere and after some investigation the FM New Interiors Mod is the culprit, which is a shame as I really like this mod and it works with Anherbe Wide GUI mod with no problems.

So - is anybody running the New Interiors mod with the ARB mod with no problems?

Are you using a 4 Gb Patch? This is a prerequisite.

Anyone encountered this before?
Just a bump to see if anyone has any ideas on this issue.

Default Rediscovering SH3 with this GUI Mod

So I've re-discovered gameplay in SH3 GWX - ARB's 1920x1080 is the only widescreen mod that I can get to display on my entire screen (MaGUI, Ahnenerbe are both great mods too, they just won't fill my whole screen).

1. How much zoom is the attack scope supposed to go to? I have 1.5x and 6x. Is there a 12x? Should I be able to CTRL-mousewheel to zoom or just normal mousewheel and two zoom levels?
2. I assume the observation scope has the same zoom levels?
3. When using the RAOBF wheel, I'm consistently getting incorrect ranges and AOBs. What zoom level should I be using? How many horizontal tick marks should I be counting when determining AOB (i.e. do I need to double the count or not)?
4. When opening up the RAOBF, it defaults to selecting an AOB on the scratchpad. Is the RAOBF in this mod designed to *just* do AOBs? Or can I line up the quantity of vertical ticks to 90 degrees and read off the range at the point where it lines up with the mast height? I see no other way of entering a range into the scratchpad other than using the stadimeter.
5. An ideas if using Tribute to Manual targeting followed by the MFM and Izgud's new silhouettes could be throwing off my measurements? I note that most of the silhouettes are missing reference marks to indicate whether the mast or the funnel is the intended reference height.
6. What's the division of the tick marks on the UZO to determine range? Likewise on the scopes? Does it work out to be H * 50/ticks (x1.5) or H * 200/ticks (6x) to give a rough estimate of range?

When you click on an officer Chief engineer, Navigator, Weapons, there;s a small set of order that pop up over the top of them. using 1024 768 ini is it possible to edit those graphics\orders making them larger. say the same size as the second set of commands ie, Depth under keel, Range to cores end...

I'm looking to make them larger and easier to see.
but before I start tinkering with it I wanted to ask if im looking in the right place.
1024 ini file.

thanks

I was able to get the SH3.exe to patch but now when I launch the game it says "cannot initialize 3D engine."

Default Awesome GUI - SH3 is great again!

I decided to go back to subsims during the lockdown, and since my PC won't run SH5, I decided to try out SH3 with the 1920x1080 GUI. All I can say is WOW and a big thank you to the many modders who contributed.

I know many people aren't into sims from 2005, but the HD GUI is amazing. I'm two missions in to a new career and loving it. It's like finding an old friend.

Welcome back! I think you'd be surprised how strong both SH3 and SH4 are going these days. Just look at the number of people viewing each forum compared to SH5 at any given time.



In my opinion, the toughest part is dealing with Windows 10 quirks and adjusting NVIDIA gfx settings. Once that's sorted.... splish-splash, a hunting we will go!

Sink'em ALL!
