Simulation addict but submarine newb here!

vegeta020 · 12-02-15, 11:41 AM

Hi there everyone. I am a 22 year old simulation addict. I've been playing aircraft simulations since i was 7, starting with IL-2 Sturmovik, then going moving on to both FSX, Lock On and X Plane.
I also played every ArmA game since Op Flashpoint to Arma 3.
I even led a 15 men IL-2 Section and Arma 3 section with a bit over 30 men at times.

Now I am here as a part of a personal challenge of mine. I have once (when i was a kid) played 2-4 hours of SH3, but i didn't really get what was going on. Prior to that i played a lot of that old DOS game "Das Boot", but I don't think we can really count that as some real kind of simulation.
So, now, i am here with some basic tutorials, and today I am starting my first SH3 Career. I am going in with almost no knowledge at all and hoping to learn as I go. Wish me luck

Hello Vegeta020, welcome to the submariners' world ! I recommand you to install a supermod before starting a career. GWX 3.0 is the most popular one : http://www.thegreywolves.com/downloads/. For little mods, you should download a very good tool called JSGME : http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=4653.

Good luck for your first patrol !

I feel like such a kid for asking this...
I have done as you've instructed me and torrented the expansion you've linked (version 3.0), downloaded SH3 Commander, and patched it for use with GWX 3.

Now I wanted to personalize crew names but my crew management screen is greyed out and i cannot change anything. Any ideas?

When you say "greyed out", do you mean the in-game screen or in Commander?

The way to do it is to set up the game the way you want it and run a "false patrol". This is done by starting a patrol and immediately ending it. After that SH3 Commander will let you have access to its Crew Management screen, at which point you can change anything you want.
