Help with Silent Hunter 3

Panzerknacker · #1 (**permalink**) April 5th, 2007, 04:12 AM

Yes, I know it is good to keep games realistic, but i really don't have 48 hours to sit at a computer and wait until my u-boat enters its patrol area. Can anyone help me to speed the game up even more, rather than just change time compression???

I'm desperate to start bonding with my crew and get them some medals!!!

Seriously though, time compression is your friend. Dunno if you have noticed this, but when you are close to big, solid things (like land!) that can harm your sub, compression is limited to...don't remember offhand, but is it x256? Anyway, this is the case when leaving port, obviously.

Once you hit the open sea you can compress alot more, don't remember if its x1024, x2048 or something like that. While you do not exactly zip across the Atlantic to the US east coast, it is alot better than the measly compression available near land.

Good luck, herr Kaleun!

Sounds like you need Silent Hunter Commander which allows you to reset settings and manage your crew. Out of interest what version are you running? Stock vanilla or a super mod Rub, NYGM, GW, GWX.

SH3 Commander Release 2.7 is now available!

"Main engine" changes:

Now reminds player after exiting SH3 to rollback SH3 Commander
Modelling the effects of malfunctions or malfunctions+sabotage are now Gameplay settings under SH3 Options
Enhanced crew fatigue model functionality to include other related Basic.cfg file settings
Now groups Personnel Files by save data folder name

Removed UpdtCars.exe (no longer required)
Minor adjustments to main interface

Mod changes:

Note that prior to installing this release you must *fully* uninstall your current release. Don't forget to rollback SH3 Commander first and back up any SH3 Commander files that you may have modified!

To download, click here or use SH3 Commander's "Update" feature.

After you have installed SH3 Commander you can reapply any add-ons such as the Combined Skin Pack (note that if you plan on using GWX, installing the Combined Skin Pack is not recommended).

Please note that malfunction and sabotage effects are now OFF by default - you must switch the effects on via SH3 Commander's "SH3 Options" screen.

As always, please post your questions/feedback/problems to this thread after reading the readme and FAQ (both files are installed into your SH3 Commander folder and can be accessed by clicking the ? button). Due to other priorities, threads started elsewhere with titles like "Problem" or "Why won't this work", may not receive my attention.
