Silent Hunter IV has gone GOLD !!

flanybody - is SH4 multi threaded? I read somewhere that only a few of the minor game functions would take advantage of multi-threading so basically your 1.6 ghz dual-core is just going to run the game at the speed of a standard 1.6 ghz processor if I understand the technicalities of mult-threading correctly.

Also, is your video card a discrete card of one of the "hyper-cache" style ones that borrows from the system memory?

edit: I see you were referring to SH3 in your original post. I'm almost sure SH3 didn't take advantage of multi-threading at all.

You keep mentioning mods for SH3, which would you suggest? I a woefully ignorant of the modding communities. Any help?

As Dixie said, check out subsim. Start with Grey Wolves.

Well the intro looked good.
 
I'm looking forward to trying this out but it will have to wait until tomorrow............

Here's another one, taken just before a hard-reset crash. Damn, it's wobbly...

As a comparison.. here's a screenshot I took a couple days ago after the 1.2 patch. 

I'm running at 1280x1024 4xAA with all options on & max'd but for post-process filtering (since I don't like the 'old movie' overlay look even though it seems to increase my fps slightly). 

It's running at between 30-48 fps on my A64 3700, 2GB RAM, 7900GS

Anyway, here's a Japanese Sub-Chaser that was looking for me after I blow'd up his Destroyer buddy as they were cruisin' by me.
