August-15-2010:

Hello friends of LSH3,

after the Football World Cup and the summer holidays, LSH3 V5.1 will be released soon.
We intend to release this Update until the end of September.

What will be included:
  • Changes were made to the terrain by Ottibald. He added and improved the airport at Kiel-Holtenau.
  • The coloured map, made by IFRT-WHUFC is included in LSH3V5.1.
  • The WoodenLifeboats from IABL are integrated.
  • The third search pattern used from the NA-Station is now available to plot the course out of the harbour of Kaseburg. Coming home you may end your journey using the SH3 function. Swinemünde has therefore become a neutral base in this time.
  • Bertl01 has researched new crash depths for the U-Boats.
  • Minor changes for the campaign files.
  • 9 new ships, 8 made taken from IABL plus the MS Steuben, made by SOM GROUP, converted by MOLKE 2005.
  • Matz1962 has added a new siren for the Ju87 which sounds much better than the older one.
  • Furthermore he changed the Ju88 from a level bomber to a dive bomber and added a new sound.
  • The LeighLights were moved to a new position, out of the aerofoil to a position below the wing. Of course this was not correct for the Wellington and the Liberator, but it looks much better than a light shining out of the body of the plane.
New MODS in LSH3V5.1
  • LSH3_V5.1_ATM_Blau, LSH3_V5.1_ATM_Gruen

Matz1962 made a new atmosphere mod out of the basic work of OneLifeCrisis, Reece and Makman94. This one is available in two versions _LSH3_V5.1_ATM_Blau and _LSH3_V5.1_ATM_Gruen. As an amendment he added two sun-fix-mod’s which can be activated after the corresponding main mod. The fixes are necessary if the sun appears in free camera (F12) as a flat disc.
The brightness below the surface was considerably improved and now allows the very best screenshots in deep waters.
Additionally new cloud formations were generated and the funnel smoke was improved.

A preview is available at:

 

Availability and Download:

LSH3V5.1 will be available in two versions:

  • As an Update for LSH3V5 to LSH3V5.1 for those who already use LSH3V5.
  • As a new full version LSH3V5.1 for those who download LSH3 for the first time.
What will not be included within LSH3V5.1

  • Flakmonkeys Interiors

Due to the availability of this MOD currently only for Type VII we decided not to use it.
If it will be available for the type IX in the foreseeable future we will of course use this MOD, because then the mostly used U-Boat types will be available.
  • OpenHatch by DivingDuck

Generally speaking this MOD will do fine with LSH3V5.1, but there are faults in the details. Because the corrections of these faults will lead to other problems we skipped this MOD for LSH3V5.1.
  • LSH3-5_DFa-Flag&Penns_2010 von Anvart

This MOD first offers the very nice newly animated flags. But they are not correctly fixed to the flagstaff.
Beside this, the pennants, showing the ships sunk on the last patrol, will only be visible within less than 400m from your start position. To see the correct pennants, the player will have to exit the game, edit a U-Boat config file and then start the game again to see his pennants raised. This seemed to us to be a too complicated way for the player.
Furthermore this MOD takes an unwished influence on the radar controls.

Release: 12-14-2009
Dear Silent Hunter III Friends!

After nine month of intensive time of production, we are pleased to present the new LivingSilentHunter III V5 to the SH3-Player community.

Within LSH3 V5 are integrated:
  • LSH3 V5 MainMOD
  • Eleven LSH3 V5 AdditionalMODs
  • Eight LSH3 V5 AdditionalMODs-Variants
  • Six SH3-Tools.



This in-a-box-solution makes the game even more “Living”.

The changes in LSH3 V5 in few words:
As a part of the new features of LSH3 V5 amongst others, the six new warships and six new merchant ships may be counted.
For the U-Boats it is now possible to see the torpedoes in the opened torpedo tubes. The U-Boat-Types, which in the course of time may be equipped with a snorkel, now can fly a flag at their flagstaff on the “Wintergarten”.
To the world of SH3 comprehensive additions were made in Germany.
The “Jadebusen” (Wilhelmshaven) with the new harbour “Wilhelmshaven”, a Terrain-Update for “Swinemünde”, the new harbour of “Kaseburg” and due to a navigable “Kaiserfahrt” even the new harbour at “Stettin”.
Alongside the “Kaiser-Wilhelm-Kanal” (with AutoPlotCourse) new bridges were built up, realistically operating sluices and further objects (e.g. Area Holtenau, near Kiel) are now available.
Moreover the harbour of Lerwick (Shetlands) was newly built; Salamis in the Mediterranean Sea is now available as a base for the U-Boats and St. Nazaire too received sluice-gates.

The following partly well known and developed MODs from V4, as well as new AdditionalMOD’s, are available in LSH3 V5:
LSH3_V5__Bunkerstart
LSH3_V5__Dunkles-Erkennungshandbuch
LSH3_V5__ExtendedChallenge
LSH3_V5__FunkLeicht
LSH3_V5__OhneErmüdung
LSH3_V5__Rotating-DF-Antenna
LSH3_V5__Single-Multi-Player-Missionen
LSH3_V5_GUI_Multi-SlideOuts
LSH3_V5_GUI_OLC
LSH3_V5_GUI_Six-Dials-Simfeeling
LSH3_V5_SLS_Schiffshorn-Leuchtkugeln-Seenotsignal

LSH3 V5 is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.

The LSH3 V5 full version is available for download at www.lsh3.com !



Special Information for US DOWNLOAD’s:
Please read the Installation Manual carefully!!!
In case the download is aborted please retry!
Preferably choose the splitted version designed for slower DSL-Connection’s.
Be aware, that within the first week “the whole world” will try to download the file(s) right now.
For US downloads we especially prepared a second server. PLEASE try "Download Server 2" FIRST! See the second column of links in the download areas titled "DOWNLOAD".
Because the appliance, respectively the installation, of LSH3 in Version 5 were modified decisively, we advise to all SH3-Newbie’s and SH3-Pro’s to read the LSH3 V5-Installation Documentation FIRST, before starting a „new installation“!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Dear Rowi58,

You are the Creator and Father of LSH3 V5!
Without your courageous and unfailing dedication for LSH3, V5 would never have come off.
We hope you still will be sympathic to the team and the whole SH3-community!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The LSH-Team would like to thank all the SH3-Players for the still large interests in SH3 and for the many worthwhile Information’s and Tipp’s during the last Years! Without you even such a in-a-box-solution would have been infeasible!

LSH3 Support: Here at this Forum or via: team@lsh3.com


Regards
Blueduck

Hello SeaWolf,

as far as I can say until now it works fine.
Me and Bertl01 are doing the tests with Windows7 (32/64 bit).

Though there will be some rules you'll have to follow.
We will describe them in the manuals.

Hello SeaWolf,

for sure the OLC-GUI is optional but as an activatable MOD included in the package.

There are two other GUIs:
- Six-Dials-Simfeeling
- Multi-SlideOuts
The last one is NEW! Done by Bertl01 and KretschmerU99.

Hello LSH3-Friends,

here a report on the stand of the development.

1. LSH3 V5 - Packet
LivingSilentHunter III V5 is arranged to ONE complete package.
This packet is offered in different variants for download (depending on speed of the DSL connection):
- the complete package
- the complete package split into 6 parts

2. Contents
2.1 LSH3 V5
The complete package contains the main-mod and additional mods out of these 3 GUI's.
For further information we have used the "Mouseover" function in the Jonesoft MOD-Enabler of the individual mods which gives additional information about the activation.

2.2 Tools integrated and available for installation
Furthermore 6 important additional programs are already contained for SH3:
JSGME (preinstalled!), SH3Commander, MultiSH3, SetKeys, DX9HiResFix, 4GB-Patch.

3. Compatibilitytests for Windows XP, Vista und Windows7
The tests with the additional operating systems require further time to be able to operate LSH3 V5 under stable conditions.
As far as the present stand of the tests shows, LSH3 V5 will support all three Operating-systems.

4. Quality control
Although different operating systems are existing in the team already among several members, the members carry out the tests on all available Hardware-/ OS-Combinations.
Therefore the test periods had to be extended to guarantee the high quality level we want to asure for LSH3 V5.

5. Documentation and Manuals
The manuals for LSH3 V5 and the additional MODs enclosed will be available in English and German!
The preparation of the documentations on a high quality level also requires significant time.


All the facts mentioned before have made us check and test the quality still more intensively.
At present, we plan the release date for: December 4th, 2009.

With kind regards
Blueduck
