I was asked by someone on the SimHQ-TS3-server and told by CyBerkut to create a thread on this here.

The following is subject to further development and benefitial to ALL players of ALL games that portray
GERMAN U-BOOTE of WWII, i.e. which use the Deutsche Kriegsmarine Planquadrat (="grid") System

• SBS - Sub Battle Simulator
• WP - Wolfpack
• AOTD - Aces Of The Deep
• SH2 - Silent Hunter II
• SH3 - Silent Hunter III
• SH4 - Silent Hunter 4 (Atlantic Addon, Operation Monsoon and so on)
• SH5 - Silent Hunter V
• and yet many more

In fact this is one of the oldest projects that are still continued: It was started as an addon for SH3
and it just turned TEN YEARS old this year.

So maybe you want to try it?

I am its main-developer and I am hosting it on the site of our flotilla, but decided to open it for free
and for every game described above and for everyone to use and try.

If you have questions, feel free to follow the links to the 10-years-old Discussion-thread provided.
You can easily find it in THIS THREAD, under the abbreviation "S3O".
Or click on the banner up there! ENJOY!

Update on said map:

We have now completed the first 100 playable MultiPlayer Missions which are already shown on the map.
It is planned to make the SH3 MISSION ARCHIVE public in autumn/winter 2018 - when more players are active.

- for everyone to use, download and play.
- for NO charge, NO registration needed, NO donation enforced. Just FREE

... and our group is putting more missions on, you will see (only on my hardrive are >1000 mission files)

If anyone wants to take part, this is an example on how we do it (a tool helps getting everything into format):

All players can now access the new function "FIND U-BOOT" on the top right corner of the status page.

Thanks to DEF_Merlok!

A new year - and OS, one of the oldest projects for SH3 has got a new world map - directly taken from the data ingame, brushed up and KMPQ added!
Check it out and read more here: http://www.donitzeliteflotilla.com/forum/index.php?msg=3720

And report your U-Boot, Kommandant!

WOLFPACK-players can use the same client and report their status, contacts, and soon even missions!

Another update to S3O is pending. We need a JAVASCRIPT-expert, please contact me!

Here we have a "How to install Operation Spinnennetz"-video:



The tool is independent of SH3, you can use it for all games that deal with WWII U-Boote: SH5, Uboot, Wolfpack, even the old ones like AOTD and SH2
