Hands up those who are still playing and keen?

I am.

I just reinstalled after 6 months of having it sitting on my shelf.

I was one of those with SF problems(hosed burning software, toshiba DVD would install but not read the copy protection) Saw a thread, found a solution, sad way to finally play something you paid good money for

(BTW) there is a thread at Subsim about the possiblity of R/W drives having their firmware overwritten by --something--. Someone was talking with a Plextor rep about his drive failure and what they found. I flashed my drives(plextor) just in case(there was an update for 1 anyway)

still play some.. not sure how keen tho

Once in while just to keep up on the keystrokes. Winter's a coming & so will the indoor time & that's when we'll venture more into the action.
Oh by the way, for those with Nvidia cards, the new 81.87 drivers, even though they're betta, work real well in this sim. This is with our 6800GT/256 card but your milage may vary.

FWIW,
Good Hunting!

I'm still playing.

Still playing. Just last night I continued on my twenty second mission and sunk 3 small merchant ships on my way to the American east coast. Man, that's a long haul (even with time compression) because you can't go very fast or you'll use up too much fuel (fuel I need for flanking maneuvers). Anyway, I intend to see this campaign all the way through to the end of the war . . . and then I'll start another one.

I must say, even though there are alot of great mods out there I am finding this game to be excellent straight out of the box with the latest patch.

Same here Kail, loving the game now too!

Me!
