Just got my SH3 10 days ago... installed a no disk fix,
|
If it's a brand new copy you don't need a fix. It plays without the disc right out of the box.

So I see all the neat posts here and elsewere about GWX 3 and I go for it. Well I can't load any of my old saved patrols.... I assume that, that is to be expected, if not lemi know...

The GWX readme is very explicit: "Must be installed to a fresh install of SH3". To get it to work right you need to uninstall and reinstall SH3, completely removing the SH3 folder in My Documents and running a check to make sure that every trace is gone, then install GWX. Otherwise it won't work, and no, it won't work with old game saves.

sunk something with a green flag. Thought it was neutral. Was not any axis ship that I knew...
|
GWX by default starts you in August 1939, one month before the war starts. All ships are neutral at that point.

By the way if you don't use free sight or whatever it is called, how can you tell the nationality of some ship 5 km away? I can look up the type but the will not tell me the flag it is flying..
|
You can't. At 5km you can't tell the flag in real life most of the time. You need to get closer.

I have to fly out and check it. How do you guys do it?

I get close enough to make out the flag.

Now back to my main concern. As I returned to Kiel, I was attacked by a lone German at. Just surface fire capable. I figured it was a glitch or he didn't know who I was. So I just submerged. But as I entered Kiel everything including a non-maned u boat, opened fire on me. I dropped just under the water and cruised into the dock. But I can't end mission,,, it is grayed out, probably because I'm under attack, right?.. Soooo why am I under attack... Have I been identified as a rogue captain or what... thanks...

As I said, GWX starts you in August. All ships are neutral. Sink one and the whole world declares war on you for 24 hours. After that you can go home with no trouble. Options are to use SH3 Commander to set the days in base so you have a week to get to your assigned grid before the war starts, or pick a September start date.
