After a lot of trolling, I think the answer is, yes the naval combat pack version of SC is 1.08 but if one is going to think about using SCU and SCX mods, the naval combat pack version of SC does now work well with SCU and SCX. Am I on the right track? It is a bit of a catch 22, the original disc version 1.00 patched to 1.08 has the flickering problem but works well with SCU/SCX yet the NCP version solves the flickering problem but does not like SCU/SCX....lol. Life wasnt meant to be easy.
