GWX 3.0 RELEASED (Links here)

[Dani]

Thanx for the hint,h.sie.

[SpeedyPC]

Holy COW! now that's what I called the GWX v3.0 Holy Grail Gold Edition.

Man my eyes are popping out so hard and my jaw is dropping down and unable to speak.

Kpt. Lehmann and to all the GWX team you are KING! a 20 truck loads of Beck Beer is at the dock yard before you sail to sea and I take my hat off you guys.

I cannot speak any further GWX v3.0 Gold Edition is becoming a Holy Grail.

[Graf Paper]

Long after the accolades and acclaim wears thin
while devotion pales upon novelty's whim,

I'll sit before the screen with lights down dim,
A smile upon my face...playing this sub sim!

There is no gold or praise that can repay all of the years of devotion and hard work, the sweat and brilliance, the dedication and artistry you have put into this labor of love.

You have offered up a prize that will keep on giving for years to come, the best kind of Christmas present. The joy we all will find in playing GWX 3.0 shall be your monument and testament for SH3 that shall never crumble or tarnish.

Thank you all, Grey Wolves, for this wonderful gift!

I got SH3Commander set up on GWX 3.0 and enabled the gwx type VIIc\41 in jsgme, started a new career in SH3Commander with presets for date, flotilla and type. launched the game and took her out on patrol

all the ingame screens (patrol orders, base main screen, update screen etc) insist that i have a VIIC, but when I tried to upgrade to a VIIC/41 it said: 'you already have it!'

the 3D model is the correct VIIC/41 but of course, it would be because i enabled that model in jsgme

so what I want to know: what boat am I riding exactly?
one option is to take her down to 350 meters and see what happens, but I've seen my old trusty VIIC go off the scale and come back, so even that would not give me conclusive evidence

any suggestions?
cheers

Oh man this brought back some bad memories. When I first added to SH3Cmdr the ability to start careers with any U-boat type, I couldn't for the life of me figure out why the VIIC/41 and IXC/40 wouldn't "take". I only ever got the VIIC or IXC...or so I thought. I eventually figured out, after much hair pulling, that I *was* getting the right U-boat, but SH3 just didn't make it obvious. IIRC the only way to tell for sure is to go to the U-boat upgrade screen and look, much like you have done.

Let me get this correct as I'm just a simple sailor.

To upgrade from GWX 2.1 to what looks like an excellent 3.0 version, there are some 8 files (bins?) totalling around 1.5GB and taking "x" hours even on Broadband.

Also available are "Torrent Files" and "Seed Files".

• What are they?
• What does this mean?
• How do you do it?
• What are the pro's and con's of this versus Broadband?

Advice requested please.
Thanks.

Harry

Go here:

And get the GWX 3 Gold.
It's a single file install.
Download it when your ready to go to bed.
It will be waiting in the morning that way.

Mini fridge.....Sheer luxury....!!

To create a realistic environment for SH3 one must play in darkness in the broom cupboard under the stairs, with a bucket of diesel in one corner, last week's sweaty sports gear strewn about in the other, a bacon sarnie in hand and a tot of pussers rum handy..!!

Harry

Never had pussers rum.
Now Bundy Rum?

Pusser's rum was the old Royal Navy stuff phased out in 1971.
Some enterprising souls in UK got the receipe (West Indian/South African origins) and now retail it. I got some in an LA liquor barn earlier this year and it tastes the same as the "original" tot we got as submariners. It was supposed to be a 50:50 mix with water, but on P&O boats we got it often neat. The spare water went on our monthly shower..!! The coxswain was a real gent..!!

Harry

Yes,
I've heard of pussers rum.
Just never had any.

Bundy Rum was brought back to me by an Uncle that travels.
Good stuff that!!

[StandingCow]

Holy crap I might have to break out SH3 again!

ok so while the text says my boat is a type VIIC, I can not upgrade to VIIC/41 because it then says 'you already have it!'

that coupled with the fact that she goes to 300 meters without problems means that it's a type VIIC/41, correct?

oh and the randomly assigned designation is U-293 which historically was a VIIC/41

all sorted, i guess

thanks

I still manage to get the odd bottle sent to me via friends down Pompey:

A portion of all profits now go to the Royal Navy 'Tot Fund' to help provide amenities for serving personnel.

The rum Privateer makes reference to....Bundaberg:



Very nice...I brought a bottle of OP back from the SS Meet in Texas in Oct given to me by my mate Tarjak.

end of answers. Good luck.

I have not understood for what it's necessary to do all it ...
When enough to change parametres of FreeCamera ...
and in particular AngularAngle ... in stock 75° ---> in GWX 45° ...
and there will be practically identical result ... without titanic work

Note: i have ATI R9800 Pro ...
...
and look old shots:
