No, he was just referring to the several of us who know these things.

I've installed GWX with OLC gold and the contacts on the map now don't show up until I zoom out so much. Is this supposed to happen? Using the map to find ranges may be a bit unrealistic, but it's still the way I prefer to do it.

Edit: Nevermind, it's OLC.

Hi all,

I'm new to the SH3/4 racket - started playing after I toured U-505 in Chicago :P I've installed GWX 3.0 onto the Steam install of SH3 (Win XP SP2) with the res fix patch and all is looking great.

I have a quick query though - the 'main movie - das boot' doesn't appear to work - its enabled in JSGME but I still see the stock SH3 intro movie play after the GWX logo. I've followed the install instructions to the letter and other aspects of the mod seem to work fine (the captain america officer icons for instance). I tested the intro movie as soon as GWX 3.0 was installed onto vanilla SH3 so it can't be the fault of the res fix patch.

Any ideas? Perhaps I've missed summit obvious....

Loving the mod though - thanks!

The Das Boot movie plays in the menu screens, not at the beginning.

P.S. Welcome to SubSim!

Welcome FluxC

FluxC · 11-01-11, 04:31 PM

Ah, that'll learn me for not paying attention :P

On a side note, I wonder if something else may be amiss. After installation of GWX>res fix>SH3C(with .cfg files) I started a new career to find 500 renown and no extra text in the opening patrol mission briefing, only a patrol grid.

I have since added h.sie's sh3.exe patch including the wolfpack update. Now when I go to start a new career I see 1500 renown and GWX text about sinking test convoy at Kiel etc.

It looks as if h.sie's patch has somehow fixed a GWX feature?

Am mostly confused but not nearly as much as when I try to master manual targeting :P

Sorry guys this may be the wrong place to post but I've been nosing around for a couple of hours and can't find a more appropriate place.. Just got my SH3 10 days ago... installed a no disk fix, and upped my renoun. 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... I get as far as a note telling me my base has changed, but can't clear that message. Ok started a new carrier. Went out and on 2nd patrol in old little sub, sunk something with a green flag. Thought it was neutral. Was not any axis ship that I knew... 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.. I have to fly out and check it. How do you guys do it? Now back to my main concern. As I returned to Kiel, I was attacked by a lone German boat. 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...

WELCOME ABOARD!

If it's a brand new copy you don't need a fix. It plays without the disc right out of the box.

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.

GWX by default starts you in August 1939, one month before the war starts. All ships are neutral at that point.

You can't. At 5km you can't tell the flag in real life most of the time. You need to get closer.

I get close enough to make out the flag.

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.

What are the main differences between GWX and LSH3?

Hi Sittingwolf.

Your question is too broad and an attempt to answer here would be too involved. Should be easy enough to compare though. Just download the mod manuals for both mods and review them. It is all in there for you.

12-01-11, 05:48 PM

Thanks Kpt. Lehmann,

At least, please tell me if LSH3 is in the same way focused on realism as GWX is.
Realism on top of everything!!

I feel that GWX has the upper hand over LSH3 relating to realism.

Sink'em ALL!
