Existing skins and mods (pre-GWX)

[3Jane]

I have seen lots of lovely skins and mods recently such as new u-boat camoflage http://files.filefront.com/IXC_Winter_Camo7z/;6127520;;/fileinfo.html and a very nice sea floor mod recently posted http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=101406&highlight=floor . Are these mods and skins compatible with GWX. Or are some or all of them already part of the GWX software. It would be a shame not to be able to use some of them.

My understanding, regarding the Sub Skins, is that you can continue to use them as is but you will not have the GWX fix's (ie IX cable fix, VIIC compass fix, IID flag pole etc) enabled.

I for one (my IXC Camo + other skins) will be releasing versions that will enable you to use these with the GWX fix's.

As soon as someone tells me how they re-packed the DAT's - LOL

If you put the textures in the textures folder the game will choose them.
