@ JB

Incidentally, do you still have your gramophone files kicking about somewhere?? Had a look at your GWX Filefront page but didn't see them. Thought I had them burned to disc from a couple of years ago, but can't find them.

Bump.............


Also - what's the difference between manual targeting and no weapon officer?

A near two year thread bump......the shame :oops: Thought I'd keep the daft questions in one place.

Felt like my first sail for QUITE a while. Can't remember which order to install everything in though. Can someone confirm/correct this for me please??

Clean install of SH3 1.4b > GWX3 Gold exe > Commander 3.2 > what do I do with Commmander config 1.2 files??

:06:

Sounds correct to me. The Commander files should go into their proper directories in the commander folder.

Looking at widescreen offerings I've seen someone refer to a 'GUI GWX Classic' which renders 1360x768.

Is this the 'WideScreen GUI for GWX3.0&StockSh3' by Rubini? Or is it another that I can't find??

Thanks folks.

I feel like a sail after a while away (why do I keep coming back to this game?!LOL).

I've always found GWX too hard if I'm honest :oops: Think this time I won't bother with any super mods and add a few mods to vanilla. I think h.sies hardcode fixes, Stieblers add-on patch and iambecomelifes merchant fleet mods would all be a good idea.

Any other 'critical' mods I should look at for vanilla to cure it's worst woes?

Just finished first patrol.

Surprised to only get the one the medal - I was expecting the freedom of Berlin to be honest...............

On my third patrol I discovered the wonder that is the night convoy attack and an UZO :ping: Why have I never tried this before?!

However, I also discovered it's unwise to leave the deck gun manned with a fire at will command when returning to port :oops:

I'm currently playing the game from a Steam download but I want to get a hard copy. Are any of these two editions better to have than the other, for any reason, or are they both just the same? Thanks folks.

The 'Focus' version on the right, already patched and no requirement for cd to be used on each load-up.

Roger that Jim :up:

EDIT: On it's way. £3.30 including postage! Sink 'em all.............

Jimbuna,
I have the "Focus" edition of SH3, and the file version on initial installation, shows as version 1.0.0.1. , which is the unpatched version.
The cover is exactly as per the screenshot by Nerazzurri.
Could be more than one version marketed by Focus Multimedia Ltd, which coincidentally are only approx. 10 mile from where I live.

There may be more than one version as you say then.

Here is a link to another of my SH3 discs, this one by Revival:

The Focus version is actually the same as my previous hard copy (which I think went AWOL in a house move, hence the Steam version) and it was definitely patched. So there must be different editions of it right enough.
