Can't remember the thread though... :-?

I do know it meant loading Windows into RAM so everything else is totally dedicated to GWX. It did improve the performance quite a bit.

Hmmm. If you find the thread, let me know. Am curious.:hmm:

Welcome aboard Kaleun Evil Genius :arrgh!:

Gentlemen and ladies.

Where does one begin with a letter or praise?

To the entire GWX devcrew... you all have done an outstanding job turning a good sim into a simply phenomenal one.

SHIII finally has some "life" to it! Had to run the game once to set up the main.cfg file for SH3 ommander, so I took 'er out for a quick cruise.

Left Kiel in Sep 39 in a VIIB, at night. Screwed up the Kiel Canal routing, so I just puttered around a bit until I could get SH3 Commander sorted (which I have now, thanks to the above info from that Extraordinary Gentlemen himself, Herr Lehmann). Load times were a bit longish, but we already determined that would be the case, given my system's limitations. But well worth the wait! Merchants from many nations in the German harbor - as there would be, rather than the ghost harbors we've seen in stock. Fishermen gathered together in a general area, out of the shipping channel - as there would be! Aircraft patrolling overhead... a nice touch! Graf Zeppelin nearby at dockside... wow.

Lights on in the city, on the ships... this was 0100 or 1 Sep 39 - the last moments of peace in the old world, with the gravity of what would soon be happening in Poland still conjecture.

Gentlemen, simply astounding - and I've not even gone to sea yet! Trust me, there's a six pack waiting for each of you, should you make it to my neck of the woods. (Well, for those who're old enough, anyway.):cool:

Now, enough of my prattle. I've got a ship to prep!

Thanks again, all of you, for your work, and all of your help. It is sincerely, and greatly, appreciated.

Just wait, jimbuna. I've not yet gone to sea (working on a potential install problem atm) but if some of the tales I've heard are true, I may yet be cussing you guys once I get out there.:p

Good on yer Growler!:up:

my suggestion, check out Poland first :D,

give the crew a shakedown cruise and a little target practice near Gdynia.
Then if you feel like challenging GWX go through Der Kanal toward your patrol area. be early about it though or it might be a little TOO challenging :-?

Oh and do please report any errors you make based on earlier stock experience, preferably humorous fatal ones :D

My worst mistake was taking on an armed trawler with my deckgun in a type IX and getting my rudder blown off with the first shell:nope: that got me very thoroughly sunk

I am in the process of downloading the GWX files right now, and after reading so much about it, I can't wait to get to punchin' holes in the ocean. Thanks in advance to all those who made the Mod possible, I know how much hard work was involved.

I am running a Frankenstein PC, 1.6g p4, 512ram, 128mb geforce 3 ti200, so I know I will have the slow loads, and slow harbor effect, but I am not worried, as long as I can function out at sea.

I have been playing the stock SH3 for about 10 months, and thoroughly enjoying it, but I am anxious to see the new world of GWx.

Thanks for all the tips here, will save me lots of time trying to install everything properly.
