Newb SH3, couple of questions:
 

OK, what a fine subsim this is! I couldnt figure out why it wouldnt install, then I uninstalled Macfee and BOOYAH! it works!

1. How do you adjust the visuals, ie. resolution, and things of that nature.

2. What mods are everyone using. I read that I should install GWX or something, but I'm not sure how to do that. How do you install?

3. Is there any radio to listen to broadcasts?

Thanks!

PS> I'm only using up to v1.4 patch right now and no mods.
geforce6800ultra
p 4 ht 3.6 ghz
2gb ram
win xp

Also, I forgot, do I need the vitamin crew mod?

This is the link for GWX.

No radio, but there is a grammaphone, you can put period music there, and there are some radio mods that go into the grammaphone as well. data\sound\grammaphone folder for both.

Is GWX the one stop shop? even the vitamin mod?
Any info on changing the resolution?
Thanks for the radio info.

I use the standard resolution, there is a mod\fix for a higher resolution I think, somebody I am sure will answer that.

SH Commander allows you to set fatigue a number of ways, including no fatigue, if you do not have it I suggest you get SH Commander. Should be on the link I sent.

I am sure some of the GWX folks will be around to answer any of you other
questions:yep:

many thanks!

Ensure you have deleted all SH3 files in C\MyDocs
Install a fresh/new copy of SH3
Patch to 1.4b
Create a desktop Icon
Install GWX
Install GWX v1.03 (or whatever is the latest)
Rename desktop icon to GWX or whatever
Install SH3Commander v2.7 and SH3cfg4SH3Cmdr (Highly recommended)
If you are thinking of multi installations of SH3 I would suggest you install Multi SH3 (plus a separate copy of SH3Cmdr for each installation)
Everything you need is available from my sig :up:

jimbuna,
awesome. thank you.
Right now I'm going to follow install and download instructions:
1. GWX.exe
2. GWX-1.bin
3. GWX-2.bin
4. GWX-3.bin
5. GWX-4.bin
6. GWX-5.bin
7. GWX103.exe

then install:
1. sh3commander v2.7
2. SH3cfg4SH3Cmdr


I dont know if I'll do multi intsallations of SH3, afterall, I'll only be playing the GWX and sh3commander version.

Big HOORAH! to all those involved in this. I wish there were a disk that I could buy that had everything already on it.
many, many thanks! or should I say "vielen danke!"

edit: I have only installed SH3 vanilla out of box version and the patches up to v1.4b so I dont think I need to uninstall/reinstall.

Avatar, welcome aboard and happy hunting :up:

If all you have is version 1.4b you do not need to uninstall, you are right.

Your welcome :up:
