Thanks to all! Those problems are solved now, but I got a new one...
I got the GWX installed, but when I use time compression, the game becomes very laggy, and eventually crashes to desktop (rendering my pc very slow, sometimes crashing all together). I uninstalled GWX, and am now running SH3 'vanilla' style + SH3 commander. Now I can put time compression as high as I want to. But I really want to play it with GWX. Anybody knows what's wrong here?
Another question: does the difficulty get a lot higher when playing with GWX?
And can I install GWX but edit a file so that I come across a ship more often? Because I'm just starting to learn how to play SH3, I don't want to go for max realism just yet.
And (!!) I found the community manual!!! For anybody that's interested:
