Ty for the tip on fixing the oldest to newest threads...much better.

Well, as far as me saying SH5 is total crap, i guess i was discouraged by the performance of the sim...i went into it thinking id expect the same fps as shIV gave me. The last time i ran SHIV, i was using a 2.0ghz dual core with a decent 1gb nvidia vid card and got playable fps out of it. Now im on a quad core at 2.93ghz with a monster vid card and sh5 was a slide show as far as fps goes...so i dialed down all the video options and still not even close to playable.

the reason i bought sh3 instead of maybe going back to sh4 (although i thoroughly enjoyed sh4) was i wanted to drive u boats. And SHIII is simply the best u boat simulator ever. And it runs awesome on my system with GWX. Im talking 80+ fps (tested with fraps) on this system. And honestly, shIII with GWX doesnt look that bad compared to SH5 graphically. Im kind of sad sh5 is the way it is. I am all for furthuring this genre, but sh5 was a big disappointment for me.

I dont want to end this on a down note, i am very excited to get back to SHIII. Im happy to see this forum alive and well, and the mods keep churning out for it. To all that helped put out GWX, i applaud your efforts. Your mod is simply a work of art. And the manual almost brought tears to my eyes when i say it weighed in at over 600 pages.
