hi guys thanks for the feedback. the game is now playable, no longer stutters to death at 1024 compression midway into the ocean from port.

i used the suggested lite harbor mods and certain sea areas only, north atlantic/sea since i'm doing campaign in wilhemsomethingorover(the port you don't have to go through a maze to get out of) obviously i think my ram/cpu is low in order to run this mod. i can run vanilla sh3 full everything with hardly any problem, the occasional minor stutter at 1024 compression. the problem i think is from the number of boats running around. unlike other games i've modded this is a superpack and i dont have the option to add piece at a time unless i start my own modded version of sh3 combining mods from this site. is that worth doing? some of the extras in gwx are unnecessary to me(mainly the big ports, whilst realistic and iwould enjoy, but with fps issues and loadtimes, i'd rather have less load times,more fps, than a massive port)

the parts i like from gwx

the amount of missions
the new graphics
other ally boats about, don't think i'd seen a german uboat other than my own before.
the new layouts
the new sounds, something about villainous german accents

things i don't like

when using 1024 compression to get near my patrol point the time drops constantly because of a friendly boat every 2 seconds,its nice to see a more realistic world with boats other than my own but is there a way to remove this for friendly boats when time accelerating on the navi map, is there a shortcut key so i dont have to click + many times to get back to 1024. most of my playing time suffers this problem.
the fact i did two patrols, one of which was all the way to bf10 which isn't even there lol, didnt see one single enemy boat. where are they! in stock i could find some and had to travel less distance.
the fact that there is a picture of the french coffee shop girl from das boot on my desk :p

anyway i feel some more slight tinkering would make this perfect. i'm a bit upset about my graphics card being to blame, since when i'm looking at the games graphics there is not a problem, its the bleeding navi map and time compression.
