SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - Noob: how much GWX look can be taken to SH3?

Have you thought of working the other way? I.e. instead of trying to plug select features from GWX into SH3, why not take GWX and replace parts of it you don't like with stock (or stock-like) features?

I'm not certain about the changes to sensors made in GWX, but in theory there isn't really a difference in the AI between stock SH3 and GWX - because AI is hard-coded and GWX was developed without making any .exe changes. The differences in the AI, then, are due to sensor data and config files. The AI in GWX isn't "smarter", but has a different set of data available to it than the stock, causing it to behave differently. If there's so much you like about the look of GWX and AI is your main concern, working backwards from a GWX install could be a better way.
