imo, i do feel that this would totally add to the imerrsion of the game. the only thing i dont feel is nice is the way you explained of exiting the game and reloading everytime you play with this mod. being that it is a wip i am aware that this could change but even doing this with sh3 commander can be annoying sometimes because of loading times and such. defintly a nice touch for the sh3 players though. is this mod going to be compatible with other "super" mods such as LSH3 5.1,GWX,WAC4.1? or maybe you could make files to incorperate into thier mods with out using SH3 com. hmm well it will be a good mod none the less so good luck and cant wait to see it in the game.
