Thank you all for the welcome aboard, it's good to be back around water (coming from Vegas, I tend to get immersed in naval sims easily and enthusiastically). And thank you for telling me about JSGME--I ran a search for it on my HDD and it's still there!
Now that my new laptop is truly a beast, I plan to run SH at max settings, so anything and everything is open for me, particularly environmental or special fx mods. I have the 16km atmosphere mod for SH3, though I don't actually recall what it did, and have no water effect or weather or lighting or detailed explosion-etc mods. I remember TMO2.0/Run Silent Run Deep working well together, though I'll have to find the thread that showed how to make them work together. and while I enjoyed GWX3.0, I thought I spotted during my browse around the forums earlier that there's a 4.0 out now? Had to go to work so I couldn't investigate.
And Torp, I believe we joined Subsim around the same time, I remember seeing you in the forums! I didn't post much at all but you were pretty active. Good to see some of you are still around! I'll try to be more active in the forums this time around. haha
