I just completed a fresh installation of SH3, 1.4b cracked and GWX 3.0 Gold, no mods installed whatsoever. Running naval academy\navigation\training, from the F4 view (on the bridge) I clearly hear the diesels. I command "all stop" the diesel noise stops and all that can be heard is a gentle lapping of the waves. Command "ahead 1/3" the diesel noise returns. So what choices are we left with for the reason you can't hear the diesels? If the GWX team had commented out the diesel noise I would not hear it. Exclusive to your copy? I'm not buying that, sorry. If it's not your hardware/software then it's a corrupt installation. If it was me I would re-download the GWX files, run the Jonesoft MD5Mate to verify the files, then perform a full clean installation of SH3/GWX. If that doesn't fix it I'd be back to thinking hardware/system software. Btw, I just tried running plain vanilla full stock SH3 in naval academy\navigation\training. The diesel sound is there, but it is clearly more distinct, fuller, in GWX. The diesel noise stops and returns when I tell it to. Hardware, corruption or some incompatibility with your software, could there be another choice? There are a lot of people running GWX on Win7 without a problem. Personally, I'm still using Vista, problem free.
