I just read the GWX manual, or at least the first 100 pagers or so and I don't think I am even using GWX in the game! I read where I should have started with 1500 renown and I only have 500 at the start. And most displays, but not all, look like stock SH3 so I am confused as to whether or not I am even getting the benefits of GWX.

After installing the downloads I have four new ICONS on the desktop, GWX3 Manual, JSGME, Silent Hunter with GWX 3.0 and SH3 Commander.
I read that I am suppose to use the SH3 Commander ICON to launch the game, which I do.


Am I missing a step? I haven't even used the remaining ICONS at all( I accessed the Manual directly from the folder). There are so many warnings in the manual associated with GWX and Commander that I am afraid to experiment with anything.

Any push in the right direction would be appreciated. I'm 65 years old so please have a little mercy on me. I searched for some answers already but nothing is clear.

Thanks,

Larry
1) Install stock sh3. Do you have sh3 as CD/DVD or from steam?

2) GWX: Pay attention to the installation path! You have to install GWX into your SH3 folder but the path first given by the installation program isn't automatically always the correct one. That is especially true when using the Steam version of SH3!!

Download GWX: (I suggest to get a torrent program like utorrent for the torrent download (it's usually faster), right side of the link !!)

3a) Install sh3 commander V3.2:

3b) After that install the offical sh3 cmd fix for GWX:

GWX3_SH3Commandercfg (right side of gwx downloads)

4) Get the newest version of JSGME from subsim/downloads! This program is there to easily manage your mods!

NOTE: GWX will automatically install an older version of JSGME with the GWX mod!

After you got the newer version of JSGME you unzip the content and copy all of it into your sh3 folder and over the older JSGME files.

(JSGME also comes with a readme file for further instructions! GWX manual page 23 "GWX OPTIONS")
