GWX and SH3 Commander are separate programs. The GWX icon is there because it installs with GWX. If you want you can always start with the GWX icon, but Commander will be ignored. If you want to use Commander you have to start with the Commander icon. Commander will set up its files and then start SH3/GWX for you.

2- Because the instructions say to ALWAYS start the game from the SH3 Commander ICON.

I hope my previous comment explained it adequately. If not just say so. Between us we'll get you straightened out.

3- As a test I quickly created a profile in Commander and launched SH3 but my renown is still at 500 instead of the 1500 mentioned in the instructions.

To gain the 1500 renown you have to complete the Training Academy missions, at least in stock SH3. With GWX the missions are harder, but you only have to complete the first Navigation Course, which is very easy. The best news is that you only have to do this once, and from then on every new career will automatically have the extra renown.

4- I haven't done anything with the JSGME ICON yet except to note that there are about 20 preloaded MODS in it. Do I need one of those to get an increase in renown.?
|
No. The only thing you need to do is complete the first Training Mission.

5- And actually the amount of renown is not really the issue. I just want to be able to determine if GWX3 GOLD is actually making a noticeable and improved different on it's own or is it strictly driven by mods that I must locate and install via JSGME?

GWX all by itself will make a vast difference from the stock game. The extra mods are different improvements that you can try. Some players enjoy one and some enjoy others. They're there for you to try if you want. JSGME makes it easy to remove them again if you don't want them.
