Hello JScones, and thanks for your reply.

actually you're right assuming that I'm not using SH3 Commander when I *don't* need it, and of course rolling back SH3 is a *MUST* to play the game without having SH3 Commander affecting the game configuration files.

sometimes I even re-code my .cfg files for SH3 to meet a specific needs I require in the game "but this is of course will be in a different game installation folder".

and I also have many installation folders for the game. "4 of them" it's not that I'm wasting storage space I have on my H.D.'s but, it's just that I love this game "maybe it's due to my natural love to the Sea".

I used to re-code my Half-Life˛ files, and my best practice was with Counter-Strike Source, so I'm kinda familiar with the architicture of the .CFG files, for either re-coding the game or even managing your server's Plugins "IE. Mani Admin Plugin, AMX, etc." and I noticed that playing around with SH3 configuration files is quite a Joy, and the idea started when I saw some programs already Automating the Manual processes you go through on re-configuring your cfg files and so on. and it was like trial and error learning you know, until I started to put my hands on the basics, and to know when my game will crash to desk top in case I did something wrong, and so I rollback my changes and study this that happened, and most of the times I found out that NUMBERS are the Main Key element in SH3 Configuration Process.

My PC Spec. "in simple words" are:

Processor: 3.0 - Cash 1024
Memory: 2 GB Dual Channel - BUS 400 MHz.
3D Card: ATI Radeon® X1900 XT 256- PCI EX™
MainBoard: ABIT - 945

Resources is true, but for what I know about my in-background-working applications and my Hardware Specifications, I would surely say that I have like 90-95% of my PC Resources Free and so that makes me go nuts LOL. and of course talking about Spyware threats is not applicable to my case since as I assume, well protected against them with McAfee Antivirus Enterprise 8.0i Updated and Spyware doctor also fully updated.

*when I play any game that I know that it's a resources sucker, I stop the McAfee and spyware doctor since both of them are resources hungy.

the main problem now is my Saving problem.

I tried saving after 50KM as VonHelsching said, and I loaded back and it was fine, but that was already fine, because as I said in my first post. just before encountering anything yet in the game. but after going in battle with anything and SAVE, I can't load ever. and if I did load it'll just tell me that I abandoned my career.....!!!!!

I'm sorry if it seems to many of you that it's a wierd problem, and I could have contacted UBISOFT about it, but actually I did informe them of the situation, but yet no solution has been given.

thanks JScones for your help, and please buddy if you got any ideas on maybe how to fix that saving and loading thing, please drop me a line.

but Von, how harder you're talking about?

I'll tell you this.... I went to the Academy to practic before the exam, and anyways, aircrafts "10 of them" started to come, so I gave the orders to the flak gunner to open fire on any aircraft "bombers and fighters" and guess what?

with TC set to 512 and for about 20 Minutes Real Time, I didnt scratch one aircraft, and so needless to say that I even got one down... so I started to handle my stuff manually, so I graped the fla
k gun and started being real crazy for about the same time with all the good background I have from being a FPS type Player and also putting in mind how to aim "like sometimes you have to aim away from the target but just due to the distance and air speed and so on, it'll hit it. I put that all in mind, and still couldnt get a scratch on one of those aircrafts.. LOL

and what you're saying about the ships, is true and sorry that I didnt remember this from reading the readme file for the GW, but what I noticed Von is that it's even hard to aim for the water line for the ship and get it easily. I mean that even the water line aiming spot is also got harders and kinda complicated "even with aiming for the water line under the engine room". but I like it and I dont take it as a disadvantage point.

thanks again buddy, and please if you find out anything about the saving and loading thing I'm posting about, just let me know, and if you tried out the Naval academy "the flak" and found something like what I'm talking about, them please let me know why it's happening, or if you already have it quite fine, then maybe I just need to buy a new game .

thanks all, and waiting for any solution you might have.

Peace...Out..
