Hi all,

Getting back into SHIII, mainly due to the GWX mod.

Everything is running fine, but I have a couple of questions:

1) My harddrive seems to get thrashed when I try to do even simple things like move an officer from crew quarters to an engineering section. Is this normal with GWX? What I mean is that I move the icon, and then there is a 4-5 second pause while my hard drive is *very* busy, then all is well. THis is just an example, it happens at other times as well. I just want to knwo if this is normal, or if I may have messed something up.

I have 1GB of RAM and a 2.4 GHz P4. I also have a new graphics card with 512 on it.

2) Can one still use things like the protractor mod on the Course plotting cursor? I was really used to this in my previous installation of SHIII. I kind of miss it. Also can I use one the nomograph options that will place it on the chart. I also had become quite attached to that.

I am still reading up on the GWX manual. Mostly the mechanics for now, but the history parts that I have read are excellent.

I wanted to put the 3dwaves mod on, but since my system seems to be struggling a bit at this point with somthing, I don't think I will add more to the load right now.

Thanks
