I have GWX 2.0 with light harbour traffic and some other mods but they are graphical in nature.

Hi Storabrun,
The situation to which you refer is conclusive evidence that you have a file conflict. This occurs when the base coordinates in the Flotilla.cfg are different in comparison to the base coordinates in the LND file.
The most likely causes are:
a) Loading a save file from a previous version of GWX
b) Failing to completely remove residual files from previous installations of SH3
c) Incompatible or incomplete mod installation (However inadvertant it may be.)
Secondarily, given the above situation, you should also assume that other files in your installation are also suspect/corrupt/incorrect.
As unfortunate and as aggravating as it may be, the only way to cure the situation is to reinstall SH3+GWX 2.0 from scratch
after paying special attention to the removal process.
First, completely uninstall SH3
USING THE GAME DISK... then visit your Program Files/Ubisoft/SilentHunterIII directory and delete all remaining GWX material. (There should be a fair bit of it as the GWX mod is over 1 gigabyte expanded.)
Then REBOOT your system before initializing the installation process again. You must follow the directions in the "Getting Started" section of the GWX manual to the letter.
I wish the answer was a more pleasant one for you, Storabrun. However a moment's pain now, will save you loads of frustration later.

Dreamer, what you've described is also evidence that you now have a "mixed" installation. This would be especially true if you attempted to apply GWX 2.0 directly over the top of GWX 1.03 instead of placing GWX 2.0 one a brand new clean installation of SH3 patch to version 1.4b. As a result, rolling back to verision 1.03 would be equally difficult as completing an accurate installation of GWX 2.0.
Unfortunately, my advice to you is the same as to Storabrun.
