Hi Paul, SH3 Commander isn't just a super-mod, it's a "must have". It adds new ships and layers of immersion that, together with GWX 2.1, takes the game into the stratosphere... It enables you to alter the crew fatigue "model", change TC values to suit your preferences, adds new radio messages,allows you to set patrol starting date: month/year, crew rosta...a whole bunch of stuff!
To make everything run smoothly, follow these steps...
1. Uninstall SH3 and ALL its related folders, using the default Microsoft program.
2. Double-check all files are "wiped" to make sure your hard drive is "clean".
2a. Run "defrag".
3. Re-instal Sh3.
4. Patch to 1.4.
5. Defrag hard drive again to push all related files together.
6. Download JSGME from filefront.
7. Download GWX 2.1.
8. Download and install SH3 Commander 3.1 and follow the "read me" that comes with the file.
9. Run "defrag" for same reason as before.
10. Enjoy! You now hsve a new gaming experience, and for free (thanks to all the modders out there).
Phew!
