I want what Silverleaf has got!!

[She-Wolf]

having just seen Silverleaf's post of 13th December 'warm hello and kind thankyou', I am consumed - consumed I tell you - with jealousy because what is being described there does not match with any of my experiences in GWX 2

I want to see leaves floating on the water!

I want to see wrecks lying on the seafloor! (apart from the ones I put there in the current patrol that is)

Hmph... clearly something is wrong.

I could look with suspicion at my graphics cards I suppose in regard to fine detail. Despite having two Geforce 7600 cards bridged,with SLI enabled, and nHancer tweaks, I am not entirely happy with the results, especially at night, when the clouds appear like flat blobs of thin colour painted on the background.

In the day when under water the screen clearly shows objects such as the sub itself or the anti-sub nets and walls of harbours, but the water otherwise appears as horizontal bands of murky colour. The sea bottom is even with flat patches of colour here and there, meant to be seaweed I suppose. I can live with unadorned seabed as a necessary limitation of the game - but I would like to see through the water!

Grumble, grumble..

Maybe it is because I do not have SH3Commander installed?

To correct that, I have downloaded the latest version and have parked it in its own folder in the game folder - is that where it should be?

I have had it before - long back, and cannot remember if I can run it from within a career or have to start again with a new career - which I am willing to do.

Or do I actually have to start RIGHT back at the beginning, with SH3 vanilla and just the patch?

Or is it simply that I do not have the right mods installed? At present all I have is Das Boot, Lifeboat and Debris and..um, oh yes, the alternate splash screen you see when you start the game.

Maybe I should run Memtest....

sulk.
