GWX Skin Pack File

fly999 · 04-25-07, 10:19 AM

HI Guys,

After Installing GXW 1.3 I had a read through the manual and saw that the gwx guys recommended the GWX Skin Pack ,

Followed the link to filefront and downloaded it.

So I have a single file 164mb in size but no readme.

Is this file usable and if so where does it go ?

I also have the latest sh3commander , not yet Installed,
Am I right in thinking that the skin file goes in one of its folders ?
Are the two compatible ?

Thanks Guys,
PS: I got into sub sims by chance (flight sims since 1999) after playing this I may never go back !

Just extract the archive then copy the date folder in the skin pack and paste it over the date folder in SH3Cmdr's program folder. It should be about 1.6GB unpacked.

Make sure that SH3C is rolled back & that you are in port.

EDIT - On the off chance that you don't have it, you need 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) It's free and handles all formats of archive.

I surprised Pen.

The GWX Skin packs adds date based historical skins to all merchants, destroyers, escorts & battleships.

Give me a mo and I'll find the proper thread.

Thanks for the info Dan but that's way too big, don't think I'll knock myself out to D/L it. Thanks anyway.
