IIRC it also increases the AI spotting capability although you should almost always see them before they see you under 1xTC.

Are you talking about GWX? Cos I find their night vision in 16km to be on par, relatively speaking, with 8km i.e. they can spot things at about 8km on a clear night with the 16km modlet installed, whereas from what I've read, it's about 4km when using 8km visibility.

How do I install this with GWX? They said it can be enabled with another program but im not sure how that works. Can someone explain the process please?

This mod absolutely kills my CPU. Any external views crawl to an absolute halt and make the game essentially unplayable.

Can I adjust any of the in-game graphics settings to get this to work? I don't mind extra load times, but I do want to be able to play when it's loaded.

I've got 1 GB of RAM, 2.8 GHz CPU, and am running a 128 MB video card.

Do I just need to suck it up and get a better graphics card?

What video card is it exactly? The memory size doesnt say much about the card itself. There are mant great cards out there that still have 256mb or 512mb but most recent cards have 256 or more. I am guessing that your video card is old and needs to be replaced. The rest of the system is ok. I ran 16km mod with TGW 1.1a on my 2.0g with a low end ati x1300 at playable fps (30ish).

If you're using SH3 Commander, be sure to ROLLBACK first.

Then go into your SH3 folder and run JSGME. That will allow you to install and run certain GWX mods.

Ouch. On board video? That would be the problem. Even a low end card would help. That is an AGP system im assuming?
