first of many

1. running GWX2.0 and wondering what folder I should put SHCdr in? Went with the default location out of SH3/GWX and shcdr loaded the default SH3.

2. is the 16k mod realistic? i saw the default setting at 8k.

thnks

Are you playing with multiple installs of SH3? I ask because with GWX2 installed I no longer have any 'default' SH3. Anyway, SH3 Commander shouldn't go in any folder; when you run the installer it creates its own folder in Program Files, with an icon to the desktop.

And yes, 16k is realistic. The horizon is about 8km away, but taller objects are easily visible at much greater distances. Also, it's nice on a clear day to have the lookout tell you he's seen a ship, and when you look all you see is a thin column of smoke in the distance.

thanks for the info.
yes, i do have multi-installs. sh3cdr is looking at the default sh3. i think.

This is what you need to do for multiple installations http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...28&postcount=2

Well i'm able to get to gwx thru sh3cdr but i have direct the path manually.

here's my target command line:

"C:\Program Files\SH3 Commander\SH3Cmdr.exe" /l:"C:/Program Files/Ubisoft/SH3 GWX
