I'd be surprised if SH3Cmdr "overwrote your LRT" mod. The only changes SH3Cmdr makes to files that form part of the LRT mod relate to malfunction or sabotage effects (and ONLY if those options are selected by you), and are thus deliberate.

As LRT ships with the files that are modified by modders the most, viz Basic.cfg, **_menu.txt and menu_.ini, you might want to ensure that you correctly installed the mod, ie rolled back SH3Cmdr first etc, and try again. Not rolling back SH3Cmdr *before* enabling or disabling mods will create problems similar to the one you are describing.

The SH3 Commander User Guide is your friend.

Cheers - thanks for the reply. Yea - I might have been able to figure this out with more reading. I think I've blown it by installing mods without rolling back SH3 commander. It's too bad that there's no trace of Sh3 commander's changes in JSME. Like, I think I need to remove my last couple mods (LRT etc) then rollback SH3 commander, then reinstall all the mods and then run SH3 commander again (After I wipe the thermal layer section). I'm a bit horrified because I fear this might corrupt everything and my 31-patrol career might not survive the reinstall. Gasp. And if I wanted to go into SH3's files directly and push the thermal layer down really deep, I'd need to HEX-edit I suppose? If I could do this, I could just leave things as is (since it's working, with the exception of the thermal layer bit).

Anyway, sorry for noobing on the DIY component here.
