So I've made the switch from GWX and have been supremely impressed thus far. Lots of great work put into this mod and I'm loving it.

I'm with you on that. I don't see the attraction of GWX. Almost every time I see someone having problems with this, or that, it's GWX. They show a mod list with about 30 mods. To be the so-called 'best mod', you sure have to add a lot of other mods to improve it.
I love NYGM. The only thing I would like to see changed would be to add the Wilhelmshaven from WAC to it.

Many people do, it's a matter of taste and the great thing is to have options to choose from

After GWX Gold the mod did not get any further development. At the time, it was the most complete mod around regarding everything integrated on it, and worked like an atomic clock. Of course with a mod soup of 30+ things you are bound for trouble.

But yeah, I personally also tend to favour NYGM's flavour, though I use GWX for some Mediterranean/Black Sea/Indian Ocean patrols sometimes. The content added there is unsurpassing, and since I almost only add my own GUI I don't have any problems.

I spent about 2 years playing GWX. I quickly realized i was spending more time trying to get my mod soup to play nice than actually patrolling. Then I streamlined my setup and enjoyed the game play. I definitely love the amount of content.

I'm currently running a VII and IX career with NYGM and I'm loving it. The feel of the game play is outstanding. Cheers to the team and thank you for the hours of gametime to come!

Huge fan of the GUI, Hitman. My thanks to you as well!

Hello. I'm still playing GWX 3.0 and need something fresh.
Please tell me why NYGM is better than GWX ? All the advantages...
Is it possible to run NYGM in widescreen mode 16:9 ?
Maybe it's time to change and try something new ?

AFAIK, GWX was geared for visual presentation, whereas Your Grandmother 'talks to you straight down the line'. Don't they always :-)

It's difficult now to differentiate amongst the MODs as they've mostly incorporated each others ideas. NYGM has always been geared for 'realism' over 'visual arts'. I never ventured out of the NYGM compound so cannot give a true perspective, but I've always been happy with NYGM... it's a challenge.

Is it possible to run NYGM in widescreen mode 16:9 ?

Yes.. find the MacGui Widescreen mod. I think GWX might have copied from his idea.

NYGM is the best mod with you will play for SHIII, is true that graphically is not much, but it is certainly the most realistic of all, the experience of playing a campaign with it's magnificent.

If you decide to start a campaign with this mod you must change your thinking. Your order will be above survive anything, destroyers and corvettes are ruthless ... If you are located ... run and do not stop running

goog luck, you will need

Thank you very much for all the compliments, gentlemen above.

I like NYGM too!

Just my two cents worth, but I find GWX a little “brighter” in atmosphere, a little more fun. NYGM seems more serious. In GWX, I go out to bag some tonnage, to test my skills. In NYGM, I go out to survive! In GWX, I can enjoy the graphics, the sound, the built-in gee-whiz toys. In NYGM, I’m there to fight. In GWX, if I’m canny and lucky, I just might survive the war. In NYGM, I know the odds are stacked way, way against me and there will be no nach dem krieg.

Both games are good and pretty realistic. But IMO, GWX leans just that little bit toward shoot-em-up, toward personal score and an enjoyable experience. NYGM leans more toward grim reality.

But I’m a reality freak. I prefer NYGM. To me, it just feels the way I think it should. I still play GWX from time to time. But NYGM is my favorite. YMMV.

The download is free, and only about a quarter the size of GWX. You can make a copy of your game folder, so you don't have to disrupt what you have going now. Why not just try it and see for yourself how it looks, feels, and plays. That will tell you much more than any vid clip.

[Stiebler]

Thank you for those kind words about NYGM, all those contributors above.

So far as switching from one super-mod to another is concerned:
I would always advise renaming your existing SH3 folder folder found in 'My Documents'. For example, if you were playing GWX, rename the folder My Documents\SH3 to My Documents\SH3_GWX. Then you can return to it at a later date, if required.

This has the result that the NYGM installation (or any other new super-mod) will create a new folder My Documents\SH3, so there is no danger of contamination of files causing problems with the new super-mod. If you wish to return to GWX (in this example), just delete My Documents\SH3 and rename My Documents\SH3_GWX to My Documents\SH3.

It will be necessary to have two different installations of SH3, of course. That means a second installation of your SH3 DVD-ROM into a folder different from the original. Do NOT install the game into C:\program files! Always causes more trouble than it is worth.
