Changing skins mid-patrol?

Thanks Danlisa, I hear what you're saying. Maybe I'll be patient and get back to Lorient before sprucing up. Ironic really as I want to have a more weathered appearance (the boat that is, I'm weathered enough).

Thanks for the advice.

EDIT: Ahhhhh, that's not the knid of look I had in mind. Too much lippy!

Sorry for the plug.:rotfl::rotfl:

As far as changing graphics mid-patrol it's certainly do-able but I would test it out on a second install first to find any pit falls.

I have frequently changed my skins while on patrol but I have backups and it only takes me 5mins (approx) to restore my version of SH3/GWX to default. So it's no great issue if I cause problems.

Good hunting Kaleun.

Wow, thanks Dan. Have downloaded and will probably risk applying later! I'm only at the 'end' of a rather strange first patrol in my IX (95k tons inc. 55k tons of neutral tankers

) but have re-supplied at the Corrientes and set out for more mayhem. If I loose it all I would not mind too much as it would allow me to avoid trigger-happiness second time out!

EDIT What a relief, my Bangkok experience is at an end!
