Glad you like it PappyCain.

A whole lot of people worked really hard for long time to get GWX to where it is now... and I think the level of care put into it speaks for itself. (We had a lot of external contributors too that built or modded bits that may have disappeared over time... but are still included in GWX for everyone to enjoy.)

Stepping outside of myself for a moment here... even though I started the project...

... there are STILL things that just stun me every time I sail out in GWX.

Every single time I go out... it is different from the last. All the work on random and/or changing things by in-game date makes it seem to be alive.

For those that are brave enough to sail in late-war waters... GWX has a whole new set of sights and sounds....

Air raid sirens and spotlights at night STILL raise my heart-rate a bit... and just watching the bombers come in just feels desperate... and the vacuum left when they've gone... with the odd ship burning... and the wrecks from previous raids visible from place to place...

I still feel it to be a true statement that 'you could play SH3 with GWX for YEARS and still see and experience things that just blow your socks off.'

Most days, it just seems like a mountain of work that we managed to complete... but I gotta say that I'm really quite proud of what we've all done at times.

Simply put "Gwx - Crack for Kaleuns!"

I can't say I've ever heard it described quite like that.

He he! Funny I keep coming back for more too. My name is TarJak and I'm an addict...

Yes all who have worked on should be very proud. I have been a sim pilot since the late 90's and ran AOD sim for years and the work done here is amazing. Newbies cannot fathom I am sure the staggering amount of work and manhours. Next time I am in Houston I will buy ya a few rounds. I was in the UK 2 weeks ago and came into Portsmouth at night and had the same experience in RL . Matter of fact I had many nights pulling into port at that hour and this new Gold version pulled me in. I will be in Scotland at Scapa Flow and in Germany this fall.

So back here on the coast I am thinking of bottling North Atlantic sea air, sea water, some T shirts with diesel and grease and sending them out to fellow addicts. Will come in a case with a hammer to break and open when in a panic. We have to develop a 12 step program to manage our real lives (and maintain).

TarJack, one of my mates found the HMAS Sydney II and Kormoran which made some news down there eh?

Cool! I read about that and saw it on the telly a few months ago. Was a great story about how it was found and how the pieced together what must have happened.

It still hasn't ended all speculation about the sinking of the Sydney but then anything that has a 60 year gap in first hand knowledge is sure to be hard for some to accept even when shown evidence.

"American Medical Association has split on whether excessive playing of video games—which affects about 10 percent of players—can be considered an addiction. At a June AMA meeting, some doctors compared too much game playing to alcoholism, suggesting that just like alcoholics, hooked players experience denial, rationalization, and the inability to give up the activity. Other doctors however, saw no evidence linking video games to addiction and said those who play excessively may simply have compulsive personalities."

BE AGGRESSIVE!
