SH3 Newbie Guide, FAQs, Tactics & Tips, Links, & other helpful stuff

Hi all!
Having recently bought SL3, and joined the forum – like those before me I’d just like to pay homage to those who have created various mods etc., and to those who help keep the forum running, it’s all above and beyond the call of duty!

There is just so much information here it’s hard to take it all in, Thanks!

However, also like those before me, I’ve a couple of questions before I start to wear my peaked cap backwards & play SH3 for real!!

I’ve installed GWX3 & SH3 Commander, downloaded some gramophone packs, and installed SH3Gen. I was going to download the SH3 Patrol Mod, but could someone just explain a little more on what it does and whether it is a worthwhile installation?

Finally, I read the interesting thread on Neutral ship policies and decided I wanted to change the basic.cfg file settings, but when I go to prog files>ubi>SH3>Data>cfg>basic.cfg and then try to open it, I get this message: “Windows cannot open this file”.

Am I looking in the right place?!

Many thanks in advance for any replies!
Steve.

PS Would it be worth having a “newby question” sticky to save the “newby guide and helpful stuff” sticky getting bogged down with questions like this one?!!
