My set up is similar to yours GR, but I haven't got the FM Interior mod, because I use The OLC GUI. My Commander settings are similar, but I don't have the realistic career set, or sabotage ticked. Also crush depth left as normal.

I do use the No fatigue as It saves the trouble of changing the crew round which I find a pain. I know it makes playing a bit easier but it makes life easier. Running on 100% realism except for map contacts and external camera, as I like to see the damage I have caused. So really, my realism is at 88% because of this.

Yes it sounds like we have a similar setup.

Like i said sabotage i only use at a specific time of the war. and the OLC GUI is supurb, i used to be a die hard with it though i doubt i could even remember how to use it now.

You should give random crush depth a go, creates a lot of tension during those deep evasive dives.

then again - SH3 needs little help in the tension department.

im in 1944 now... down right depressing Seems like all i encounter any more are airplanes and lone destroyers.

There is a fix to get OLC Gold MkII to work with the NewInterior mod. Another awesome GUI is the MaGUI mod which has a widescreen version as well. This also has a fix to get it to work with NewInteriors.

I'm running SH3 with GWX Gold and all is good except for one issue. What appears to be a thin gray bar just above the water on the horizon that blocks out the ships hull. The ship has to get within 3000 yards before you can properly see the hull.

What's the cause and is there a fix?
Answer: Not sure the cause but the fix is GWX - 16km Atmosphere.

What other GWX mods do you activate? Any highly recommended?

The Q-Ship mod for GWX is interesting and worth a look and No continuous 'Ship spotted' for GWX (by h.sie) mod gets rid of the watch crew continually reporting the same contact over and over which can happen on occasion.

Althouth this is not a GWX add on mod take a look at h.sie's patcher for the SH3 exec....
