Returning to SH3

HI All

I realise that this must be an all to common question but after an extensive search I still need some veteran advice.

I'm currently back playing SH5 - TWOS and really enjoying it . It has certainly come a long way way from the awful botched release (thanks to dedicated community Modders) however I still have fond, fond memories of SH3. Again thanks to the mod community, SH3 has advanced considerable since I the last time I played it and therein lies my questions...........

..... I plan to install a fresh patched, Starforce free version with Gwx v3. In addition I was planning on using this list (from Wolfpack vid - ) as a mod soup.

1) I think some of the mods below are already updated (MEP) so will be installing the new version. However have a missed anything important?
2)Any further recommendations? I have a good high spec PC and like realism / fun (90% ish)
3)Does this order look ok?

I can't help with that particular setup, because mine is completely different. I would offer one warning, though. If you simply install all those mods and start playing you're almost sure to be back here in no time asking what's wrong.

Or, as I put it in my own "Starting Over" thread...

Thanks Steve.

I agree 100%. I always load MODS in Step by Step - many years of modding Flight sims and various other games / Night spent pulling hair out taught me that hahah

Ok after much downloading and installing / testing I am set up with the following (inc SH3 Commander of course).

Looks like a very nice, simple, layout. I may very well use this list myself.
