I was advised to install SH3 GWX 3.0 (since the SH5 TWoS doesn't work with SH5 from Ubisoft), but the links seemed to take me to something called "Living Silent Hunter 2015".

Now I am confused as to what the best route to take with SH3 because after successfully downloading LSH3 supermod, the LSH3-EDITION-2015-STARTER.EXE gives me an error saying that it can't find a valid sh3.exe when installing it -- even though the file is indeed in the correct folder.

What game/supermod combination can be installed and that actually works? I spent hours at this and getting nowhere. I am really looking to exploring sub sims again after many years away from them. Please help.

Several years ago I downloaded a map overlay that you could pull down on the navmap, and you could gain the full KM reference from it. Does anyone know if that's still around somewhere, and if it's compatible with wide-screen please?

I have a problem here, unfortunately. I'm not keen on ARB and the other version is for stock GWX. I'm currently running GWX3.0 and Conus' widescreen mod. So I'm presuming it won't be compatible? If anybody knows a solution it'd be great.

Question 2

-

Is there a crew file I could extract and save from SH3 or Commander that I could then paste somewhere for a future save, keeping the same crew?

Gavin.

Gavin,

1.) As far as I know, the Grid mod can work with most super mods as I have it in GWX, NYGM, WACS, & CCoM. I think some of them come with it already installed.

2.) Saving old crew;

Moving old crews to new boats/careers
« on: December 08, 2007, 05:30:57 AM »

The issue of moving an original crew comes up from time to time.

This is the way to do it.

-

Go to;

C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\GWX\data\cfg\Careers\Name of Kaleun

Pick the latest Crew_Career_XX from your old boat and open it in "Notepad".

Now Mark and copy all the contents in that file:

.......................etc etc etc.

Go to your new career/boat and open the latest Crew_Career_xx file.

Mark the contents and paste the one you copied from from the other career.

Close file and save.

Go to SHIII Commander and open the new career and look into the "manage your crew" and you will see the crew you wanted to move.

Thats it.

Good luck
/OB

Hope this helps.

Good hunting,
