Absolutely great additions guys, keep it up.

try here for a dual install

Hate to crash into the Party but I've just got GW sorted and ready to start a Career then I saw the upgrade stuff in this thread and it's wow ! Would it be better to stall the Career until the upgrade; what would happen if you upgrade after starting a Career (I want to avoid another nightmare like I had last weekend !).

I also agree with 'Bigboywooly' about the 'realism' thing..realism is interpretation by the individual.

Whenever you install/add or change something in a running campain, make sure you're in port first!

Well said. No one is going to get in trouble for stating their opinions as long as they try to be reasonably civil.

What is "reasonably civil"? It's a grey area but will be interpreted on a case by case basis. How else can it be done?

I would start your career
We dont know when GW2 is available so dont miss out and start your career now
You can always install the new one you are in port and carry on your career
Or run both

WOW, Thanks for the information I have reviewed the diffrent sugestions you all have made and I plan on getting my mod installed sometime this weekend. I had a carrer going, made it to June 1940, and then my computer died. So I upgraded to 2 gig machine with 2 gigs memory and a new 256meg video card. The game loads fast and looks better than ever. I will post what I think of the mod I chose and I like the preview for TGW II.

Thanks
Mark

Just to manage expectations - it will be a little while yet. So yes, pls don't hold off d/l, installing and playing GW1.1a.

The screenshots i posted was an early alpha. In otherwords, not representative of the final product. Changes were/ have been/ will continue to be made until its done. The DD in question isnt suffering damage by ramming, its suffering damage because the other DD's in the area were trying to shell ME, and he being right on me, just happen to be in the way. Was the darndest thing i ever saw, i was laughing so hard i was in stitches.
