GWX3 Gold for Silent Hunter 3 - Full Download

New Features
You may very well play for years and not see everything we have changed! This final release for SH3 gives you ALL the hundreds of features and fixes from previous GWX versions in one single installer - PLUS:
Environment improvements:
Environment 2.4.3 mod by 'onelifecrisis' — a MAJOR breakthrough in SH3 environmental modding! OLC was the first modder to definitively solve the horizon defect inherent in other 16km environment mods. He has also largely removed the unrealistic polygon effect from the waves present in ALL other environmental mods. In GWX 3.0 we have blended OLC's awesome mod with elements of our own work that we wanted to retain. If you're unfamiliar with OLC's Environment mod, it includes: 
New environment colours
Improved sky textures, fog, lighting and reflections.
Darker light levels at night (based on time of day, time of year and geographic location)
Visual sensors of all non-player units (ships, planes, etc.) are greatly affected by visibility levels at night — and also by your U-boat's speed and visible profile. These changes mean that surface attacks are very much a possibility early in the war (pre-radar)
Visual sensors of all non-player units are also affected by the unit's veterancy (i.e. competence level of the crew), which increases as the war progresses.
Many other environment and lighting fixes.
The new environment mod in GWX3 contains the following small fixes and adjustments by 'Ref' and 'Kpt. Lehmann': 
Restored moon reflections
Set water opacity to GWX default
