Maybe Ubi is out of the WWII SubSim market. Maybe not.
So SHO might be a way to increase interest in and draw more people to a future project?
No source nor SDK has ever been released.
No objections to what Modders do with files but alot of inclusions based on past mods and modders work and suggestions.
No major objections from modders about those inclusions or suggestions.
There is a base for co-operation between Ubi and Modders.
There's even been rumors/past examples of such a co-op.
Now, since Ubi wants/needs to make money?
And We want more Units that look as good as the base Units. (as a start)
The 3d modelers build them, send them to Ubi for conversion to GR2 format, then have the modders do the sim and other work.
The modders send them back and Ubi can make a few bucks selling an expansion pack.
Say this works out and We all stand behind it and fork out a few bucks to buy this expansion. (I know I would)
A trust may be built that could lead to some access to source that would allow the Modder programers to correct problems that Ubi is not going to correct otherwise.
Again, Ubi needs a way to make money so We buy the fixes from them.
I see it like this.......
It's that way or no way.
As someone that owns his own business?
If I don't make money? I don't do any work for you.
My Modding work is my hobby and I never make money off of it.
I'd gladly do free work for Ubi on an SH5 expansion/bug fix given a chance.
It's time to quit complaining and start makeing offers to get what We want.
All I want is a chance to help Ubi make money while I get the results that so many here want.
