I've finally been able to play Danger From The Deep, in Linux (Ubuntu 9.10 32bits), and I can say that the game has a lot of potential, but I've encountered some problems regarding changing resolution. Also, a lot of things that are present in the menu are not available in this stage of the game. But anyway, I am optimistic about the future of this project and I respect a lot what those guys are doing.

Hi everybody.
As many avid subsim player, I am tired by the behavior
of ubisoft with their SH series games.
I am following dftd since a long time, and I have to agree
with the comments made above.
However, I will attempt to give attention to the project
this way.

I will pay 200 Euros to any one who will be able to put
in a 3D, spherical world in Danger From the Deep
(as opposed to the flat world of SH 3, 4 and 5).

I will try and reach the developers on their forum too.
Those who are interested, get in touch with them.

Regards

This looks great. I would love to combine an open source sub sim with FlightGear, an open source flight sim.

Hi guys,

I've been away from this forum for a LONG time, but thought I should post this message.

I was just browsing through eBay (UK) looking for u-boat stuff and this game is being sold there - fully boxed with screenshots etc.

Here's the link:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ADVANCED-U-BOA...item35b119fdad

It says there is only 1-day remaining but no doubt other copies will appear.

I thought it was open source and not available commercially?

If this is indeed the case I'll edit/remove this post. I just thought the developers and any potential purchasers should be aware of a possible scam. I can't find a contact for the team behind the game, so hopefully they will see this message.

Cheers,

IIRC, the GNU license permits commercial sales providing the source-code is also made available. Like a lot of things on ebay, this sale isn't outright illegal, just kinda' slimy. So far no one's been dumb enough to bite.
