for german side? yes please tomas....i dont know what to do without you:/

I meant the non-playable version that is in Data/Sea folder. I´ve never done a ship for german side. And probably never will, sorry.
But I can give you some advices. Most important one is, never make changes to the original ship, copy the entire folder, in this case NCL_Naka, somewhere, either to a temporary location, or better still to Data/Submarine, that´s how I do it. Then you edit this copy. This way you do not affect the game.
Best way to learn this is to compare playable ship and its non-playable counterpart, just open them in s3d. In my ships I labeled entries in *.sim, *.dsd and *.val, so you will see what connects to what.

Hi and thanks for this Keltos

I was wondering if it would be possible to use this tutorial and place more than one U class boat in a British campaign. The Brits built a few of these boats, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_U_class_submarine .

The idea would be to reflect small improvements made throughout the war to speed and depth etc.

Thanks to Keltos and Peabody

thank you Sir, this is what I have been needing to make sense of it all.

now if I can just figure out to add meshes into the game were in good shape.
jet ski mod here I come...

<edit>

I have made a TemplateMod by following this tutorial, For those of you who wish to just simply jump in
to converting/editing your new ship without having to follow this mod from scratch or would simply like to have a template
to reference to this specific tutorial for the benefit of learning how it was done, I have uploaded the mod to Sendspace.

Download Link --> Get TemplateMod

when you get to sendspace click the link at the Bottom that looks like this:

there are misleading "Download here" Ads there to mislead people to download something else.
