Problem identified in GWX 3 Wilhemshafen,St Naz,Schluese v7 - Can we fix it?

Hi,

Credit to fitzcarraldo and Madox58 for discovering that the ship SMS Schleswig-Holstein introduced in "GWX 3 Wilhemshafen,St Naz,Schluese and xtra ships v7" may be the reason a lot of us use v6 instead. Viewing said ship in the museum yields floating turrets and all other sorts of corruptions, and a CTD occurs after attempting to scroll further down the country list (usually to Greece). I suspect this ship may also be causing the CTDs in campaigns. I'd like to have a discussion about what can be done to address this.

What Madox58 suggested years ago was to remove the ship entirely from the roster and sea folders. This fixes the CTD, but I am hesitant due to the unknown effects this might have on the game. I've taken a look through the campaign files in Notepad++ and see that the ship makes several specific appearances. Can anyone more experienced comment as to what might happen if the campaign files call for a ship that has been removed? Removing the entries from the campaign is out of my skill set as I've never used the mission editor or whatever might be used in this case.

My preferred method would be through actually fixing whatever is wrong with the ship. I have been and will continue looking through the ship's files but have relatively little experience in this area and haven't found anything suspect as of yet. Any help here would be great!

By the way, speaking of campaign files, I've noticed that the "merged campaigns" included in several mods such as v7, v6, and New Lorient v1.5 tend to feature significantly smaller files than the ones from the official GWX - Merged Campaign.

10,039 KB -- GWX - Merged Campaign
9,611 KB -- v6 Merged Campaign
8,575 KB -- v7
8,575 KB -- New Lorient plus v6 Merged Campaign
8,575 KB -- New Lorient plus v7 Merged Campaign
8,574 KB -- GWX non-merged

There is a similar pattern with the _SCR.mis files. Is there something actually missing here as the file sizes suggest or do I simply not understand how .mis files work?

Regards!
