This thread will be a Library for all new Ships which are for Dl or wich are currently made.
Aim of it is to make it easy for everyone To find out whch ships, Objects where made for SH III so that no modell is exidently worked on by more than one Person.
To all 3d modders: Please inform me or bigboywooly of news of your planned work and the ships you are currently working on asap(PM would be nice) so that we can update this Library whenever there is sth. new going on. Pictures are also a very nice addition when you have them.

:up: :up: :up: Please only Post the DL Links of new ships here, no comments Please we have another thread for that. :up: :up: :up: :up:
News:

If something doesn t work please PM me and don t use this thread as it wouldn t change anything and it only messes the whole thing up!!!

I am sorry I saw a page somwhere here where I thought they were talking about doing some of these ships on this http://www.gdynia.mm.pl/~jack_410/SH/

Sorry that I am rushing you on this but I do think your ships look great keep of the good work. I design missions for online club just getting a little yancey about designing a mission with the Graf Spee in it in the South Atlantic. Hope you get the main guns to work. How hard is it to make these ships seem like you must know a lot about code to get them right! anyway hoping you get things ironed out. We the gamers of sh3 really thank you guys for doing this for us as the developer didn't give this like they should of. I hope that sh4 they give us a few more ships then they did in Sh3 that should of been in the game. Give us some Heavy cruisers like the Norfolk class too thanks. U-5000

Thanks for your nice reply, First I have to say that i don´t know what is worked on atm. as I will recive lists of their current work by sergbuto, AG124 and iambecomelife in the next days. For the reason of completness I would also ask the other modders to tell me what they are working on or what they have seriously planned and send me informations and maybe pictures of their work.

For the Spee and other ships, the process of building new ships is time consuming thing and You have to be patient as the modells will come out when they work in the game without causing CTDs.

Moin,
Does anyone know whether these ship models can be used with the up and coming NYGM 2.2 ? If so is the process quite simple and will I actually see the ships in game ?

Cheers, Mr Gruber If this question refers to my ship I would say yes. The process of implementing is quite easy and is described in the installation instructions step by step. Even if you are an unexperienced computer user you should manage to install the vessel within 5 minutes. Allthough the class name has been changed the unit type remained preserved as type 104. So it should show up after placing it in the roster without any further action wherever generic type 104 is called ingame. But as I don´t have the time to play the game I didn´t confirm it yet. I´ve used it in test missions only to check out its behaviour when under fire.

Regards,
DivingDuck

It should appear in the game for all stock nations, except Free France and also Japan, I think. All nations except these two should have many generic 104 entries (actually most of them are generic) - Free France has only warships and I don't think there are any Japanese vessels scripted into the stock game at all (at least not in the random layer).

Whats the chance of you guys listing (with his permission of course) CB..'s stationary seaplane mod here. It's dissapeared in the past by-gone threads and some of the newer members might like to know it's out there. It adds to the atmosphere of a port when having it docked near a pier with a tug boat parked close by:up: I know it's not a boat per-se but you do copy the files into the sea roster and script it in the editor from the ship lists.

I forgot to comment on that tanker.:damn: And I should have, because it is by far the greatest ship that Iambecomelife has yet completed. Take a look around UBoat.net if you have the time, and see some of the 7-9000 GRT tankers there. This tanker looks exactly like most of them - if this was in the game then I would cease to care about the T3 at all - it could replace it as far as I'm concerned. What especially amazes me is that it is was built from the very different Liberty Ship.:huh:

But this thread isn't for commentary - it is for adding to the library listing and that is what I intend to do.

Chris911, you may wish to add my lightship to the WIP list - I may have a picture ready tonight, but I have a lot of university work to do. I have also started a Heavy Whale Factory Ship earlier (I forgot about it) but don't have a picture yet - maybe you already have that one listed but I forget.

Also, Germone_73 has announced that he has an Admiral Scheer and Lutzow/Deutchland ready as well, although they need to be textured. And he has stated that his next ship after that will be one of the County class CAs.:hmm:

WIP Lightship. Still needs a tarp over the stern, and some objects need to be moved. Also, the bow tarp is currently part of the hull, and needs to be made into a separate object - it will take some time but is no problem to do.

Generic Merchant T. An old-fashioned freighter of about 6,000 tons. It's a drastic redesign of an old ship that I didn't like anymore. This model is nearly complete but still needs additional rigging. The paint scheme shown is for Common Brothers Ltd. Ingame it will be assigned to nearly every nation.

Generic Merchant X. A modern freighter with a long bridge deck. It's another major redesign of a model that I had created several months ago. This ship will range from 4500-5100 tons ingame. I may shrink the cranes on the final version. The paint scheme shown is for J&C Harrison. It will be assigned to Britain, France, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden.

Hi everyone,

i was looking for some empty tanker for the ONS/ON/OB-Convoys back from England to the USA. Mrchant without deckload - no problem, but emoty tankers will have less draft.

http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/9861/tanker2vv2.jpg

So i took the T 2 an T 3 Tanker, made a clone of each and reduced the draft (from 10.7 to 6.5 resp. from 9.5 to 5.5. m).

I've integrated both in my Campaign_RND.mis and Campaign_SCR.mis, building new convoys - ONS, ON, OB - sailing back to Halifax. For those who to dl them, klick here.

http://files.filefront.com/E_Tanker7z/;6013297;;/fileinfo.html

The next one is a convertrd passengership. Many passenger and merchant ship in Germany were convertred to AA-batterys to protect german harbours and habour-industrie. I took the PTR, gave him some heavy and medium AA_guns.

http://img68.imageshack.us/img68/8462/01flakschifftw7.jpg

The ship is ready and in use, but i'm just testing a new idea for the optical distance measuring system (i want do make it following the targets like the guns). Hope it will work.

The only one here which will overwrite an existing ship is rowi's NKGN, which will overwrite the cloned NKGN by Sergbuto (unless you rename it and clone it).

Most merchants will appear in the campaign as single entries without further work - major warships will need to be scripted manually. Also, entries have to be made manually in the Englishnames.cfg and Germannames.cfg for the ships' names.

I am not very familiar with SH 3 modding. What 3D program do you use guys? 3D Studio Max?

UVW texture mapping is a very simple process in general. It's no problem for me to fix the mapping for you in 3D Max, however, it's always the best practice if the skinner himself takes those 2-3 hours to learn it and does it on his own without a need of a middle man who doesn't really know how he wants to skin the model. Anyway, let me know. Meanwhile here is a very nice and simple texture mapping tutorial:

I do hope those decks can be fixed since they are quite visible when the ships are sinking. :arrgh!: :up:

AG124, how are you doing with that UVW texture mapping? If you get the ship models to me in 3ds format and show me what part of the textures you want me to map on the deck, I will do it for you in 3D Studio Max. I suppose your work willl be a part of GWX and I would like to see those nice ships being mapping error free. ;)

Here is another WIP ship you may want to add to my list in the library:

http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/2783/proteusbe3.png

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9c/AC-10_Collier_Nereus.jpg

BTW - There were actually seven vessels in the Proteus class, although the number is usually listed as four. The four well know ones are as follows:

USS Cyclops - Lost (unknown cause), February, 1918.
USS Jupiter - Converted to CV-1 USS Langley (Sunk by Japanese a/c, 1942)
USS Nereus - Lost (unknown cause), December, 1941.
USS Proteus - Lost (unknown cause), December(?), 1941.

The other three were USS Orion, USS Neptune, and USS Jason. All three were scrapped in the late 1930s.

@ mkubani - Thank you for the offer. :yep: I will contact you back on that later, if I decide to get the maping fixed.

11-06-06, 04:54 PM
Feel free to do so. I suppose it won't take me more than 5 minutes per ship to fix the most serious mapping problems and your work will look much better for sure. You can contact me on my gmail email (same as my nick here) or by PM anytime. Maybe you can send me one ship for trial to see how it will come out.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what would be a good tonnage for the LightShip? Currently, I have it set at 756 GRT.

11-08-06, 10:15 PM
The Carpentaria (the lightship which I posted for you to look at) weighs 164 tonnes. The ship is revitted steel and it servied in Bass Straight, so it's no fairweather ship.

Maybe a good tonnage would be around 500 tons or so.

Generic Liner A. A vessel that would have had larger and better accommodation space than a freighter, as well as a higher top speed; however, it's still a step below one of the famous liners. 10,000 GRT. Unfortunately the No. 2 stack is a dummy, since I don't know how to hex in a functioning one. It will be assigned to the UK and Commonwealth, US, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Japan, Denmark, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, and Sweden.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/iambecomelife/PC-4.jpg

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/iambecomelife/PC-3.jpg
Generic Liner B. Old-fashioned medium liner based on a ship from Silent Hunter 2. Larger and faster than the ship above. It will be about 12,000-15,000 GRT and will serve the UK, Canada, France, Japan, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden.
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/iambecomelife/PC-5.jpg
http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/iambecomelife/PC-6.jpg
Generic Liner C. 15,000-20,000 GRT. It's based on large liners that the British used on routes between the UK and its colonies before the war. The paint scheme is for P & O. This ship will only be used by the larger, more established companies-hence, fewer nationality assignments. Like the other two it has a dummy stack; it also has two dummy propellers since it would just be weird to have such a large ship with one screw. Nations: UK, US, Canada, France, Japan, Germany, Italy, Netherlands.

With a few modifications these ships can also be used as armed merchant cruisers and transports.

Iambecomelife, those passenger vessels are simply amazing.:o I would recommend you keep the two funnels, as they give the ship a far better silhouette than one (although one would look good as well). I hope you find out how to hex edit the .dat to another funnel as a .obj - I did the same thing as you to add a second funnel but would like to know the full process.

BTW - did you mention Swedish passenger liners? I didn't know Sweden had passenger liners (I don't know too much about the Swedish merchant). I may be hijacking this thread though...:shifty:

While we're on the topic of your ships Iambecomelife, are you planning on releasing that Perth class CL as an individual unit, or is it going to be saved for your mercant pack?

A preview of an WWI old timer I finished for GWX.

I used Gerome_73s Graf Spee as a base. Excellent and flawless model! Many thanks to Ref for UVMapping, Cdre Gibs for 3dhints and guns advices, Boris for the skin and AG124 for his continuous support.

Actual WWII pic:
http://img238.imageshack.us/img238/1087/picture1ec3.jpg (http://imageshack.us)


Some history:

WWI Era
The ship was launched on March 12, 1910 and sailed in Faliron, near Athens, on September 1, 1911. Averof was at the time the most modern and powerful ship in the navies of either the Balkan League or the Ottoman Empire. As such, with the outbreak of the First Balkan War she took part, as the flagship of the Hellenic Royal Navy. During the naval battles at Elli (December 3, 1912) and Lemnos (January 5, 1913) against the Ottoman Navy, she almost single-handedly secured victory and the undisputed control of the Aegean Sea for Greece.

WWII Era
After Germany's attack against Greece in 1941 and the collapse of the front, the ship's crew disobeyed the orders to scuttle the ship to avoid capture by the Germans, and sailed to Alexandria to join the Allied forces, under constant German air attacks along with the remaining Greek fleet.

From August 1941 to the end of 1942, the ship was assigned to convoy escort and patrol duties in the Indian Ocean, based at Bombay. After that she returned to Port Said, where she was used as a headquarters ship, and was assigned to harbour protection missions.

Today
She is preserved as a museum in Athens, Greece. The ship is still regarded as in active service. Every Hellenic Navy ship entering or sailing in Faliron Bay honours the Averof while passing; every man on decks stands to attention, officers saluting, looking to the side where the Averof is in sight until "Continue" is ordered.

No, those ships haven't been modeled for SHIII. But actually, in the open-source subsim Danger from the Deep, several variants of the North Sands (or Fort) class freighter has been included - if you want to see a couple of shots I can post them for you, although the model is not available for this game. If someone was looking to build a new merchant for SHIII, this would be a good one to do, IMO, as it could represent any generic merchant of that size in addition to its specific class - more so than the ugly C2 and C3 anyway.:roll:

Furthermore,the HMS London was extencivelly rebuilt prewar and resembled very much to those Town and Fiji class light cruisers (especially to the model with the completely vertical stucks).

Medium merchant based on ships built in American yards during and after WWI. It's a replacement for one of the ships I posted screenshots of several months ago.

Hi and thanks for the latest news, I still think your skins are the best merchant skins on any of the forums and cant wait for them to be finished.

Between you and Fubar with his sub skins you two are the best by far

Very very nice....do we have a release date ? :up:

Thanks people - I was hoping for a Christmas release but now it looks like the mod will be released for damage modeling/beta testing by March - April. Unfortunately I discovered a bug with several tankers for the mod (missing wakes and/or incorrect engine sounds) and that set me back. Alternatively, I could release a version without all of the tankers and passenger ships 1 - 1.5 months earlier than that...

As we have 5 different Tankers atm in GWX I think it would be very nice if you can make two packs so it is also maybe easier to skript the Ships into the .SCR if you don t have 40 new ones....

Btw what up with your CL when will u release that one ? it might be a very nice add on to the other Cruisers that are in GWX and to Geromes HMS Norfolk which will be realeased shortly.

Hello and Merry Christmas!

May I suggest a WW1 light cruiser? There were several classes used by the British navy douring WW2. And maybe HMS Warspite based on Revenge class? Basically, there only some alternations on the bridge needed.

Of course I know that all the modders are very busy with all these masterpieces that they make all the time!!:up:

Generic Merchant "A". It's heavily based on a ship that Subsim user Xeidos2 was going to include in his now-defunct WWI U-Boat game: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=87244

This vessel will be very common, since practically all seafaring nations used small steamers like this one around the outbreak of the war. The text amidships is correct on both sides of the hull, since it is printed on a modified deckhouse for the parent unit (Liberty Ship).

I'd like to try a "Warspite or a WWi light cruiser but I'm still trying to learn how to model warships properly. The cruiser I built earlier had some inaccuracies with the rigging, etc; these need to be fixed before it's released.

It would be great to have these ships in the supermods - one thing I'm trying to resolve before relase is internal zoning, especially for tankers - the engine rooms for them need to be moved astern from the standard midships position. Based on what I've heard the new mods have very good sinking models and it would be best if these vessels had the most accurate sinking behavior possible in order to fit in...

This is Generic Tanker 7. It will only be assigned to the UK. Based on the "San Gerardo", "San Florentino", "San Fabian", "Cadillac", "Saranac", and additional tankers of 12,000 - 13,000 tons that were built during or shortly after WWI. The paint scheme shown is for Eagle Oil.

Its the old Norwegian coastal liner (Hurtigruten) "D\S LOFOTEN",
Here is the info:
In service Bergen-Kirkenes, but from Sept.-1941 Hurtigruten's routes only went as far as Tromsø (due to the war). Lofoten was shelled by the Russian submarine K-2 (Utkin) on Sept. 12-1941, northwest of Vardø, Norway but was not hit.
Lofoten also reported torpedoes fired from the British submarine Satyr (Weston) on Sept. 30-1944, southwest of Bodø, but again she was not hit (Torpedo bounced off because of bad angle).
Towards the end of the war, several vessels in Hurtigruten had been laid up due to shortage of coal, until only 4 ships were left in the route, Lofoten being 1 of them.

iambecomelife
01-13-07, 05:56 PM
I'm working on tankers right now but it would be possible to convert some of the small freighters into passenger ships like that one.

This tanker is based on ships of 10,000-10,500 tons that several oil companies built right before the outbreak of the war. They were high-priority targets and several were torpedoed with heavy loss of life, including the "Arthur F Corwin" (46 dead) and "Narragansett" (49 dead). The survivors were gradually scrapped postwar after the new generation of supertankers made them obsolete.

It will be used by the UK, Norway, Sweden, Japan, US, Germany, Italy, France, Netherlands, Panama, and Denmark. If time allows I will do an oiler conversion along with the normal, merchant navy vessel.

Each one more impressive than the last! Pleeease release before SH4 comes out. Furthermore, I beg you to let the GWX team in for the final weeks before release so that a GWX damage and campaign compatible version can be made.

I get the impression that you are going to have a very complex roster (and maybe clone?) structure in order to have the right skins on the right ships etc. I fear that this might not be compatible with any of the current supermods, which 99% of players tend to use these days.

Being able to make the ships compatible pre-emptively would save so much hassle. I know you have been asked this before, but please, please, please consider this seriously. Your work is some of the most outstanding and highly anticipated ever, and I'd hate to see it not work with existing mods.

Right now in order to solve the skin problem I'm thinking o freleasing two versions:

-A "LITE" version with a smaller filesize that is easier to install. It will not have cloned ships and will have vessels skinned in extremely common liveries that multiple countries would have used (black funnel w/ black hull, etc). There will be few, if any company logos, neutrality flags, and other distinctive features. This will be the preferred version for use with the supermods.

-A "FULL" version with many more skins and cloned ships so that each ship has accurate hull flags, text, and funnel colors where applicable. This will be much larger, and might not be used with the supermods for the time being because of filesize and compatibility issues.

I know how to modify the damage models to a degree; the biggest problem right now is the compartment issue. Sinking behavior is generally accurate but my tankers and engine-aft freighters still have their engines amidships. :damn: I will probably need help resolving this.

iambecomelife
01-14-07, 09:38 PM
I just finished a replacement for another tanker that was unreleasable due to file corruption. Hopefully it's visually distinct enough from its parent unit (above) to make it interesting - I tried adding double masts, bridge cabs, and a different bow & stern, among other things. As with several other ships, there's a provision for hull text if it's needed. Tonnage is about 10,000 - 10,500. It will be used by Norway, Sweden, Japan, the UK, Netherlands, and Denmark.

Hi there,
No I'm not going to complement you on your skins, why bother every body knows how good they are.

My Question,

Are your new ships intended to replace all, or some, or most of the stock rubber duckies, or will they be additioanl ships in amongst the stock ships?

Question.
It seems there is a formidable amount of work with getting these ships up and ready, I wonder if you might not be able to give one or two of your ship models and skins to each of the best moders in the forum and have ach of them finish each ship for you under your direction. Forgive me if I am talking out of turn is just an idea.

Question
Re your damage model issues, I wonder if you can adapt the NYGM damage model for the exisiting stock ships to your skins, I know nothing about making an effective damage model so forgive me again if this is just a dumb idea, but on the other hand why re-invent the wheel.

the sooner the better Problem is that the ships must be converted to GWX and then skripted into SCR and RND layer which is very time consuming. So i hope Iambecomelife will make 2 or 3 packs of ten ships each with comeout as soon as they are ready. So it is possible to include them in GWX in 2 or 3 weeks.....
With 30 or 40 ships this will take two moth or even more when u ahve to check all the entries which atm are not random for exemple all the ships in the Harbours ......
So I hope he considers this when he releases his great looking mod.....

bigboywooly
01-23-07, 04:21 PM
Convoy entries arent a problem as the majority are now generic so will pick any merc in the roster folder
The scripted ones in ports arent too bad either really
Depends on what ships are there and if any can be used to replace current ones for some nations - but even that is a 5 minute job

If they were made GWX ready they could be in the game in no time
But as they arent GWX ready then they will all need damage modelling and that takes time

If Iambecome is only holding back due to damage modelling his ships , he could let Von have them now to GWX DM them as that would alter the damage model that Iam does anyway

Then both versions could be released at same time

I guess this is what I meant, re my earlier comments, I just thought that perhaps some members of the community, preferably those who by example have already identified themselves as excellent modders might be able to take some of the drudge work off of Iambecome, seeing as we are all shi---ting ourselves for his mechant mods.

Re the NYGM damage model I'm curious re your original comment. I was blissfully ignorant of any bad feeling that may have developed between the two dev teams. As far as I was concerned I just thanked my stars that there were such dedicated and generous people about who would devote their time and energy to making this game work.


I used to be a NYGM fan, now I play GWX, so I'm familiar with both, or at least from what I've seen through the periscope. I play GWX now largely for the eye candy, particularly in harbour, though I miss the escort patrolls and other aspects of the allied AI in NYGM.

At the end of the day it was the damage model in both that attracted me in the first place, I just wanted damaged or sinking ships to behave in a realistic manner which clearly they did not in the stock game, if the GWX team had stayed with what they had in the original Grey Wolves I would have stayed with NYGM .

Now as for the differences between the two damage models, GWX and NYGM, from a players perspective in both mods you hit a ship, it either goes boom and sinks, or it gradually heels over and sinks or you plug it again with another torp or the deck gun. I'm talking here from a player perspective , not as a mod techie.

I wonder therefore if it really matters which damage model is used as in either case there is a loud bang and bunch of grumpy allied sailors and a smaller bunch of happy Germans.

I ask this to be educated and not to cause offence to any one

Rascal101 is right. My models are mainly intended to replace the standardized classes that are assigned to nations like Greece, Norway, the UK, etc. As far as I know only the UK had a large number of mass-produced WWII era American ships (mainly Liberties, possibly a few other types). Norway and the USSR had a few liberty ships, but you would not have been likely to encounter them. Shortly after the game came out the lack of enough generic vessels drove me crazy, and once I had the chance I decided to do something about it.

I would like for them to coexist with the stock SH3 ships because many of them are quite well modeled, including the coastal merchant, victory, and liberty. Also, to be honest the default SH3 ships will always have better damage modeling characteristics, and some users will probably prefer them for that reason. So yes, they still have a role to play after the mod comes out.

In the past I extensively modded the scr and rnd layers of my campaign, and I would be willing to help script in my vessels when needed - for example, in ports, for historical events, and so on. It's going to require a lot of work and I don't want it to seem like I'm dumping this whole thing on you ...

I can release some of the ships right now for damage modeling if minor "quality control" work that still needs to be done (moving a few nodes, checking for off-center parts and so on) will not affect the damage modeling changes. Will it? I'm clueless about this aspect of SH3 ship modding, so bear with me. :oops:

I have spoken to Von Helschig (sp?) about the DM's and asked if it would be possible to use the same model for several ships to speed up the process, since a large number of the vessels are based on the same hulls or hulls that differ by maybe 5-10 scale feet. IMO external details like bow shape and funnel size would have had very little impact on how fast a ship sank, and hopefully nobody complains if a 405-foot freighter sinks as fast as a 400 foot one.

I have tested modded ships on standard SH3 and NYGM installations and the sinking behavior, based on where a torpedo hits, is virtually always correct. A disproportionate number seem to go down with one hit, but many (30-45%?) require two or more. Still, I understand that more accurate modeling is needed to help improve immersion for the typical user. I've been told that damage modeling is extremely difficult but I've done a little hex editing (especially in the pre-pack3d era). If anyone has a tutorial or hints about doing this type of work, please let me know. :yep:

"A disproportionate number seem to go down with one hit, but many (30-45%?) require two or more."

I think that about 40 % needing more than one trop seems right a least when I sink ships in GWX many only need one trop eg. most C3 and C2 and some of the new merchants. The DM imho more changes the sinking behavior so that a ship needs some time to sink when the damage is done .They don t break appart as often as in Vanilla.....

But normaly that ratio seems to be right with the 40% u have to consider that a lot trops don t hit right or don t explode if you are forced to shot a convoy from a subobtimal possition due to the higher realism of GWX considering the abiltyies of the Escorts.....

Hmm, this gets a little more interesting, I was always of the impressions that your mechants were new skins for original ships, not entirely new ships, so sorry I f I may have oversimplified things. But I'm glad I am on the right track, though frustrated that I may not actually be able to do anything practicel to make your ships a reality

Guess I'll have to sit tight and wait while those with tallent sort this out


Rascal101 is right. My models are mainly intended to replace the standardized classes that are assigned to nations like Greece, Norway, the UK, etc. As far as I know only the UK had a large number of mass-produced WWII era American ships (mainly Liberties, possibly a few other types). Norway and the USSR had a few liberty ships, but you would not have been likely to encounter them. Shortly after the game came out the lack of enough generic vessels drove me crazy, and once I had the chance I decided to do something about it.

Here's a post I just made in the Mod Request for More Ship Types thread.

Looks like Rowi_58 has released a civilian version of his anti-aircraft flak ship - it is a two funnelled version of the NPTR. Look really good too, and adds variety to the transport roster.:yep:

I know I'm off subject but I think you are a regular visitor over at the German SH3 site. I came across what I think is Rowi's depot ship wich I'm not sure, it either comes with a bunch of Uboats tied up or you can tie up at the depot ship.
Whatever I am buggered if I can translate the install here's a link to the download if you or any one you know can help.

I suppose installing it will cause all manner of conflicts with my GWX, but what the hell I'm feeling saucy!

Its the old Norwegian coastal liner (Hurtigruten) "D\S LOFOTEN",
Here is the info:
In service Bergen-Kirkenes, but from Sept.-1941 Hurtigruten's routes only went as far as Tromsø (due to the war). Lofoten was shelled by the Russian submarine K-2 (Utkin) on Sept. 12-1941, northwest of Vardø, Norway but was not hit.
Lofoten also reported torpedoes fired from the British submarine Satyr (Weston) on Sept. 30-1944, southwest of Bodø, but again she was not hit (Torpedo bounced off because of bad angle).
Towards the end of the war, several vessels in Hurtigruten had been laid up due to shortage of coal, until only 4 ships were left in the route, Lofoten being 1 of them.







http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d54/iambecomelife/PC-One.jpg


This is the same general type of ship, although larger (3500-4000 tons) - a small passenger/cargo ship suitable for coastal service. It's a replacement for a freighter of approximately equal tonnage that I no longer liked.

Hallo donots,
dreister gehts nicht, oder?

Shortly before donots got banned at the german ubi-boards he presented a FW190 WIP with some screenshots. He edited the screenshots out later.
Not long after this "Testpilot_1978" appeared at the board for the first time (registered the same day [8.nov06]), saying hi and presenting the same FW190 as his work.
Hmmm......

Not stricly true with aircraft
There are very few Rnd entries for aircraft as they show as ship spotted - not aircraft
99% of the aircraft you will see are spawned by the game from airbases

Nope
If you look at the D\L it includes a land folder witht hte entries to airbases included
Obviously this will overwrite your current airbases

The readme is in German but from what I can gather its not for GWX
Can only assume they are set up for stock
