Looks good so far.:up:

Only question is the food stores limit for patrols. I think this is a great idea, but wonder if 40 days is too short. Perhaps not for a type II or VII, but type IXs went on some godawful long patrols. Will the built in extended range of that type be taken into consideration?

Very interesting. The Enigma Flotilla pretty much does the same thing. Have you looked into that aspect of role playing concerning SHIII? They use the Enigma Code machine there also.....:hmmm:

I'm interested :DL

Project canceled, sorry!

Update, project cancelled.

When you go live with this, I will probably give it a look.

I've been playing around with the idea of joining the Enigma Flotilla for the very same reason (adding a role playing element into a historically accurate simulation)

What a Suprise
 

PappyCain,

When I sent you a PM telling you I agreed with your historic sims posting I also invited you to visit the Enigma Flotilla. You must have liked our Flotilla to copy our idea.

What a suprise I got when I read your new posting where you are starting your own web site. What you plan to do copies Flotilla Enigma
program almost to the letter.

Do you really think the forum can accomodate two twins?:arrgh!:

BDU (LzZ):hmmm:

"What you plan to do copies Flotilla Enigma program almost to the letter."

I am sorry but I have not visited your website (yet) since getting your PM today. As a matter of fact I have not visited anyone's yet.

I ran an advanced flight combat sim (immersion) for years and made over a hundred custom designed missions and cinemas. I still have the website and the forums with maybe 160 members in the past who flew them. I bet I put in thousands of man-hours over the 2 decades. I am an immersion buff, and I have 3 high end graphic immersion sites in my portfolio. Yep, since the late 1990s - long before SH3. (We flew USAAF Jugs and P51s against Bf 109 and Me 190 in the Ardennes in MP and single player). I made WWII immersion websites and club programs for Fighter Ace, Jane's WW2 Fighters, Battle of Britain and am working on one for WWI Rise of Flight. All dedicated to advanced combat skills and historic values. My sub site was to be along the lines of the advanced sim and immersion styles I have already created above with all their bells and whistles.

I am not terribly interested in any market share here, it's a hobby and my real life global subsea commercial work keeps me busy in my semi-retirement.

So best wishes and continued success with whatever it is you are doing!


:salute:

Huh, I never considered that they might conflict.... hopefully this doesn't create a problem for anyone (still undecided what I am going to do....)

Well I just save everyone the heartburn. I am canceling my project.

Don't do that. You can claim prior art. :)

Just because I won't be joining doesn't mean I don't think it's a great idea. I just prefer to play on my own.

Besides, there's always room for one more group. People can try out one, and if they aren't satisfied with it then they can try out another. Not all things appeal to all people, and there are sometimes politics and personalities involved that cause someone to prefer one group over another. Besides, there will be people playing in both groups.

Don't think of it as competition. Think of it as additional choices.

Why not join in with the Flotilla Enigma? They have been established for quite some time now.

You both seem to want the same thing, seems silly to just drop the whole thing and even sillier to split those that do want an RPG element in SH3 between two groups.

I agree with the last few postings. I do not think you should give up on your project.

My post was a little harsh and you did not deserve a response of that type.

My feelings were a little hurt. I have three months of 6-8 hrs per day trying to make Enigma Flotilla work not to mention the cost of the website. Most, if not all, of our Flotilla are in agreement to your type of game play.

You have a lot of good Ideas to make SHIII more Historicaly interesting. I have a lot of band width left on the Flotilla site and would not mind you being co-host on the site and develope your project. I see a lot of creativity potential here.

I would have no problem giving you the password to the Enigma site builder. Each page you develop would have a seperate URL to your project and be under your control. I could also use some help and new ideas in maintaining the Enigma HQ.

Let me know if you would be interested. I think it would be benifical to the forum.

Cheers,

LzZ:salute:

C'mon Pappy, you cannot dangle your carrot before us and then whip it away. On behalf of quite a few members (I'm guessing), please, please, please don't give up... bite off LzZ's hand - after shaking it of course! :hmmm:
