After some re-checking of the internet, I discovered that my earlier guess about the Kiel canal being widened was off by one world war! :oops:

It was widened to approximately 100m at the end of WW1 and today is anywhere from 100 to 200m wide in places. Unfortunately, the german website for the canal is down at the moment, so all I could get was limited information. Looks like the basic depth is 10m.

IMO CCIP, the width is more important than the depth in SH3, if only for the reason that you don't want to be running aground if you don't plot an exact centerline course.

Good luck and let us know how things are progressing! :yep:

Thanks

I created frist a working directory for TerrainExtractor, copied *.bfi, *.bfd, *.act into it.

Started prg. dialog for project dir popup and i seleted created working dir.
first quit was couldn'T find terrain.act -> solved it by renaming the file from Terrain.act to terrain.act . deleted *.ini file started it again.
Next error msg was 'couldn't find 4320_2160.jpg'. Only file in Terrain folder is 4320_2160.raw. I do have Photoshop 6.0 only, loaded this raw copied it, and created new rgb file, so i was able to save it as *.jpg .
deleted *.ini file again -> restart -> seletected open index -> selected *.bfi file -> hit ok button -> crash ->

I HATE Rapidshare! :hulk:

?? what is that

Thanks, Cdre Gibs. Actually what I had was incompatability between Rapidshare and AOL (which my friend's computer uses and which I also hate). I probably could have used Rapidshare from the library, but I used your mirror anyway.

Awesome work ref!

I tried to dabble with the Kiel Canal a long time ago with no luck. Glad to see you succeeded.

Just one question while I'm downloading the beta mod, besides being able to cut/add underwater details can you raise the land up as well to form better hills or small mountains within visual range of land? Primarily to add something to the anemic islands that are almost flat in some locations.

Once again, congrats!!! I tip my hat to you.
