Can anyone make a custom Edmund Fitgerald skin?
 
I was wondering, in the custom ship skins modding department, could anyone make a custom skin of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, the famous freighter that was lost on Lake Superior on November 10, 1975? I know the ship was built in the late 1950s, so it would be a complete anachronism, but I personally think it would be interesting to do battle with the famous "Big Fitz".

Has anyone modded the Fitzgerald into SH3?
:hmmm:

You need the 3D model to do the texture.

It would not be a skin, but a whole new ship model, and no, no one has done it. There is a Great Lakes Freighter mod for SH3, but it is a little 1500-tonner, not the mighty Edumd Fitzgerald.

SH3 also lacks the Great Lakes for some odd reason...

Maybe because you could not take a Sub up there?
So why add it?
:haha:

Two words: Erie Canal.

Of course I'm not saying the Yanks will like you taking your u-boat up there... :O:

If I only went where they liked me, I'd be stuck in Willy harbor for the whole patrol.

Keep it submerged and on a need to know basis... :O:
