I know that none of them were ever completed. However, I did not realize that their beam was not the same as the 41.
I just figured that it would be an interesting short term addition since we cannot add other boats right now.
Actually, it will not be too simple, even using the same 3D model. Because the existing GR2s have references to the specific .sim(and other controller files) for that boat. In other words, you will have to hex edit those references to new files in order to change the stats for the new boat independently of the original sub used.
Or at least I am pretty sure it will work like that.
