Mmmm... Wouldn't it be possible to use the existing tiles and only reorganise them so the port layout is more or less reproduced. In Bordeaux by example I would like to totally reorganise the harbor appearance.[/quote]

If I understand what you mean by existing tiles - I have taken the existing models and layed them out differently but I found that piers/jetties overlapped, lighthouses appeared in the wrong positions etc etc. What it needs is the ability to completely model, for example, St Nazaire, with its lock, drydock etc. I have been there and the model in SHIII bears no resemblance to reality.

The annoying thing is that the developers, as part of their sales pitch, promised the means to do this, but they haven't honoured that commitment. All power to developers (I'm one) but if you say you will make something available pre-sales, then you do it.
