Great, where was this discussion ?

Speaking of WWI, there is a WWI Combat Flight sim being built called OFF (Over Flanders Field) It is a stand alone built using CFS3 and is expected to be released by Christmas as a CD swap freeware or donation ware at SimOuthouse. Here is a link about its release dates which has screens in some of the post

Great thanks.

The Germans used decoy ships in the Baltic one sinking 2 Brit subs.

Decoy ships ? You mean like Q-Ships ?

The most serious lacking of SH3 is no wolfpacks.

Yes. Was there every a sim with Wolfpacks ?

A WWI based sim even using SH3 with WWI models would actually be more accurate than the WWII SH3

I think it would be neccessery to make some substantial changes to the engine to simulate WWI properly.

as there were no cooperation missions between multiple U-Boats, ergo, you would be on your own as a WWI Kaleun would be.

That is not entirely true. There were group operations at the end of the war especialy after convois were introduced, it becomes quickly clear that u-boats would need to operate in an organized manner: So they did in the last months of the war. But this group operations weren't so sofisticated as in WWII. But not only at the end of the war. I know of a group operation in July 1916 where 14 u-boats participated in.

The sim being discussed here would be very cool particularly for those that play SH3 at 100%.

Yes that is my target audiance. People who play at 100% and would love to play at 150%

I have done everything I can to mod this so it is more difficult but, IMO, a WWI U-Boat sim would be better than anything because of the manual requirements, you having to do it rather than push a button.

Yes yes. It is my special concern to give as much things to the player as possible that he have to do by hand. Gives you a better feel for the boat.

My one hope is the ability to move around like in a (dare I say it) FPS game rather than pop from one point to another

This was at the top of all priorities since the beginning of the project.

Best of luck and do it for fun and passion letting the release come as it does.
