You've probably all done this, but make sure the "Type" line in the m36b.cfg file says "8" not "102". That's the most common reason for a ctd.

To be safe, I've also only used the NYGM m36b and Hurricane files when using a cam ship in another install. Stiebler modded the NYGM cam ship Hurricane so it is different than the stock one.

Make sure to add the m36b to your Englishnames.cfg file and make sure you've added the ship and plane to your rosters and the game sea and aircraft folders, though not doing this usually causes the game not to start vs a ctd.

Last but not least, in NYGM the cam ship is added to convoys in the campaign.rnd file vs. letting the game pick it via a generic .rnd file.
NYGM has it attached to 12 convoys, but of course one can have it in as many or few as wanted.
Thanks John.
I did all that, but others may benefit from it.

Not sure what causes the issue. I looked at campaign files, ship and aircraft files. Triple checked types used, followed the instruction to the tee but can not get it work in WAC or GWX. I even went so far as to import the aircraft and ship files from NYGM to WAC and GWX. Same resulting CTD when loading. Needless to say, I gave up for the time being. Generally, I can get the most ticklish mod to work with some tinkering.

Good hunting.
