Hi EmeAzul,

thanks for your reply. To the ships: the NAMT Navy Tanker is exactly the Empire Celt Tanker from AG124, the KDF Ferry Ship is exactly the Chatham Transport, from AG124 too.
I just renamed those types. The Chatham Transport remembers me to the KDF-Ships in Germany. KDF was a organisation of the 3. Reich that organised the "holidays" for their members.
The most well known KDF ship was the "Wilhelm Gustloff", which was sunk on January, 30th 1945 with some 9,300 victims (mostly refugees from East-Prussia) by a sovjet submarine
(see details: http://www.militaryhistoryonline.com...mgustloff.aspx ). See also a picture of the "Wilhelm Gustloff" (modell): http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Wi...off_Modell.jpg
That's why i renamed the "Chatham Transport".

I use AG124 ECT as a navy tanker and integrated it in navy convoys. As i prefer light colors, i've made new skins for both types: navy-grey for the tanker and light-grey for the passenger ship.

The minesweeper and the AA-Cruiser are still WIP, hope they will be ready some day.

The Campaign_RND and *_SCR are customised files. Surely i can post them, but the only thing you would get out of them is a CTD. For the ONS, ON and other convoys i usedthe SH3 MissionEditor, creating those convoys running back from Liverpool - Irish Sea - Noth-Canal - Rockall Banks and the northern route back to Halifax. It is very easy, just choose the ship you want to see in theese convoys (and the date, of course).
In the same way i made the convoys running back from Liverpool to Freetown.
For other merchant ships (those with external cargo), i used the MissionEditor choosing "Empty" from the "External Cargo"-menu.

If you want, i can post some screenshots of the two AG124 ships with the new skins (i must be back at home for FTP-upload).
