Rowi58, thanks for the detailed explanation. I'm very familiar with the tragic "Wilhelm Gustloff" episode, having read Gunter Grass' Crabwalk historical novel. So turning the AG124's CHT Transport into a KDF Ferry makes perfect sense to me. And with a new light gray skin, I guess that makes it unique. The NAMT Navy Tanker, based on AG124's ECT, also sound pretty interesting to me, especially with the new navy gray skin you have used.
Since you offered, I would love to see some screenshots of both of these. Of course if you would be willing to share these completed works, I'm sure the SH3 Community would really appreciate it. The same would apply to your WIP projects, the NPTA AA Cruiser and the NAMS Minesweeper, whenever they become available. I'm now up to 50 Merchants and Tankers, including your 2 empty tankers and the 3 wrecked ships, so I'm always on the lookout for more.
If you don't mind my asking, how do you go about changing the unit name and details of an existing ship, i.e. like changing the unit name of the CHT into the KDF? Is it as simple as coming up with a unique unit designation and then changing the appropriate .cfg, .dat, .dsd, .eqp, .sim, .sns, .val and .zon files in the Sea/Unit folder to reference this new unit? Or is it more complex than this, entailing various changes in the above mentioned files? If it involves changing the almost unreadable .dat file, then I'm afraid its beyond my capabilities. Thx
