I'll walk you through it.

1. Download the SCX/SCU mod for SubCommand from SubGuru's Website www.subguru.com/downloads (near the bottom).
2. Install the SCX/SCU files to a dummy (not the default) location.
3. After the SCX/SCU files install, the program will try to automatically load the graphics but it won't work, because its in a dummy location (which is good). Just exit out the DOS window to stop the load
4. Now copy the contents of the SCX/SCU /Graphics folder into your DangerousWaters/Graphics folder (don't forget to backup your original just in case).
5. Run the Install_Files program to install the new models
6. Now open DWEdit (which can be found at SubGuru's site about 1/2 the way down, made by Ludger).
7. In the 3D Object dialog you can reference the Akula (or any other model) to your newly installed Akula model. (they are called XAkula.j3d and XAkulaII.j3d iirc).
8. Run the game and see if it works.

That *should* work. If it does you should be able to use the SCX model like shown here. http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...70&postcount=7 .

Btw, ever thought to upgrading the SW model to something with more realistic dimensions?
