I always thought they was black, thanks for putting me right, some war films I've seen show them as such, but colour would indeed give more detail. I have used the museum to make a quick sil, but I'll try a software package, then we would have the in-game ship sils in colour. No point in importing a real ship sil as it might be slightly different.

I started with the Bismark because it has extra details, guns, AA, etc, so I would have an idea of the layout of all that information, and see it in-game. But as soon as that's done I'll start with the merchants, but the destroyers are very similar as well, so they'll be next.

I'll look how the ship manual and targeting work, and see if there's any way of doing it differently.

This started as a simple job. My "things to do" get's bigger.
