Since my post below I went back to my little cache of SHII files I have kept over the years and forgot just how unstable it was right out of the box (remember when computer games were still boxed and placed on a shelf in a store? LOL). There were one tweak after another to get it to be the best experience ever. One individual, Duane Duetel spend countless hours work on the fixes needed for a stable platform for both with SHII and DC. In fact the members of the Wolfpact League and here at Subsim donated money to help defray his cost in working on the fixes. I think it wore him out, spending countless hours on the project. It appeared that not long after he did all he could with the project, he disappeared. Duane, in my opinion, did more for the players with SHII/DC than anyone else. He even got permission from UBI to make the changes needed to advance the game among the group. Very interesting times..........
