I have downloaded the Donation NARWHAL and started a campaign with it and am enjoying it very much. The team that put it together did a top notch job, it's a beast of a boat, and those two 6' guns with their high cycle rate are extremely fun. The one thing that I am having difficulty with is the very slow speed and horrible fuel mileage. I was wondering how difficult/easy it would be to just change, or maybe just fine tune the speed settings and fuel usage rate. Is it a relatively easy straight forward thing to modify, or am I entering a potential mine field of problems that I would be creating for myself? I know I recently downloaded a program that I know you guys use to MOD files that you can't MOD with Notepad, but for the life of me I can't remember what it's called or where I put it on my computer. So if someone could tell me what program to download and use to edit the necessary files that would be appreciated.

If someone could point me in the right direction of where and how to change the speed and fuel usage rate that would be great. I don't want to radically change the Donation NARWHAL, I just basically want to give her a newer faster and more fuel efficient pair of engines. I know in real life that some time in 1942 or early 43 the NARWHAL was given newer engines that where less problematic, so I guess this is what I would be doing as kind of a what if the new engines where two or maybe three generations better then the last.

Something just occurred to me. Do I still need the permission to make this change from the guys that made the Donation NARWHAL even if I am doing it just for me and my own game play, and not to be uploaded as a mod to be used by other people. I have read threw the FAQ and there does not appear to be an answer to this one way or the other. I do not want to do anything that would be inappropriate or rude.

Any and all help would be appreciated and thank you for your time.
