PT-Boats modding the controls

[Sonarman]

Well done Akella developers, for writing a mod guide on altering the boats physics and controls. A really good step to increase the games longevity and user base.

Yes, it is a good initiative. I would also add a couple of more parameters in the physhull.xml file as affecting the physics/stability of a vessel

<linearDamping>0.4</linearDamping>
<angularDamping>0.3</angularDamping>

Although, some of parameters influence more than one property of the boat when changed.

It would be also usefull to get a description of what one can achieve with scripts and what things are hardcorded (say, whether the size of the map can be controlled).

BTW, when I use Ctrl+Alt+U key combination on my v1.1 installation to remove GUI, the game looses the binocle mask in the binocle view while on the bridge of the boat.
