Alright, but I may ask some help/advice, maybe even ask silly questions..

Is there a ''Modding for dummies'' ..

Sh!t... it really exists!!! http://www.amazon.com/Modding-Dummie.../dp/0764575767

Well im not modding guru myself, So i would need to learn also, in GWX i was just a 3d & texture guy.
I dont think we will ever see a mass combined community effort with total co-operation accross the board because:

Constant communiaction is needed to avoid duplicating work and keeping consistancy
People will always disagree on what and how it should be done or driven
Some are unable to handle critism or take things personally.
Some will not want to share their successes or know-how with others.
Some will want to exploit others successes or know-how for ther own personal gain (rather than just learn from it).
Some will want to be 'in charge'.
Some will just want to compete.

Its all very sillly really -but hey ho thats just the way it goes from time to time... we're only human after all.
Dont get me wrong, we are lucky to have a great modding community for SH, but not everyone is sailing under the same flag

I appologise I meant steel beasts pro not the original steel beasts, ( but i'm sure you probably knew which one I meant ) with regards to SH3 it sold very well, but its sequel ( SH4) did not, had UBI released constant upgrades including stuff such as graphics updates, new ships, better models, better stability, wolfpacks, proper weather, better simulation... ect. We could have had the sim or our dreams by now sure it might have cost us more but there's the rub. After all i forget what version of call of duty were on now isnt that really what their doing there.

Iam amazed at what the modding community have done with both silent hunter 3 & 4 but with no access to the SDK they are limited to what can be done.

I personaly would have rather paid for several really good upgrades to Silent Hunter 3 over the last 5 years ( other than buying SH4 or SH5 ) which would of improved the game in many aspects keeping it up to date and addressing many of the gameplay and simulation issues.
