Neat maps, Kielhauler. I am not able to read the soundings on the copy I downloaded. Is it possible to downlaod a higher-res version?
The soundings appear to be about a couple of km apart even in the shallowest areas. Harbor charts would have even denser depth information, but it is difficult to use effectively. And it is not clear how fine the mesh is that is used to represent the bottom in the game. A cool-looking chart like these wouldn't be much use oif the game doesn't model any of the detail.
Aras, you bring up another good point. As Rockin' Robbins said: "Realism isn't about game settings. It's about how you play." Depth sounding is one of those areas where you have to decide on your own level of realism.
