Any progress on this or your others AG ?
And whatever happened to the Lake ship

No luck so far - they are all crashing the game when they break in two. I am continuing to try, and may make some progress soon I hope.

Very nice tanker AG.

Hope to see it soon with a Brit or neutral flag on it, if possible.

BTW..... what did happen to trying to make the loaded ships ride lower in the water?

Der Teddy Baer had raised this issue for NYGM some months ago (before Wulfmann mentioned it, actually), and had put forward examples of a single merchant ship that were duplicates with different riding depths (heavy laden, normal loading, in ballast). These worked well enough, but the team considered that the cost (RAM, download time) of adding an extra two types of every merchant ship was excessive. Frightful, actually.

Someone else, I think from one of the German SH3 Forums, suggested independently that the depth be altered for the ships in the campaign files. Now this works well enough for single ships in campaign_SCR.mis, but convoys - the relevant part - all occur as single groups in campaign_RND.mis. If you lower the depth for the group to simulate heavy loading, the whole group sinks by the same amount. That is unfortunate for the escorts, which tend to sink when below water!

So we abandoned the concept. Good idea, implementation not practical.

Stiebler.

I hope I get rid of this silly atavar soon. It doesn't look anything like me.
