[TEC] Duplicate ZON File

I've been poking my attention over the shoulder of the modders on here often enough where I worried about that. When I used S3d to examine the ZON file, I couldn't see anything that would lead me to that conclusion, so I figured I'd ask. And now I know .

I know how you modders feel, now... I assume the Tenryu is a new ship introduced by 1.5, simply 'cause NSM4 does not have a modded ZON file for it. The pics listed in the Identification book for the Tenryu and the Kuma are the same... so I simply assumed the ships were visually identical (or close to it). A quick Google search later, and I find that Acepilots.com has information on both of these ships. Of course, the Tenryu and Kuma are similiar... but they're quite a bit different, too. They both have three stacks, but the superstructure, gun placements, and existence of a "seaplane rail" (what's the proper term?) differ.

So... the next itch to scratch after getting the ZON file compatible with NSM would be to fix either the model itself (if it's not correct), or the ID book entry. One thing leads to another...

But there's a 4 knot wind outside right now, and the radio control model aircraft hanging on the wall is calling for me. I'll wait for a rainy day or when it's dark.

Thanks, too, Mikhayl... I'll end up using that info to correct the ZON file, hopefully by matching it to a similiar ship.
