Thanks for the info guys I guess I'll have to dust of DOSBox and see if I can't get some ideas from the game:p

I haven't tested this playable PT yet, but the screens are perfect! Amazing job gyus! Is this 'mod' compatible with JMSGE? And is the PT available in career mode?

P.S. I hope some day there'll appear playable US destroyers, cruisers and battleships (like Iowa)

Hey, Demon. Those answers would be yes and not yet. It definitely JSGME compatible (I can't imagine a mod other than an application that shouldn't be JSGME ready). And nope, it's not available for use in a career yet. It can be used in any of the single missions (a couple come with it) that start on the surface. That's part of the reason that it's not available for career mode yet. New missions need to be written specifically for the boat (since it really didn't serve the same functions as a sub or have the same range) and the whole career put together.

We're hoping that these things come together soon, but we still have a lot of work to do on the model itself and the damage model and all sorts of things that we haven't encountered yet. Right now, it's more of an interesting toy until we get the rest of it put together.

Thanks for the interest and enjoy it when you get to play with it

Thanks Trucker!

Hope the rest of this job will be done with no bugs etc. Playable German pocket battleship is a good 'parrallel' example

So I wish everyone who works at US/GB playable surface ships to finish their job successfully. If I could provide any assistance, feel free to contact me. Actually I'm not a modder, but I'd be glad to help. BTW, recently I found an amazing site of Naval warfare/industry

Unfortunately it seems to be completely in Russian, BUT if you'd like to get some info from there, I can help to translate the needed issues!

Brgds,

Thanks, Demon. We may have to take you up on that translation offer. I can barely read a little German, I don't stand a chance with Russian

Looking at this and dowloaded it and call me stupid, but, what are you opening the dat file in the documentation with?

Silly me, I used the documentation folder as a place to save backups of files as I was changing them. I should have removed it from the folder before I zipped it all up. If you really want to look at it, get skwas' S3D, but there's no documentation in the file. It's just a game file. Sorry for the confusion.
