Do you know by the way if we need keep the GenHeightControl, GenSpeedControl and other old controllers in .val-file? We deleted those and use only SH5Wake and SH5Foam controllers, and everything seems just fine.

One small question/constructive criticism... Your ship is very heavily armed in the start of the war already. I think it would be more realistic if it would be unarmed at the start of the war, guns would come later on.

Anyway, really good job, keep them coming

Thank you Rongel.

Yes, we need those Gen controllers. They are not old. I actually added them to my ship on purpose. They are not being used for the wakes, they are being used to scale/ control the bow wave...............Something just occurred to me. You deleted them from the other ships? That could very well be why people are seeing bow waves long after the ships have sunk! Try adding them back in, you can use my ship as as blue print, and see if those mysterious surface bow waves don't disappear.

And, about the weapons, she is bristling with guns now that you mention it. Feel free to edit the .eqp in anyway you see fit. I just wanted to make sure that all the gun ports were working, and then I forgot to make it realistic again .
