[REL] WB's Ultimate Ship and Aircraft Mod

[Wreford-Brown]

USAM v69.61.1 is now available with 58 new ships.

This mod is now big enough that I've been forced to break it into two parts as I'm too tight to pay for a MediaFire upgrade. These parts are imaginatively titled 'Part 1' and 'Part 2' and you'll need to download and enable both parts in order to get USAM to work. Details are in post #1 with full information contained in the Readme.

Where next with USAM?
This will be the last release until summer 2014 (Sepp - go for your h.sie and Stiebler fixes). My job is taking me out of country in late September for nearly nine months - those who know what I do for a living will know the destination. When I get back next year I'm aiming to creating spotter planes for battleships and cruisers and I'll try to add more of the_frog's awesome ship models which I ran out of time to integrate into USAM (I'm fairly sure it's a Library issue but ran out of time to investigate). Please feel free to tinker with this freeware mod as much as you like, just please put my name in your credits.

Additional Credits:
TheDarkWraith for his SHValidator (and Anvar1061 for reminding me that it existed!). I hit a brick wall about ten days before v69.61.1 was released and his validator was the only reason I was able to include all of the additional ships.
Anvar1061 for finding some cosmetic errors in .cfg files.
biosthetique for pointing out an error in the campaign files leading to 11.61.3.
