Anyone with the ability to make a realistic wake island?

Well, that's a bit odd.

Couldn't they have put them in at the correct date?

Ask Lurker why they aren't. He did make OM after all.

If they were created from the stock game then no matter what year you were there you would see them.

I was playing as a U-Boat and in 1940 decided to take a trip to Pearl and see what I could find. That is when I noticed them. I went back on Dec 7th '41 but no battle took place.

Well there wouldn't be any battle, unless someone scripted one.

With ships, when they are put in, you input a start date and an end date. I assumed that wrecks would work the same. Otherwise, everything we see would be permanent and unchanging; not a very good simulation.

Post 14 is correct...stock terrain textures used at Pearl, but, you can place them where you like. A few years ago I added wrecks in certain areas for the heck of it, along with numerous lighthouses on mountains, native girls, etc....I like all the native girls waving bye to me as I leave Pearl..

Nice ideas Armistead, especially the native girl touch....lol. This has been an interesting & informative/useful thread to follow.

Happy Hunting!

If you're trying some kind of "Real Navigation", these could be very important.

That's when I actually decided to put them in. Not sure it was totally historical, tried some of that, but thought they would look better on land and mountains instead of the docks.
