Still loading software on the new system.
I haven't forgotten or given up.

This system allows me to take everything on the road with me.

Cool. Just checking in basically.

10-02-12, 04:54 PM

I've been waiting to get my hands on this system!!!

Nice 17+ screen with 1 gig of video memory!
(My eyes are getting a bit funky)
It rocks and will allow me to really do some killer work with little delays.

And it's mobile where the other system was not.

@Alex, check your e-mail

.

More people from the PT boat are getting interested in this project, so keep working away.

yubba · 10-07-12, 12:18 PM

A note on weapons,,found this out in sh3 s-boote after a armed trawler handed me my butt and killed my watch officer, I was quite fond of him, and turned my boat into swiss cheese, but anyway to get to the point what are you going to use as deckguns to fire on ships,, On pt yubba 109 there is the 40's as deck guns, they can light up a jap destroyer,,but I chose a twin 40 in the aft postion to rid the 40 on the bow.

nikimcbee · 10-07-12, 12:53 PM

I'm thinking, mod the 40mm to do the 37 mm.

We still need the twin .50 cal guns though for the gun tubs.

Alex · 10-15-12, 08:16 PM

Just a little post to remind everyone that I didn't forget this project. It has some cool potential. And therefore it would be really too bad not to bring it to completion.
