95% Sure it's SH4.

The Campaigns (mis files) are very much different though, that alone is a big job, probably SH3 would be easier but SH4 graphics is nicer, maybe he could post a vote to see how many prefer what engine! Or we just wait to see what evolves.

Well, it turns out that SH3 hates the U66 model and has started CTD'ing out of the blue.
However, the good news is that I have restarted the submarine using the Type IX model from SH4. I squeezed in the top of the Type IX hull to give it the old-fashioned saddle-tank look you see on many WWI submarines, including U66. I am straightening the bow at the moment, which is an extremely simple task. Afterwards I will import the U66 conning tower I created and see how she looks in SH4! As for platforms, I will probably use SH4 as long as it is possible to modify the coastline and buildings easily. I noticed severe problems with parts of the European coast in stock SH4; in particular, hillsides that disappear into thin air. I hope that these problems have been fixed (or can be fixed with existing mod tools).

@ IABL, bit of a shame about U66 having problems with your model in SH3! an annoying waste of time and effort!!
I'm glad that the sh4 IX model seems ok, might have to post a thread in the sh4 forum section there concerning the coastlines, like you say it may have been resolved!

I successfully got the U-35 from "Shells of Fury" to appear; now I hope to try using my own subs. IIRC the SOF team never responded to our request to use their models, so I will only use them as a last resort. Thanks for the link, Karle94.

Just wanted to say hello... been a long time... i've been kept busy with comp probs and work on getting my own webstore and site started... i wasn't sure if you were interested or not... but my line of ww1 ships also included a gunnery observation balloon which would have been towed above the ships for shot-fall observation and spotting (aka a "kite balloon")... it's with my other stuff on sharecg... if you would like to make use of it let me know

To everyone who is interested, right now I am in more of a research phase, so there is not much interesting to show.
Most importantly, I want to admit that SH4 still is not confirmed to be the platform - especially since I resolved a major issue with SH3's land textures. Initially, only SH4 could support the huge photo-based land textures I wanted to use (SH3 would crash), but I just managed to do it successfully. Another issue is how badly rendered much of Europe's coast is in SH4 - it was apparently neglected, being a Pacific sim and all. There are whole areas in France etc where mountains are transparent - a very big immersion killer if so much of the action takes place in the Atlantic. If a decision is made to change platforms you will obviously be notified. In terms of models, more work has been done on the pre-dreadnought "Majestic", the U-66, and the cruiser "Ariadne". More details later.
