....with any luck this will be out by the end of the week with the mod being modded to have burning fuel around the ship as she sinks. Personally I think this is the best smoke mod done thus far. Since the "Author" is still working on this I'll just post some screenshots to show Ya'll what he is working on. Enjoy!!

..I COULD ONLY WISH I COULD MAKE A TANKER LOOK  LIKE THIS!!!!
 







...as I said, as soon as this is released I'll be sure and grab it for anyone that is interested. I just did a full format of this box so I am lacking in some software I took for granted(or forgot to backup!) I'll have to get the info for the TX-FTP so I can upload the mods for SH3 there if there is an interest.

GEEZ LOUIZ CUDA!!!!Getting me all ornery with those screenies!!!When ya gonna be online???  I'm jumping on in about a half hour....need to learn how to navigate properly before i jump into this online....

...After the format I still need to get comms loaded. I'll do it in just a bit but not sure if I can TX or not. I am re-loading apps one at a time so that I can determine what it was that coused me to have to do the format in the first place. BTW, I was wanting to make a historical mission that has to do with the U-Boat crew that came ashore on Galveston Island in 1940. I had always hear about it since I was a young kid interested in the German forces. After the fall of the wall it turns out that there were some records found that confirmed that the Kapitan and several crew of a U-Boat came ashore on Galveston Island in early 1940...picked up some supplies...sampled the nightlife...and then escaped undetected! ...The mission I want to make is 1940..have a sub come to Galveston...shell the island...then take the tankers that were leaving the port, as well as the refineries in Texas City. There are some older folks I have talked to that were in the merchant marine that were well aware of the U-Boat threat just off the coast of Galveston...in the GUlf of Mexico. Looking at the map that comes in the DVD case for SH3 I see that most of the shipping from Galveston was headed straight to South America...and vice versa. This makes me think of where my grandfather was during the war after 1942. He was in the oilfields off Maracaibo,Venezuela supporting the war effort by the oil that they were drilling and sending via tankers to Texas City to be refined into the gasoline and other petroleum products that we sent via tankers off the East Coast to Europe.....footnote: My Grandfather was instrumental in the design of the first equipment that was able to bury pipeline in the sands of Saudi Arabia. He had several patents on the pipe laying equipment that was dragged behind old Caterpillar bulldozers that went from the early refineries to the Arabian Sea. Once he showed me some really old gold coins that they had found while laying the pipelines. My Mom has then in a lock box at their bank. They were B.C. dated...in mint condition and she still has the bag that he found them in.TX-CudaMinister of Information
