One thing I do know is that if you offer unsolicited advice, you shouldn't get offended if the recipient ignores you. That's just the way of the world and transcends all cultural boundaries.

Also any manpower they are wasting is their own choice based upon the possiblity of future reward. I doubt MG will release their SDK's until they are ready to be released. They will just have to deal with that.

Cheers!

wasn't blowing up ships the whole idea behind 'silent hunter'? last time I checked this was a flight sim and was meant to be based on the aerial battles between aircraft....i.e. dogfighting etc, sure more objects are a welcome addition for immersion blah blah.....but I was amazed to see the post on the new ship texture wasn't a joke.....seriously? some portholes apparently don't line up and someone practically has a stroke over it?

I find in my own experience that it's best to know what you're talking about before speaking. Especially in public.

In ship building in general, and with this ship specifically, you don't line up portholes with the ceiling but rather with the deck. In the German minelayer pictured, the forecastle deck is not parallel with the main deck. This creates the effect you are seeing.

A quick google search would have given you all the information you need.


And yes, the mines are fully operational. They are an optional cargo you can load in FMB. You will then set waypoints to drop a given number of mines, which are also working and will explode and damage or sink ships.

The only concession is that all mines will float, which we feel is acceptable in a flight sim.
