I have kinda a weird question. I was checkin' out the Panama canal today and saw this:

Your standard joe-blow cargo ship. Well is there any way to make whatever M$ used to represent that ship into an aircraft model...err boat model? I know it's odd, but it sounds like fun to drive something that big. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Did you make sure that you typed in the letters exactly as they were? The code is case sensitive [I think]. And did you include the extension *.jpg as well?

It's great to see many people participate in creating models other than aircraft. We already have enough airliner and military jets for the moment.

Making a tanker should be easy. However, I feel that a tanker addon should also have a port to live in as well. Just as an aircraft and a car need parking spots.

The above link takes you to a webpage that provides a great repository of Max Scripts for Gmax. Just in case you need any.

I am with Katahu. Personally I would like to see the port of Houston, Texas modeled, but considering the size, it would be a large project. Either way, great idea Katahu.

Thanks Bombardier! :D

Realy hate to be arrogant, but making ships is child's play for me, providing the downloader has Mark Walsh's PT boat in the CFS2 Misc section (for the airfile and aircraft.cfg).

I'm getting onto that cargo ship. I'm afraid I won't be able to do a BIG cargo/tanker one unless the you wanna download the GC British Tanker from www.groundcrewdesign.com.

Yes, Saratoga, the download will come soon :D
