Hello CPTHolberg,

I'm afraid I have to dissapoint you.

For a start, only VSTEP can add ships to the game. If you make a model that is good enough, and if there wouldn't be too much troubles with the dynamics, there might a chance for people to see their ships in this sim. But only if it is up to standards and only in cooperation with VSTEP.

But..

Secondly, Google Sketchup models will not be good enough. To have a chance at all of getting a model in the game, it will have to be made with a decent 3D modeling program like 3DS MAX.  Sketchup models just won't do unfortunatly.

Regards,
Fred

Mad Fred is right about Ketchup. You need to try another application like this one :P
