I know it doesn't show the wheelhouse or ship dynamics, and it's bound to have errors SOMEWHERE, but at least it could be a start for VSTEP, if they want the ship in the game.

Hmm, that wouldn't be bad at all, to have "Big Fitz" in the game!
I'm a big fan of the Lakers, with (ofcourse) the Edward L. Ryerson as my favourite.

Agreed. It would be great if the 2nd and 3rd most famous ships in history (RMS Lusitania and SS Edmund Fitzgerald respectively) could join the 1st (RMS Titanic).

Very nice 3D model! Let's hope the developers can put some time aside for this one. We'll need some Soo Locks as well . . .

Not only the Soo-locks, Jan, the whole Great Lakes District would be nice.  ;D

i would love to see all of the American Steamship vessels, along with many other lakers, with lakes trade routes including silver bay MN, to cleveland ohio, then up the Cuyahoga River (having to wait for drawbridges and such) would be spectacular, being able to see a digital rendition of my house as ive sailed past it several times on th MV Buffalo (AMSTEAM) and the MV American Spirit (AMSTEAM) would love to be able to pilot the sc river, st. mary's and detroit river just like i do in real life!!! love my Ship Simulator, sad fact is, when im not in the pilothouse of the ship, im usually in my room playing shipsim. lol!!!!

I feel that the Fitz is another huge chunk of my history and I'd fell alone without it. :(
