Here's a reskin in a Union Jack paint scheme. Hope it's not disrespectful to your flag.

If so, let me know and I'll remove it. Anyway, hope you like this one.

I am only posting the .dds file for this one.

I like it. I can't see it being disrespectful. But thank you for even worrying about that point. You are a true gentleman.

Oh yes... That one which was on every commercial break. Disrespectful- maybe. Damned annoying- certainly.

Certainly doesn't inspire me to buy CNCF

Really like the paint scheme on the boat there!

def not disrespectful, and again a true gentelman for asking in case it was!

CNCF, you either love it or hate it...or is that Marmite ??

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 28, 2007, 13:00:01 »

CNCF coated in Marmite... Now THERE'S a novel idea.

Stu

dharl · « **Reply #11 on:** October 29, 2007, 09:17:34 »

Marmite is Soooooooooooooooooooooo Wrong

back on topic..is it possible to "paint" the hulls of the vessels in SS 08 just like the union jack patrol boat?

I love the Fairmount Sherpa...but not her hull colour!!!!

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #12 on:** October 31, 2007, 09:25:55 »

No, you can't change them in any way

And what is wrong with marmite?

Perfect with CNCF

Marmite $:-\$

Sorry for the hijack Water Weasel, but this HAS to be done.

What is wong with marmite? The best invention since sliced bread... well, ever, but since you need sliced bread to put it on.

Bak on topic... W.W.: If I supply some marmite pictures, can you texture a boat with it for me, pls?

THAT is the symbol of Britain!!!

Marmite......the worst discovery/invention EVER, spread it on a sandwich.....then throw that sandwich in the bin

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 31, 2007, 11:01:56 »

Whilst not strictly related to shiptextures I do think that you are being grossly unfair to one of the best products of the 20th/21st century.

Marmite.. love it or hate it. Ah well, the more people that hate it the more there is on the planet for me!

LOL at this though. W.W. worried that we might be offended by the use of the Union Flag... and we are actually arguing over marmite instead. Yes, we British are sometimes... unique?

It's a nice texture and you've done a very good job. But, just like the Union Jack, it cannot truly be a representation of Britian because it does not represent the flag of Wales, it's quite an injustice. Don't worry a great big Welsh dragon plastered onto the biggest part of the ship should remedy the problem!

Place the files here if you did a default install: C:\Program Files\Vstep\ShipSim\Actors\act_dynamic_objects
Remember this only work in SS2006.

Glad to see some of you finally found this and thanks for the kind words on the design.

Great work on the ship. And as said before a Gent for being worried that it would cause offence.

Just one point the flag of the United Kingdom is called the Union Flag not the Union Jack. It is known as the Union Jack only when it flies on the Jack Staff on the bow of one of HM Ships. I may be wrong with my next statement but I think the term Britain does not include Northern Ireland (if I am wrong I'm sure someone will tell me) hence why we often hear the term Great Britain & Northern Ireland.

As most of you will know there is no representation of Wales on the Union Flag, as Wales has not been a â€œCountryâ€ since I think about the year 1200, it was made a Principality and was "annexed" to England at this time. Scotland & Ireland joined England to be one Country in acts of Union. The Flag is the red cross of St George (England), the diagonal red cross of St Patrick (Ireland) and the white diagonal cross and blue from the cross of St Andrew (Scotland). There is a debate going on at present in the Westminster Parliament with regard to the Union Flag and should there be some part of Welsh flag added to it.

So endth the history lesson and no offence meant!
