When I try the -trick of the ShipAshe-folder I get a 70% chrash and after reinstalling the backup .ini and .properties it´s a 95% hang! Could you provide a solution please?

[Whiskey_Sierra_972]

I´m sorry Ashe, I tried to install the Warspite, Jupiter and Tribal class to my vanilla 4.10

Did you mod to SAS 2.5 before adding them?

[asheshouse]

You must install SAS Mod Activator 2.5beta.
https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,12162.0.html
Check that the game starts with the SAS Mod Activator screen before installing any ships.

No Mods will work on an unmodded Vanilla Install of 4.10

Mod Activator 2.5beta gives you a new clean set of chief.ini, ship.ini etc.
Ensure you apply the text edits to these.
Do not copy the ship.ini etc from your 4.9m modded installation.

[Flying H]

Sorry, yes I did 2.5 and did the text edit aot copying from 4.9 but I think I´ll start from blank again as it was a farley easy task!

[fabianfred]

This makes a great alternative to the generic KGV or Marat for use in Pearl Harbor missions....much more suitable.

[asheshouse]

A USS Colorado type would be better, 

[rofl]

Beautiful work, thanks a lot

[fabianfred]

should the wake be like this or does it need to start under the boat?

[boogabooga]

Hi all. I'm using 4.09 version but has anyone had this:
