Latest update,

Started work on the USN WW1 ship database graphics.. ;)

[Warship NWS]

USN WW1 ship class graphics are done. Next I will be adding their data into the WW1 database.

[Warship NWS]

Update.. estimated release time frame for v1.07 is around 2/20-2/27.

Presently working on several advanced combat mechanics updates, the USN WW1 database (graphics are done), and beta testing.

Thanks.

Hi everyone.. I am postponing v1.07 until the first to second week of March. Real life and admin duties have slowed me down a bit. I also want ample time to test the updated advanced gunnery combat code being worked on right now. Stay tuned as this will be a fairly large update.

Thanks.

[Warship NWS]

Latest news... the WW1 USN ship graphics and database entries are now finished. We will be testing each of the new ship classes shortly. Next I will be working on the updated advanced gunnery code calculations we are adding to the engine. Sorry this is taking a bit longer then expected - however - work is progressing. Stay tuned.

Thanks.

[Warship NWS]

Latest update.. present time line for release is mid April with the v# now set for v1.1 as this will be a larger engine upgrade then originaly planned on. Part of the delay is having to spend time working on company taxes - tax season sucks - and wanting a little family time during the Spring break.

Latest plans for the update,

a) USA WW1 database - finished
b) Updated gunnery combat mechanics - working on this now
c) The addition of "engine rooms" for all warship classes for increased damage modeling detail - working on this now.
d) More detailed levels of flooding/fire severity - finished.

This is a general list for now. Stay tuned.

Thanks.

V1.1 progress report..I am back coding again after a short break.

We are adding the new data for each ship class that will part of the updated advanced combat mechanics mentioned previously. The USN WW1 database is now "activated" for beta testing once the new combat data is done being entered. I am now working on the new combat code and then we will begin final beta testing.

Rough estimate.. around 1-2 weeks for completion. Feel free to post questions on our open threads.

Thanks.
