| From 0.0.15, the data files are packaged with the rest. From the DFTD website, you need to follow the links to SourceForge, as if you were going to download an earlier version. You'll find 0.0.15 there. |

These are some screenshots from a test with a high-detail sub model.
The texture mapping is not correct in all places because it was a quick test, I have just convert the model and put it ingame.

That looks so cool I hate to complain, but, with that much detail, where's the watch crew?  |

Personally, I'd rather not see any people at all in a subsim, at least until computers are powerful enough to render them looking and moving (and sounding) as realistically as the machinery. Until that day, 3D AI humans standing around will always lower the overall immersive quality.
Just one person's point of view ... |

| I partially agree, Floater, which is why I put in the clown (meaning me). In an external view that detailed, though, it might not be that hard for a good artist. At long range they wouldn't have to move. |

I have a problem wtih a missing dll file. Its called...... fftw3.dll
I cannot wait to be able to test your sim.
btw, my pc's specs are 2.7 Ghz 64 megs of video, 256 megs of RAM (EEK!) I heard stuff of 110,000 poly models, but am not sure if this will work on my pc.

that was just some kind of stress test to see what the engine can handle, the original models are lower in polycount than the one's from SHII  |

this looks very nice...!!
at the risk of looking a bit of an idiot tho..i need to ask exactly which dll packs i need to download... i have downloaded what i thought were the correct zips for windows but have obviuosly not got the jist of it...am seeing a message saying SDL_NET.DLL not found..
ok no worries found it
http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_net/
and it's the windows binarys set that i need for the FFTW.3 dll am i barking up the right tree...?
ok im in as far as the correct dlls are concerned
what i need now is to know if the game is an OPENGL game?
as it opens then causes and error in"unknown" then closes ressetting the desktop resoloution etc...this might be an issue with my VooDoo graphics card..any pointers.....i notice the model file format is 3ds althought i can't model directly in 3ds, i can convert the product of the modelling tools i do have to 3ds so it would be fantastic to have a subsim that i could model for..even if just for my own amusment...
edit!! dang it i am thick today!! says on the main site it's opengl
ok ive tried using the normal Voodoo side step for opengl and stopped the error message but it's doesnt load the game
the console errortext file gives this information
!ERROR!
Video mode set failed
any body got any exerience with danger from the deep and voodoo cards? |

| I downloaded and got DfD working, but the menus are incredibly slow. The game seems to be missing some graphics too. Will double check the DLLs etc, and look for new versions, but just curious if anyone else is having speed problems? Running it with ME on a 1.4 Ghz P3 system. |
