CREDITS:
The bridge-bitmaps are made from screenshot of the frigate Asagiri from Mitsuya?@Hamaguchi (Hama). He has a lot of fantastic ships with complete virtual decks. I have sent him allready several mails, but they where never answered, I suppose, that he can't read englisch. Anyway many thanks for all of his great ships.
Many thanks to all of the creative persons, who do such a great work.
I am sorry, but I do not know from whom all the gauges, effects and sounds are. I have to many.
Thanks to Earl Watkins, who made the shipmodels.
A great job was done by R.L. Clark, with his sound buttons and sound effects. Many thanks to him.

P.S.: If you like to have a Flechter destroyer in camo scheme with many weapons and look around views (no virtual views), then you can contact me. Due to the copyrights I can't provide it to the public. The destroyer is originally for CFS2, but the views are made off screeere.
