*********************************************------===INSTALLING BoatParts!!!===-----**************************************
1) Unpack the zip into your gamedata directory.
2) Check to insure there are three directories!  BoatPartsR3, BoatPartsR4 and BoatPartsR5 
Example: GameData/BoatPartsR3/  etc. 
3) If you want the sample Crafts, copy them from the BoatPartsR3 Crafts Directory. Place them into your Saves/GAMENAME/Ships/SPH directory.
4) launch the game

NOTE: sometimes craft files don't like updates, if a craft file won't load or crashes the game when doing so, you may need to manually edit or simply scrap that craft and rebuild it. I know it sucks, but KSP is evolving - sometimes older things develop issues and need to be re-made.


Report any issues on my BoatParts thread within the KSP forums.

The mod is not perfect! I don't claim this is a totally realistic simulation.

Above everything - have fun!

Special thanks to Snjo, who always came through with a tip or two when my brain was overloaded/exhausted!

IMPORTANT NOTES:

The naval aircraft gears are part of the ICE release, you'll need to download that mod for those gears. For mobility on the carrier deck the are the best - you'll want them for sure.

I know there are some issues, I'll revisit the mod after the 0.25 release and try to address some of these again in hopes KSP itself gets some code improvements.

To take advantage of the damage system you'll need Skillful - the damage/weapons mod. Without it the carrier/ships won't sink... ever.
