News Flash: SFC3 ships work in SFC2

Just a reminder cause I can't count how many times people ask me if my SFC3 releases will work in SFC2.

Are size scales the same? Meaning if I were to line up the Excelsior model from OP and 3, would they be almost identical in size?

Well the stock ones might be different Scales  between games.  OP also has that model.siz file, though I know little about that.

The SFC2 Excelsior (FDN) is about 15% smaller than the SFC3 version. The model.siz file should take care of that. Also, the HPs are different (not just the locations but the numbers) and no LODs. It's low poly enough that any current system should have no problems running it. The SFC3 version could be converted very easily though. As it is, it will run. The weapons just wouldn't fire from the correct locations.
