No, since the SH4 engine doesn´t know/handle neutrals like SH3/GWX.

"ALL" Patches are rollups


Install in port





OM v720 Patch 4

Integrated “WAC4.1 SubPen_animated_18.02.2010” into OM.

Change inport start positions to SubPens for units departing Bergen, Bordeaux, Brest, Lorient, and StNazaire

Added “New_Trawlers_1.1” to provide Uboats with some fishing boat gunnery practices in the “Western Approaches”

Added “ScompassMod” which corrects the bridge gyrocompasses and telegraph dials for Uboats Type IIC,VIIA,VIIB,VIIC, and VIID

Added K Class Blimps along with all the historical bases and operating areas. Also modeled the deployment and operations of ZP14 to Port Lyautey, French Morocco in June 1944.

Added Type VIIC “Flak Boats” and the supporting combat patrols from May to Oct 1943.

Special Notes about the Type VIIC “Flak Boats”

- Because of the “short” operational deployment of these boats, users will “not” find them available in “campaign” mode.
- I have modeled the four main operational missions that these boats conducted. They can be found under the “War Patrol” option of the main menu of SH4.
- User can not man the forward “2 cm FK C/38 Flakvierling” because of SH4 game engine issues
- The Uflak Turmumbau does “not” have the ZeeWolf “fix”

Hi subaxe it is possible as I've just been looking at the .Dat file the minute hand is there but the model is facing into instead of out of the clock face and its 1 sided so you don't see it. It should be a case of exporting the 3D model, flipping it 180' then reimporting similar to the fix for the bridge dials, I'll give it a try. If I have a good result I will post here.

P.S. If anyone notices any more dials/instruments/needles etc... that appear to be either not functioning, non-existant or otherwise faulty, message me if I can help I will.

[subaxe]

hi Sammi79, well that explains why i could not see the needle
hope your able to fix it.

I also noticed the new VII flak subs have messed up dials at the top deck.

Hi again subaxe I am just at this moment enabling the updates OMpatch4+OMEGUpatch6, when this is done I'll take a thorough look through all the models and fix anything I can find - the funny things Is as you're fixing things you notice more things that need fixing!
I have successfully fixed the minute hands on the type 7s and type 9s needed it aswell, but before I finalize it I must check through ALL of the files to try and avoid having to do further updates (apart from when people model new subs or variants - therefore new models that may/may not need attention.) so as soon as I am content that I have fixed every possible dial I will [edit] pass the files to Lurker_hlb3 if he wants to include them in his mods.
Thanks for the note about the VII flak subs dials I shall attend to that directly. Anybody notice anymore? please let me know so I can take a look, THX!

[subaxe]

Hi again

Great news for the type VII sonar Clock =)

I dint try the type 9 yet. glad to hear you are repairing it as well.

I'll be keeping an eye out for your mod to test it out.

thanks for fixing all these dial issues, they where killing my immersion.

Hi Sammi79, I've noticed a few things(maybe they are more like requests ):


1. I think the camera axis on the Type VIIC U-flak radar view(F9) is messed up. You can't turn the view right or left, it only rotates as if you were tilting your head. With my limited "modder" experience I was able to change the axis by trial and error with S3D(by editing cameras.dat) but it's far from perfect. Maybe you could take a look at that too?


2. Is there a way to make the Hydrophone view(F8) turn slower? Maybe this is related to the above issue.


3. On the TMO/RFB mods the control room and conning tower follow the sub's angle up and down. I tried to mod that for the U-boats following vickers03 posts here http://forum.kickinbak.com/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=1715 but it seems that the U-boats are programmed different from the fleet boats. I didn't have any success here. Any ideas on this issue?

Thanks!

Ok, just to clarify, to avoid getting into trouble with the people whose files I am editing, I will not be releasing a mod in any form. I will however be passing the edits on to the authors so they can decide wether or not to include them in their next update. Sorry for the implication otherwise but I am new here and I don't want to tread on anybodies toes.

subaxe you are welcome, you will have to wait for the fixes to come in the next OM/OMEGU/OMplot update from Lurker_hlb3 as long as he decides they are OK.

NewCaptain - I will take a look at these issues, If I find anything I will message you.
