[WIP] Los Angeles 688i mod 4th fix - Page 9

Karle94 · 08-02-09, 02:07 PM

I have solved the problem for the 688.
Used the Le Terrible for positioning and the planes from the Skipjack.

I tinkered with the Ohio sail and fairwater planes a couple of weeks ago but havent had much time to do a from scratch solution. But as a bit of news for all modders, you can place the forward dive planes node under the dat file for the conning tower. Makes lining up the planes much MUCH easier!

I am having a problem with this sub in the campaign mode, namely that you start out with no crew.

Which makes it rather difficult to control the boat. If anyone has a fix for this I would be grateful.

ETR3(SS) · 08-03-09, 11:33 AM

What version of this mod are you using?

Terror_666 · 08-03-09, 12:26 PM

I am using ver. 4.2 the newest one in the download section.
the other mods currently in use are RSRDC_v355 + patch 7 and US medals fix 2 stock and version 1.5 of the game.

ETR3(SS) · 08-03-09, 01:37 PM

Try using the RFB+RSRDC version. The 4.2 version is for stock only.

The TASM is not guided and is very tricky to target and score a hit. Personally I load out my boat with MK48's only, but I leave the option for TASM's there for the player to choose.

Is it not possible or because it will be too easy...?

The next work for this project is being planned! I'm looking at editing the zones and making all three flights of the boat. Expect some model changes as well! I've been off for a while still job hunting and getting into my old school console games.

I've noticed a couple of things that might need your attention if you're planning on making changes to the 3D model of the boat.

1: The bow is, from what I've found in my research, way too pointy. Though its not a simple circle, it definitely doesn't look like a hayabusa.

2: The radar mast only comes out of the top of the sail by a few feet, forcing the radar depth to be so shallow that the top few feet of the sail have to be out of the water to make it work. I have no idea if this is the way things really are, but I somehow doubt it.

3: The bow planes don't seem to be attached properly. Instead of pivoting in line with the leading edge of the plane as in almost every image I've been able to find, they pivot in the middle.

One other thing I've noticed, and I'm not sure if this is a result of the 688 mod, but it only happens when I've got this mod installed (not the other two nukes), is that the game crashes when I exit straight from the game to the desktop. I don't know if anyone else has this happen to them, but it can be a little annoying, though its not severe problem, as it doesn't happen while playing or menuing, just when exiting.

Thanks,
Greg

Yes this has bothered me a lot too. So I'm going to try to fix it for this next release.

Gone are the days of using radar submerged for the US Navy. The BPS-15 Radar is used for surface navigation and contact management more than finding contacts. That's what sonar is for.

I've looked at these as well and have determined that they aren't the correct shape. So the new planes will hopefully pivot closer to the leading edge than the middle.

An interesting problem.

What other mods are you running with this?

treblesum81 · 09-14-09, 03:30 PM

RFB_v1.52
RSRDC_RFBv15_V421
OpsMonsun_V705
OMv705_Patch1
#1 Real Environment mod install
#2 Submarine splash and roll pitch mod with new sound for stock sh4
#3 Carotio camera fixes bugs for the uboats hydrophone for stock sh4
#4 Warships retextured
RCM Imperial
SonarTargetFix2_RFB
Los Angeles RFB+RSRDC

Though I may be wrong, I think if its anything its either the RCM mod or the sonar fix, but I'll have to look into whether removing them stops the problem or not when I get home tonight.

ETR3(SS) · 09-14-09, 04:32 PM

Got the same problem with the stock version as well. A little on the annoying side but it does only do it when you exit the game so it's not that big of an impact. I'll still look into it though. Gotta be something I changed somewhere.

Any word on the next update? Its been some time now and I was just curious...
