Los Angeles Mod for stock SH4 V1.5 (mod version 4.2)
by ETR3(SS)

Description

This is a mod for SH4 V1.5 that adds the Los Angeles Improved class submarine to the game as a playable unit for campaign, single missions, and single patrols.

Installation

1. Extract to MODS folder
2. Install using JSGME
3. Run game

Compatibility

This mod overwrites many files. It is recommended to only use this version on a Stock SH4 V1.5 game only. If there is a particular mod you like that doesn't overwrite anything in this mod you should be fine to run both.

Changelog

Version 4.2 XXJUL09

New Radar system, Periscopes, Sonar, ESM, etc. implemented for mod independence. (What you find on the 688i is ONLY on the 688i)

Implemented ESM to both scopes

Added an Anechoic and Radar Absorbant Coating to the boat

Remodeled the Sail (Removed ladder steps on both sides)

Boat colors changed. Screw is now a bronzeish color. Boat above the drip line is a darker black including the sail. Below the drip line is a darker red.

Bow planes moved down a little.

The MK48 and TASM in the US_Torpedoes512.dds file replace German Torpedoes only now.

Further extended range of Sonar to 50mi

"Trimmed the fat" from the mod by getting rid of unused files

Version 4.1 20JUN09

Fixed an issue with Gato class boats not having their conning towers.

Version 4.0 18JUN09

Russian to English translations in files completed.

Fixed a problem with the torpedo tube doors opening opposite.

Moved periscopes to correct postion in the sail.

Replaced stock scopes with Tomagabriels attack scope from Ohio

Removed SD Radar and replaced with SJ1 SS radar.

Changed SJ1 radar head. Put the rotating hydrophone head on instead to give it more of a authentic 688i radar look.

Moved the radar to forward of the bridge cockpit. Currently the radar head sweeps through the bridge cockpit.

Implemented Anvarts Raising/Lowering SD Radar Mast for the SJ1 Radar.

Removed the TBT by lowering it into the sail.

Tweaked the propulsion system to 688i specs.

Changed location of propeller sound in the dat file.

Increased subs HP, it is a welded HY-80 hull after all

Fixed that Diesel/Electric sound issue with a sound clip from Tomagabriels Ohio mod.

Tomagabriels Mk48 ADCAP's added, no more Mk 14's!

Crush depth was corrected to a more realistic value.

Successfully implemented the Walther turbine system for emulating the steam turbine propulsion.

Boat is now single shaft.

Moved Hydrophone head to the "Sonar Dome"

Renamed and moved equipment and functional systems in boat.

Extended range of hydrophone to ~30mi.

Periscope zoom levels changed. Attack now has 1X,2X,6X,12X,24X Obs is now 1X,2X,6X,12X

Free Camera adjusted (this is WEBSTERS Free Camera Fix)

Made changes to the menu.txt file for the walther system and radar mast.

Tweaked the MK-48 to home in on the targets engines vice the screws, also increased warhead strength.

Issues

Main Engines (aka walther turbines)don't seem to take any damage, not that it matters because they never truly get destroyed even in stock.
Radar mast head sweeps through the bridge cockpit when lowered.
