Here is a first work version of the animated diesel engine:

http://files.filefront.com/Tomi+Engi.../fileinfo.html

It's made solely with keyframe animations at this point. We will have to test if introducing mesh animations (f.ex. coils that stretch/compress) doesn't pose problems with framerate and synchronization.

Another thing: I've made the animation only from the top of my head and based on the odd video I've seen. If people have specific knowledge of the diesel engines and can tell me how much an arm rotates, or have more reference video's, that would we great.

Thanks for the info. I'll make some changes and repost an update.

The question now remains though, which 2 are used for inlet, the outer 2 :?
[edit] Ok, by looking at the screenshots in this thread again, I think we can say the outer two run in sync.

@longam, thanks for the useful videos.

[edit] Another question: do all pistons alternate as opposed to eachother? From some videos, it seems like this is the case... It makes sense since this would keep the most constant pressure on the shaft, but I just don't know for sure personally. In my video I just slapped the same piston in 3 times to give the engine more body but they all run synchronous.

i think it depends on the cylinders...
like if it was 6 Cylinders,
1.the two at the end would fire...
2.then the two in the middle.
3.and then the two right next to each other

1.|_|....................|_|
.......|_| |_| |_| |_|

2.....|_|.........|_|
...|_|...|_| |_|...|_|

3...........|_| |_|
...|_| |_|..........|_| |_|

please excuse me, that took a bit of work... but when i hear Uboat engines, i get a distinct 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3 sound...so that makes me believe thats how they work.

Just for future reference. I never seen this before and it covers a few systems in the u boat 570.

The Design and Specification Books, Volume M (Enclosure B to ONI report) are real interesting.

Here's an updated version:

http://files.filefront.com/Tomi+Engi.../fileinfo.html

Outer two rockers used as outlet, center as inlet. The coils have been replaced with a (quick and dirty) mesh animation. In this video, I've used Sledgehammers suggestion for piston sequence.

Unfortunately, since the capture framerate is fairly low it doesn't look too smooth in the video, but it is in game...

Oh, and don't listen to the sound too much either. It does not run in sync with the animation at all. It's purpose for now was just a bit of ambience...

That looks great, The fast cam lobe response and the 1 2 3 action for cylinders is there.

You have my vote.

Edit: Just noticed the spring compression...whoop
