[WIP] Los Angeles 688i mod 4th fix - Page 10

ETR3(SS) · 10-31-09, 06:13 PM

I was working on it a while ago but had to put the project on hold for a bit. What I changed for the next release so far is all the control surfaces. New correct rudder and stern planes. Also added fairwater planes to the sail. I think that's all that's been changed so far. I'm thinking about changing the texture to an all black hull as well.

Black\Red hull is much prettier than all black. Please don`t change to all black

Marka Ragnos · 11-01-09, 06:35 AM

Or we can choose both? :p

ETR3(SS) · 11-01-09, 10:55 AM

Leaving it optional wouldn't be a bad idea. I'm trying to find out when a boat would get the red paint painted over to black. I know that a newly commissioned boat has red on the bottom but gets painted all black at a later date.

I agree that optional would be the best option, as some of us do like the red bottom, but that being said, its your baby, so you get to choose. Speaking of, any chance of getting some screens of the new control surfaces?

ETR3(SS) · 11-07-09, 01:33 PM

I'll try this afternoon. Just got rid of a nasty rouge antivirus program and wanna make sure its gone first.

ETR3(SS) · 11-08-09, 12:02 PM

Here's a few screenies of the new control surfaces and sail.

First the new sail model.

Fairwater Planes

Stern Planes on Dive

New Rudder and Stern Planes models

I have to commend you on some really good work... those fixes / changes really start to bring the boat together with what I've always thought a Los Angeles should look like.

Karle94 · 11-10-09, 01:36 AM

ETR3(SS) are you gonna fix the pointy bow in this next release?

ETR3(SS) · 11-10-09, 11:25 AM

I've rounded the sonar dome off a little. It's no where near as pointy as it used to be.

I am arriving late to this fantastic project. I hope to demo it to a visiting ex 688 skipper tomorrow, it will be his first look at SH .... and my first look at this excellent project. Is there a chance of getting the sail with the planes on it?

I believe the waterline yard red was left on for trials but generally gone before commissioning.

Thank you so much for bringing the modern sub navy to this remarkable sim. I will test out the 4.2 version ...and look forward to continued development.

Marka Ragnos · 11-22-09, 05:30 AM

Oh and if you are using this mod with RFB and your only problem is no crew?

This can be fixed just add some crew when there is nothing left to choose from then save the game and load it again and you'll have new crew to choose from keep doing this until your happy with the result

I love to play with the ohio class however when the new version of this mod is released .....

Looks great! Nice work!

Version 4.3 will have what you see in the pics above plus a couple of other things. As for the red below the drip line, that one's kinda hard to tell. I don't have a NAVSEA manual in front of me to tell me what the paint schemes were for a 688, Kentucky still had red on her when I was onboard.

Anyways let me know what the "old man" thinks of it.

I actually made a RFB+RSRDC compatible version. That eliminates the problem with the crew not showing up.

Thanks for the reply and will look forward to the next version, I took her out for a trial and sure is nice. Was quite a treat to be topside underway at flank.

My buddy the ex skipper had to delay his trial, i am going to give him my set of disks to try out, he was in the old pre nucs and then in nucs so i think he will enjoy seeing things, but will take some time i iimagine to get up to speed. He is a member of my church and a long time friend, but i had not seen him in a while.... and he is recovering from some medical challneges and i thought this might be a nice part of recovery for him.

thanks so much for your hard work on this. Will there be custom control rooms possibly at some future date?
