true....we could use some hold-over ships

merchants too...a few could pass for 1960's era stuff...granted that the "modern" merchants would become "old" merchants...

Verdamt!

Some times this game is really spastic! Now I have a problem with the depth keeping! Every time I get below 200 meters the boat won't stop, it just continues downwards until it's crushed....and my test depth is >300 m!. Has anyone experienced this before?

Ok mates, the's pretty much finished at this point. Is there anyone that can take the 3DS Max model I've made and get it in-game?

To-Do List:
Pull the bow up a little to give the forward deck an upward slope.
Round off the top of the con tower's tail-end. Too much of a sharp angle. (Done)
Give the forward end of the con tower more of a bulbus shape. (Done)
Add the rail around the base of the con tower. [This one is proving a bit hard. I'll see what I can do.]
Pull the stern in a little. The hull looks too long. (Done)
Increase the beam further aft. It looks too tapered. (Done)
Pull in the bottom corner of the stern to let the rudder stick out just a little bit. (Done)
Edit the hull's tumblehome. The ballast tanks didn't quite hang on either side like saddlebags... give the hull a smoother appearance up top and round it off more at the keel. (Done)
Cut out the respective areas in the con for the crew, hatch, periscopes, radio antennas, and snorkel. (And the little windows in the front) (Done)
Add the tie-offs along the deck. [I looked at those pictures and realized that there wern't any.]
Actually cut out the missile silo hatches and create the missile silos in the con tower. (Done)
Cut out and model the torpedo tubes. (Done)

Any comments? I'm sure there are people out there that'll pick up on a detail that I need to add/fix.

Great work Franklin

Franklin Van Valkenburg · 03-24-09, 05:53 PM

Thanks for posting that photo! (I see the fittings along the deck! And a detail on the con that I've missed thus far!)

As to the K-19's number... what is it? I've seen 294 and 271. I know the number I've put on the con is completely wrong... its just for looks at the moment.

How detailed do you guys want this? I've seen the hatches in the side of the con, but I don't know if they are truly needed.

Franklin, Looking at your 3d model, you are doing good, I should suggest, however, that you make the prop nacelles a little smaller, they are looking kinda wingish.
heres a picture of a K-19 model I built still on the sprue, note the size of the nacelles, left, about the middle under the deck peice (the oval-looking peice)

another pic, look at the bottom, theres a size refrence

Great video! Amazing work on the Skipjack!

Thyro!

Looks amazing and stupendous!
Congrats!

Where can XPETIT typhoon mod be downloaded?

Is there anything special about installing this mod?

Is it adequate to have SH4 1.4 or you need the 1.5 U-boat missions add-on to activate the Typhoon in gameplay?

Roger_Becker!

The waves and splashes on the video around the USS Skipjack are quite authentic.
Great job!

XPETIT mods are in here mate http://hosted.filefront.com/XPETIT/

I can't confirm (coz I use 1.5) but I don't remember to have seen references to 1.5 stuff, so think all of them would work on 1.4.

install XPETIT's typhoon mod then install the Typhoon FX files.

The FX for Typhoon+LeTerrible is initial work so prety much work in progress... Ohio is taking most of the time atm.

Regarding the USS Skipjack - TomaGabriel deserves all the credits, not me!

Cheers
