[REL] Historically accurate 4-Bladed propellers for all Subs

kapitan_zur_see · 01-21-2008, 06:57 PM

Hi, mates

Okay some of you already read that... but for the newcommers:

Hi captains!

Following some very stubborned attempts at importing a 3dmodel inside SH4 and making its texture to work, i've finally made it

I've had to deal with certain restrictions so as for now, it doesn't quite match the level of quality we'll be able to reach in a near future, especially regarding how light reacts on the model... But can't say i'm quite proud :rotfl:Skwasjer will know why lol

Ok, as some of you may already knows, US submarines of that era were using 4 blades propellers during war instead of the 3 blades one the devs modelled. So i've modelled one myself and got it retextured. Propellers have now their own separate texture also instead of sharing a tiny part of the hull general texture (hence very low-res).

Subs included are Tambor, Gato, Balao, Porpoise, Salmon and Sargo class
However, for now on, i've not included S-Class subs since i doubt they were fitted with such propellers (being rather used as old training platforms, i think)

Features:

New 3D 4-bladed propeller model
Hi-res texture (1024x1024) for best close-up details
Correct pitch for left and right propellers (fix vanilla model)
100% ROW compatible

After/Before screenies (previous lower-res version)

It's 100% latest ROW COMPATIBLE. All you have to do is installing it AFTER ROW (or ROW would overwrite it...). Use JSGME...

Have fun using this!
Special thanks for Skwas and his fantastic S3D

Well done Kapitan!

We all are proud of you! This is one of the best realism modifications ever made!

Congratulations!!

This is great, nice work Kapitan. Only problen is, the props are now turning the wrong way on my install (using this with TM). As can be seen in the picture in the op, the prop blades are facing the opposite direction to stock. Is it possible to fix this using S3D? which file do I need to adjust to make the props spin the other way?

Dunno... It's probably not inside any subs main .dat files since my mod overwrites them no matter what you've installed before. Could you please ask TM maker? I have TM 1.7.5 installed and it turns the good way for me. Are you sure you weren't fooled by the "blades opposite direction to stock propeller" thing? For me, Left prop is turning clockwise while right one is turning counterclockwise wich, with vanilla propeller 3dmodel current pitch of blades, should make the sub to go backward. Look closely at slow speed and report to me if the propellers movement are opposite to mine because i've modelled my props regarding this movement.

BTW, thank you so much to you all for all those congrats

It's very appreciated!

For anyone interestedthat uses RFB for stock, I checked this out with the next RC of Real Fleet Boat being worked on and it works fine with RFB for ROW, and RFB for stock. If you are running the current RFB for stock, I think it will work with that too. Give it a try.

Wonderful.
