Greetings,

Supplied are two versions of the mod (use one or the other, not both at the same time), one with three MG-34 machine guns inside the turm and mounted on the bridge and the same but with 2xMG34's.

The main feature of this mod is that I've re-scaled the Type 9 c-1 turm (conning tower) to make it larger so that the crew on the bridge look in correct proportion to the turm and not bigger as was the case previously. I've also incorporated features of my other "Super Turms" mods such as the UZO model rotating to match the UZO bearing, the lowering and raising of the Radio Antenna (SHIFT+A/CTRL+A keys) and the turm objects such as the MG-34's ammo drums, coffee cup, UZO and helmets disappear from inside the turm when surfacing and re-appear when diving.

The mod also incorporates Privateer's "Turm Emblems Your Way Type 9" mod and a 9c-1 turm emblem template TGA file, Tomson's Dials and is fully compatible with Anvart's GWX_DFa-Flag&Pens_2010, Flags, Pennants and DF Antenna mod.

Credits:

Privateer for his permission to incorporate his Turm Emblems Your Way 9 mod and his MG-34 mods and for all his help.

Anvart for his StateMachine method.

Testpilot for his permission to include his UZO and DF antenna models and textures.

Thomson for his excellent Thompson's Dials v2.0

SKWas for his fantastic S3ditor program without which this mod wouldn't have been possible.

Wreford-Brown for very kindly creating a special campaign file which vastly speeded up the testing of this mod.

Last, and by no means least, my long suffering missus a "modding orphan" with great patience :)

----

Version 2changelog:

Corrected missing outer compass dial on turm.

Corrected missing needle on speed dial on bridge.

Raised bridge camera height to correct for greater turm height.

Have fun,

Thank you Aces!

Excellent job :yeah:

Will it work with any supermod, or is it only for a specific one?

Quite a good question! I am sure that this version will sadly not work for LSH . Will there be a LSH Version?:yeah:

Hi folks, I just did a QUICK test with LSH and it seems to work fine.

I see two problems - I don't know if it is my installation or the mod: the external circle of the compass on the tower is not visible and the player camera on the tower is too low, at the crew shoulders height.

[Aces]

Hi mate,

I will check the compass tomorrow don't know about the camera because I use a Wide angle free camera mod and don't ever play the game so don't ever use the compass on the bridge but if there's a problem it should not be difficult to fix.

Aces

Nice work Aces, hope you enjoy a cold one to celebrate! :woot:

[Myxale]

Kudos maestro!

Will take this baby for a ride. And you, get some of well deserved rest, and take care of you modding orphaned missus.:salute:

cheeeers

[Aces]

Morning folks,

I fixed the outer compass ring and missing needle on the speed dial also think I've sorted the camera and need to tweak it a bit more. Will release v2 of the mod later today.

All the best

Excellent! Thanks :up:

(btw - is there not a scalling problem on type II also? Some of the crew are giant, and some midget)

[Aces]

My pleasure guys 'n gals,

I'll think on the type 2 sometime but there's the remaining type 9 towers to think about first but first of all I need a short break from modding to recharge my 'ol 50+ Y.O batteries.

Here's a few screenies of my Type 9 leaving Lorient:

http://img859.imageshack.us/img859/1029/sh32011050814024646.jpg

NB: If you make your own Turm emblem using Privateer's template please remember that the tower outline is for placement only. Once you have
placed your emblem/s on the front and/or sides of the tower the tower outline needs to filled in black or cutout so that you are left with only
your emblems on a solid black background as any black areas are displayed as transparent.

Thus:

Great stuff Aces:rock: :salute:

Thanks chaps,

I only just found this website, look at the pictures of the turm scaling especially the size relationship between the crewman figure and the turm. I think my scaling was pretty close

I have downloaded and used the V1 of the IXC 1 turm
Everything Ok but the emblem

http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/3039/emblemtrouble.jpg

It became huge and all over the tower.
It is the U-518a emblem from GWX
The same happens when I change the emblem.

Any help please?

[Aces]

Hiya,

Okay,

Can you save your emblem file as a jpg rather than a tga and upload it somewhere and post it to this thread please and I'll have a look.

Regards

Aces

OKAY I have sussed it, the new turm uses Privateer's turm emblems your way, you will need to use the template supplied to make a new emblem or two, see my previous post above. You cannot use old emblems with the new turm.

Regards

Aces

[VONHARRIS]

Ah !
Ok thank you
Will do.

[Aces]

Hi mate,

I will shortly be uploading a version of the mod for folks to test that does not include Privateer's Turm Emblems Your Way and thus is compatible with the existing emblems.

Hi mate,

Good to hear from you my friend. You need to test more as I only did a quick test but it seemed fine in LSH 5.

Yes, I´ll test with LSH (in campaign) when I become a type IX sub !

At the moment I drive in LSH with your Super-Turm-MOD 5.1 and an VIIB (first Turm) without any problems (only little adjustmenst necessary).

To answer your question....its close but the men are still a tad too big.Ok,that said it doesn't work on my GWX with no other mods installed.Any ideas?

[Myxale]

Seems like. The Sh3 crew is quite bulky! (On steroid's more like it! Imagine 45 of those in a Boot:o)

I don't think it can be scaled equally to the crew. At least not 100%
So a over the thumb estimation should suffice!

And beside, the render is smaller anyway,.

Great job, Aces, downloading now...:woot::woot::woot::woot:

A question:

This mod, the Super Turms and Super Pens are compatible with LSH3? Did you make some test? I like to put all these stuff in LSH3; but the CTD are very very frequent...

Do you have some JSGME list with additional mods for LSH3?

Many thanks and best regards!

Fitzcarraldo :salute:

[kurfürst]

Hi Aces,

great Mod, I waited for this for quite a while!:up:
Thanks for your great work!

I have a question which my be slightly off-topic:
Which uniform Mod did you use for your screenshots with the watch crew
on the bridge?
They look magnificent, especially the Kaleun with the white cap!

Cheers, Kurfürst :salute:

[Aces]

@Fitzcarraldo

Hi mate,

I'll think on it and see what I can do when I have time.

The uniform mod is RaptOr's mod (raptOr's uniforms v2) I think, the Kaleuns cap is part of a mod by Vennatore (Sp.) I split if from this mod (his Your U-Boat Commander's uniform) mod or similarly named and made a seperate mod of it for my own usage.

[MCHALO12]

Hi Aces,

great that you fixed this annoying problem! I think the tower could be even heigher. I am 1,82 meters tall and standing on the conning deck of a VIIc, the edge of the conning tower is about the height of my chin.

Of course, I don't know if the proportions still are correct when bigger changes are made, one had to figgure out first were Ubi actually made the mistake that caused this problem!

Best regards, MCHALO12.

[Aces]

Hi mate,

I'm pleased that I've been able to help. It's been quitea steep learning curve but very interesting and rewarding. I don't know exactly how much bigger the Turm should have been I've had to make an estimate and think it looks in better proportion to the crew than before. It's not just a simple, make the turm taller, one has to reposition and adjust lots of other releated things as well so I'll not be changing ths in the near future.

Kind regards

Aces
