I'm assuming it's some kind of bug but I have no clue what's causing or how to get rid of it. It started showing up as soon as I upgraded to the ix3 conning tower. Below are 3 screenshots of it and my modsoup, if any of you pros can help me fix it I appreciate as always.

Figured it out, when I add the Radar to the ix3 conning tower this bug pops up, don't know why but as long as I don't use Radar it isn't there. So if anyone else ever gets this bug that is the cause of it.

@Enjoi:
Your diagnosis is correct.

This was a bug in the original stock SH3, which caused a rotating radar (eg FuMO30) placed in position 1 of the conning tower (ie, designed for the FuMO29, which was intended to be fixed to the front) to rotate through the conning tower. You must be using a 'Type II turm' with FuMO29.

This bug has been given temporary fixes by all the super-mods, but in different ways. None is very satisfactory.

I made a hard-code fix some time ago, but this required ALL turms (including those altered/created by other modders) to have changes made. There was so little interest that I kept the hard-code fix for myself - most people seem to prefer decoration to functionality. It would have been supplied as part of the Stiebler hard-code patch. My fix also caused the radio d/f aerial to stop rotating with a few turms.

Thanks Stiebler. Ya I'm definitely a Form over Function kinda guy too but I do care about functionality as well. Just glad I got rid of that God awful bug ugh.

The FuMO29 is the only one that does this. The other radars will show in the correct place.
