Come to think of it. Seems that the makers really didn't care for the Type XXI with all the problems/incorrect equipment. Ie. - batteries don't fully charge, radar warning gear problems, and so on. Is there more? :-?

bat recharge and snorkel mast were the only bugs im aware of.

Bat recharge we can (and have) fix. Snorkel mast requires a schitt hot 3d modeler i think.

Only other thing i can thnk of is the dive planes not rigging out. But i suspect this is purely an asthetic issue, i seriously doubt the game is modled to such detail that it will differentiate between bow planes being rigged out or not.

Thanks Ducimus. :up:

Been debating if I want to try my hand at skinning some camo jobs on some of the U-boots. I have an old version of photoshop. Is there a website with some tips on making skins?

The dive planes work for me. They're folded/not in use on the surface but the minute I give the order to dive, they come out just like in Sturm's pictures.

thx CWorth for the link.

The download section was dead.But it looks ok now

Thanks Sturm for the conning tower picture, I'm sure fubar will contact you soon.

Grabbing "Ubootwaffe, Marine - Kleinkampfverbünde" by Waldemar Trojca. Going to check out some of the color profiles.

Thanks for the info on the snorkel file guys
I,ve done the XXI skin but I need somewhere to upload it as
the Uboat.Realsimulation.com site doesn't seem to be getting
updated, any ideas?

Have you ever tried filefront?

You need an account, but if you don't want to deal with that, you could rapidshare the XXI skin to me and I'll host it on my filefront account.

Not to my knowledge but this should get you started:

Bow planes get stuck in retracted position in campaign when you save the game while submerged, and reload the campaign later on. Not always, but often enough .

Thanks Ducimus for the info on your post.

Thanks Marhkimov I've uploaded the XXI skin at filefront heres the

Ok fubar...here's a request for two skins (when you get the time). Checkout this 1/72 scale U-boat type VIIC. http://hsfeatures.com/features04/u552cw_1.htm
The work this guy does is amazing. These are the colors he used: "The decks of the hull and conning tower were painted with a mix of 60% Tamiya XF-24 Dark Grey and 40% XF-64 Red Brown. The conning tower and hull sides were painted with a 50/50 mix of Gunze H324 Flat Light Grey and Tamiya Gloss White. Unusually for Gunze acrylics, the light grey was genuinely flat, and in fact the Gloss White did not effect the flat final finish."

You think you could do a type VIIC with this scheme? and/or another Type XXI with that same color, like the large model XXI in an earlier post? That would be awesome.
