Thanks MCHALO12, you have made typeII men very happy.

and stupid question: will it work with IId also?

Yes, because all Type II Subs use the same Interior (...data\Interior\NSS_Uboat2)

Best regards,
Magic

Hi Obltn Strand,

as Magic said all Type II submarines use the same interiour.dat, so the mod works with all variants.

Best regards, MCHALO.

Hi Folks !

Here are some Screenshots from me (click to enlarge).

Helmsman
 

Hi Kaleuns,

some news from the Torpedo room: I added the missing helmsman, in order to make this possible, the LI had to be moved. The interiour now has a very narrow feeling in the command room. Work is going on.

Best regards, MCHALO12.

Very nice. Some questions:

1. Did the Type II actually have a wheel for the helmsman? I ask because the later boats had small levers to actuate the rudders, rather than a wheel.

2. Will we ever see an engine room to go with it?

3. Will there ever be an SH4 version?

4. Is this version with the helmsman updated on the first page? If not, where can we download it?

The pictures look great. I especially love how the boat feels more alive with the extra crew members visible in the torpedo room. (I am hoping one day we'll see something similar to this with FM Interior for VII...some extra idle crew members hanging around off-shift sleeping or playing cards)

My only criticism is the lighting in the torpedo room looks very harsh, as if there's a studio production light somewhere in there that we can't see. I'd tone down and soften the light quite a bit, making the light from the illuminated bulbs do the work. With a u-boat interior, I'd err on the darker side rather than the lighter.

down load issue
 

i cannot get any down load links to work, any ideas please

Vesikko has a wheel but it is loacated port side front of navigator's desk.
Later models are a mystery. Not very much interior pictures of type IIs.
Quess it wasn't media sexy enough for Döniz's propaganda troops to board.

@ Sailor Steve:

1. Yes, the type II actually had only wheels to actuate the rudders and did not have electric actuators like the type VII.

2. Yes, the engine room will be included when Tomi_99 finished modelling it for SH4.

3. This interiour is mainly converted from Tomi_99's SH4 version, with some additions like the helmsman done by me. So for SH4, the original version of Tomi can be used when it's finished.

4. No, the version of the first page still is the Beta. The new crew members will be included in version 1.0 which hopefully will be released soon :)

Thanks for all the work MCHALO12! It looks really cool.

Is it possible to use the same technique to add a helmsman to the types VII and IX interiors?

Thanks for the answers. I look forward to the finished version.

Hi NewCaptain,

Yes of course, those crew members can be added to any type of submarine. And as you can see in this screenshot, more are to come in the torpedo room:

Important: All added crew members will be static objects without animation in Version 1.0! Creating animation, especially of human bodies is quite difficult, but the goal definitely is to have animations in later versions!

Best regards, MCHALO12.

Thank you for this mod, hopefully more to come !!

Looks pretty cool.
I like.

Hi Kaleuns,

again a new crewmember has arrived in the type II:

I also did some minor fixes, so the crew members in the torpedo room finally got their playing cards:

Working lights:

I think now it's time to release version 1.0, it will be ready before Christmas.

Best regards, MCHALO12.

@MCHALO12

MCHALO12 I dont even care if this sounds queer but I love you for making this! Looks SUPERB! The Type II is my favorite boat and I had been wondering why no one had ever done this! You my friend are a god.
