History:

1. TypeVII_OpenHatch_Beta
   • NYGM NSS_Uboat7_CR.dat was used as basis for this mod
   • HiRes gauges missing with GWX
   • extracted GWX textures files (Bordinstrumente Mod by OakGroove)
2. TypeVII_OpenHatch_V1.01
   • TypeVII_OpenHatch_HiRes is included, may be enabled separately
   • obs periscope was moved to technically correct position by NYGM, floor housing remained in "old" position
3. TypeVII_OpenHatch_Peri_Stock
   • as the obs periscope in correct position was disturbing the view at the open hatch many asked me to re-relocate it to stock position
   • just an update, no stand alone, enable on top of V1.01
4. TypeVII_OpenHatch_Peri_Correct
   • moved the periscope and it´s floor housing to the correct position
   • just an update, no stand alone, enable on top of V1.01

1. TypeIX_OpenHatch_V1.0
   • TypeIX_OpenHatch_HiRes is included, may be enabled separately

Absolutely smashing.:up:

So is the IX1.0 just the first release or is that sucker already complete because you've learned everything from doing the VII?

Brilliant. Many thanks for all your hard work, much appreciated!

:up:

This mod is the best standalone mod I have ever seen. With GWX 1.03 and this mod I'm in heaven.

THANK YOU!!!

Moin,
I´m just checking my sources for the correct obs periscope location for typeIX and typeII. Stay tuned.

DD

:o :o :o :o :rock:


Thats a hell of goods news mate...
thanks...

God speed :up:

Bonus, as usual great work:up::up:

I just had a thought. Post-SH4 release and we're getting some pretty groundbreaking mods for SH3. I love it!:up:

whoa is that real? Are those sounds added after the fact? I'm guessing.

Sounds added by me, obviously. I wanted to show the fantastic open hatch mod from DivingDuck:rock:with some fun.
I added sounds and simulated footsteps.

Brilliant. :up:

Moin,
I love it. May I use the link to advertise the mod? In a non-commercial way of course, with proper credits.

DD
