I still want to change/improve : - the periscope view : a view through a WWII french periscope would be tops, one through a later (1950s) would be ok - I still need to make the turret change texture at the same time (July 1, 1942) as the hull and tower - I need to change the torpedo picture in the loadout screen : the smaller torp is ok for the v24 but the v26 should be a long thin torpedo - I need to make a TMO patch for her too Any and all constructive criticism is welcome, people just venting off are not ;) this mod would not have been possible without : the sponsoring of Hautpoul on the forum mille sabords who payed for the Surcouf 3d model on Turbosquid the unrelenting help of my dear friend Peabody, who selflessly made the twin 8 inch gun and helped me tweak the various versions download Surcouf v 1.6.5 : http://www.mediafire.com/file/c0jw53...uf%20v1.6.5.7z regards, Keltos |
She's a biggie that's for sure.

YOU'RE THE MAN !!!!!:up::yeah: |

keltos,
I have never seen this boat. She is friggin huge:o |
@ Keltos : I know you sir are going to do some frigging nice 3D modeling job working on this sub :up:
To tell you the plain truth I'm simply sorry this boat didn't look really beautiful... :oops: IMHO that is. :-? I wish you good luck though ! :DL Edit Just for the sake of clarity... What I meant by "I'm simply sorry this boat didn't look really beautiful" is that the REAL sub didn't look pretty (to me). Your work looks mighty fine though, Mr Keltos. :up: :rock: |

Then she was sunk mistakenly by a US aircraft in early 1942, PC attributed to a collision with a freighter... She's the one sub in the movie "Lorelei - the witch of the Pacific Ocean" Keltos |
she's got to be the largest in terms of G.R.T
kelt...if you make this I will love you forever. |
nice 64 dollar model!
it has far too many polys though (even though im sure the loss of the tower and the 6 foot high handrails will prolly loosen that up a little) |
As a fan of big guns, she looks like a LOT of fun to sail. Even if she is butt ugly.

Surcouf Anyone?
So has Keltos or anyone else continued working on this challenging project? I'd sure love to see the Surcouf completed and added into the game. Maybe as another Subsim donation project????? PLEASE SOMEONE WITH THE SKILLS CREATE THIS UNIQUE SUB!!!!!! If i can help in anyway, by doing some research, please let me know. We have playable surface ship MODS and Modern Sub MODS so why cant we have a historical "what if" MOD involving the Surcouf? Say as a Free French Sub operating against the Japs or perhaps an interned French Surcouf used by the US Navy? These are all just thoughts but if we can use an Ohio Class sub in the game why not an actual WWII era French Sub! So does anyone have any thoughts on this?

not for the moment, but since I don't plan to mod/play another game that requires me to be connected at all times, in the future, why not ?

Well Keltos i hope you can manage to build a Surcouf sometime down the road. I have really enjoyed your work along with Peabody's. You two, plus some help from some others, have done your homework and have created some really nice pieces of art/work. Job well done guys and please don't stop anytime soon! If you need any help in researching information for the Surcouf or any other MODS, please drop me a line and I'll try and lend a helping hand. Good luck to you on any/all future projects!:yeah:
P.S. looking forward to your updated polished HMS Truant & Zwaardvisch playable mod. Sounds very interesting:D Jason |
nice one too !

What museum or display had the large cutaway physical model?
