Tweaking The Typhoon
 
Hi all for the last couple of weeks i have been editing Jhapprich's typhoon.

And while i am not planning on releasing this version if there is enough interest i'll ask the permissions to do so.

What i have changed:
  • New Paint scheme
  • New torpedo layout
  • Bow planes no longer retract
  • Many more compartements and crew
  • Changed the color of the screws
  • Periscope can zoom up to 64 times

The bow planes retract when you load a previous saved game, this is because of the engine.
What i changed is that they no longer retract. Since you are 95% of the time underwater i thought this would be a nice fix.

This is a typhoon for the US side, so i named the Archangel in reference to the TK-17 Arkhangelsk

Enough with the talk :) here are some screenshots, i would love your feedback :up:
Jhapprich your feedback would also be much appreciated.

This look amazing! I look forward to the potential release.

In the event this is released, does it just simply overwrite certain files in the mod itself? :subsim:

it will replace your current typhoon, however if someone only wants the skin they can just take the files needed and add it to there existing mod.

By the looks of what is improved (ie. 64x scope, etc) I'd probably just replace the Typhoon.

I look forward to the potential release! :up:

+1 for this to be released :P

A question, Marka Ragnos. Were you able to get Typhoon's Surface/Air Radar or RWR to work? In my experience, the regular Typhoon (Typhoon Standalone Beta 0.75) does not.

For example, I would get Hydrophone contact and visual sighted aircraft even though my Radar is on continuous sweep so i should, theoretically, be seeing them on Radar first before Hydrophone or Visuals would be able to pick them up.

I have also noticed that viewing the distance radar console the Radar "wave" is all the way near the top of the display instead of in the middle like in other vessels. On the Bearing radar console(A-Scope), the tracking "needle" is stuck at 0 degrees instead of sweeping like it should. And yes, I've made sure that "continuous sweep" is enabled each time i view those two consoles.

EDIT: nvm got it to work, just had to modify the upc files for both the sub and the conning tower related to the Radar and now the Surface Search Radar works properly

I know it has been awhile since you were talking about releasing the new mod for the Typhoon I am highly interested in it and will pay if necessary
