Nice one Anvart. :up:

Cheers! man, will try this one out...in the morning :p To tired to even load the game another time :o But 1st thing at sun rise! :up:

D/L'd and read the readme, but I still can't figure out what it is about the hydrophone that this is supposed to fix - my two best guesses are:

(1) fixes the external animation where what seems to be the hydrophone sound heads rotate for a while and then sort of click backwards and start rotating again, instead of continuing to rotate smoothly in the same direction for a full circle; or

(2) introduces dead zone internally while listening to the hydrophone station, if US 'phones couldn't actually hear a full 360 degrees (I think I remember reading that the German ones, at least the early ones, had some dead zones directly fore and aft, but I haven't read anything about the US 'phones one way or the other).

Can you tell us what this mod actually does?

Thanks :up:

bump, I don´t understand what it does either.

Ditto the two posts above.

What does it do exactly?

Thanks.

Good work regardless. :|\\

Thanks again Anvart! :up: :rock:

Seconded; sounds interesting, but has anyone figured out what this actually does? I downloaded it and looked at it and still can't figure out what it's trying to fix, exactly?

I'm sure it's awesome, but maybe Anvart can enlighten us a bit? :)

Thanks Anvart.

those people thanking avart know what this mod does?

Read very closely... :D
Hi, All.
You see that I have written Hydrophone Head. What is it?
It is a rotating head (T-figurative) of a hydrophone located on a submarine deck.
Result of my mod - synchronization of position Hydrophine Head and hydrophone indicator (in interior CT).
Now Hydrophine Head SkipSweep sector angle is ~ 150...210° (was ~60...120°)...
Do you understand?

I think you mean the kind of twitch or jerk in the animation, If you look at the Hydrophone without the mod you will see what i mean. Looks like its skipping 20 frames or something.

Or is it now synchronized with the actual movement of the Hydro controller in the conning tower?

Hey hey...easy does it man. Yea i get it. Its synchronized with the indicator on the hydrophone...wow!
