yes, the "circular tube" I notice that in the game but is "inside the tower" can be used by an upgrade? :oops:

thanks for the information! :salute:

Radar

That's a DF loop. It's not used in the game by default and DF is generally simulated by the random map contacts you get.

It's raised animated in both SHIII and SHIV mods though. I suppose it might eventually make it to SHV as well. It doesn't do anything other than spin in the game - I don't think there is any mechanism in the game to make actual DF functional as it would've been in reality.

[edit] Nope, not radar. Just a direction finder to catch the exact bearing from which radio signals are coming from (from ships at sea for example).

If you stand in front of it, it also works like a heater. :yeah:

Edit: if it were radar that is. DF loop though does nothing cool.

Gah! I knew that! Just checking if you guys knew it. :O:

I just noticed something Dowly. I have exactly 2x less posts than you right now :o

[edit] nevermind my math is wrong. Oh well.

thanks to all for the info! :yeah:

hope a mod will add the DF animation or maybe something more complete like this one for SH3 GWX 3 :cool:

thanks again :rock:

Pretty damn cool diorama there ! :yeah:
