I'm new
 

hey all, i just joined last night. I definately like the silent hunter series...my favorite is sh3, with gwx3 and a few other mods. I actually already have a question, im not sure if this is the right thread or not, but i was wondering if there was any mod or ability to separately control the engines in sh3

Welcome aboard!

If you mean a mod that will let you control the starboard and port engines independently of each other, I don't think so.

thanks!
yea thats what i mean, well sad day, lol

Oh, stick around, I could be wrong. :D

But I'm pretty sure the possibility has come up before and I don't remember anyone ever finding a way to do it.

Welcome aboard:yeah:
There is much to learn,and friends to meet:salute:

Welcome to SUBSIM :up:

Welcome! Remember to close all hatches before diving. The inside isn't as waterproof as you'd think.

haha, thanks everyone! yea i figured out the inside wasnt waterproof on one of my first outings on sh3...getting stuck with 4 destroyers close to Pas-de-Calai isnt very fun, and depth charges don'y help keep the water out, lol

Welcome Aboard!:arrgh!:

I don't think you can control engines like that in SH3. I believe it was looked into early on whne the game was released, but it is hard coded.

Welcome to the family :DL

So far there aren't any mods that allow you to have complete control over your engines. Will need to use the external cam and see, such as a knuckle turn where you would (irl) run one prop flank and the other one full reverse to help you turn faster, I don't think the game does that for you. Think it just puts the rudders to max port/starboard with both engines moving synchronized.

And that is something that wasn't done in real life either, as by the time an order could be transferred to the engine room and one engine clutched into reverse you would already be turning the other way. Reversing engines is only used in port, where extremely tight maneuvering can be planned in advance.

Welcome aboard :salute:

I'd like more control over engines, like running electrics on the surface... :cry:

Welcome aboard!:arrgh!:

Welcome Aboard!
