I think the movie has already helped Keltos a lot he has been working with it diligently and got sounds and lots of info off of it, it is a wonderful resource....

yes indeed, I didn't release it to the whole community because of probable copyrights for the movie : although it is from 1942, it has been digitized by a japanese company.

It is one of its kind, a true documentary of an IJN sub during a war patrol, and they picked one that was also very successful which was also rare at the time : sinkings, night gun battle etc..

The things we'd need are the logs from the I-1 for instance...
http://www.pacificwrecks.com/ships/subs/I-1.html

but over 200,000 pages of the remaining code books, charts, manuals, the ship's log and other secret documents fall into Allied hands
http://www.combinedfleet.com/I-1.htm

where are those pages now ??

and those pictures taken by usn personnel inside the captured IJN submarines in 1945-1946. They must've been released to the public by now, as have the USN reports of the mission to japan in 1946, the original of the pictures seen in those microfilms must still exist somewhere.

Were I still living in the US, I would try and get access to those, but it's a bit harder from Belgium

I asked a few times on this forum if someone from the US could do that for me, but that was to no avail...

I made the depth gauge seen in the above pictures as well as a couple dials taken from real IJN sub instruments sold on ebay last month. My problem is the dials don't show up ingame (dials1.dds) so until I find which ones are used on the german boats, it's no use changing them.
