1) The strange logic of blocking/opening/closing of the hatch...?

I´ve "borrowed" the dial AoB dial to make the hatch rotate. This dial however is usable only when TDC is switched to manual update. That´s why the new lock/unlock light has been attached above the hatchway. It does nothing then switch between manual/automatic TDC update. When in TDC view the player usually does not care about the hatch rotating. On the other side, when in free cam view the moving of the AoB needel doesn´t bother anyone. So the choice of the AoB dial seemed appropriate to me. It´s called lateral thinking. IIRC there´s only one dial left that does not affect the boats movement and is not child to manual/automatic TDC update. But I didn´t try to use it instead until now.

2) I did n't understand... why (for what) such cameras? what function of these "free" cameras...? ... as example ... the radio operator (player has moved away) is not present on a place, but the radar wheel rotates...?

I´ve always been annoyed with not beeing able to get closer to a gauge when in respective view. Thus I´ve made the views of each officer free. When in any officer´s view, the 3D object gots hidden. But you know how it works. So, when you move away from your station, the officer is not visible, since the player´s the officer at that moment. The wheel does not turn on it´s own when in hydro view. It does only turn when using the hydrophon. But that is unchanged from stock.

3) I did n't understand... for what heaps of boxes with meal are necessary... boxes complicate crew work in this case (command room)... and heaps of open boxes with bread... are nonsense... bread afraid of dampness... Boxes with different tinned food (preserved food in metal tins ... sausage-meat, meat, fish, fruit, bean ...) are necessary... i think ...

Yeah, boxes do complicate the crew´s work. The movie 'Das Boot' however does not really show how much a boot was crammed with food upon leaving port. Every free inch of the interior had been filled with food, mostly hard-cured sausages. Bread has always been stored unlocked, most probably not in boxes/crates. Of course it got damp and mildewed. But that´s how it was. The crew wiped away the mildew. So, nonsense? I don´t think so. Tinned food was most certainly onboard as well. But I didn´t think about that so far. Maybe I´ll replace the content of some boxes with some tin cans.


Anyway, thanks for the feedback, Anvart.

Before you ask, ...



... this has been achieved by lateral thinking too. The lights do not indicate "real" ready messages, but are triggered by certain depths between 8m and 10m.
