Lower the bunks in forward torpedo room and put more crewmen in there to make it more lifelike and less like an indoor football stadium - I dont think I've ever bothered to watch they guys load the torpedows since the first time, but always wonder at this huge empty space when playing

Raising direction finding loop

Are any of these things planned or even possible

Regards to all subsimmers

Sadly, all those things are pretty difficult to do, however, most of them are possible.

- As far as I know there is no way to add more crew members, because there are simply not enough way points available for them.

- I have talked to TDW about adding more objects such as food to the interior. He says it possible with Hex Editing, but as you know TDW has a lot of things of his own to take care of. However, privateer is currently working on the tools to do stuff like this, so an easier solution is on its way.

- I am not sure if we can lower the bunks, as that is probably dictated only by the GR2 files and not by the .sim or .prt files.

- If you are talking about the radio loop antenna on the conning tower. I believe that The Beast was able to get it functioning, but he has yet to release it as a mod as far as I know.

So in other words, we can do a lot of stuff, but it is going to take time. And, when it comes to the stuff that I am saying we can't do right now, that may change. Heck, a lot of the stuff that me and BIGREG have done in v1.1 of this mod I did not think was possible when I first released v1.0.
