More and more I have the impression that the measurements I am getting are correct, but I wanted to verify them in order to remove all doubts.
My idea was to change the values of draft in the sim file, putting as draft of the ship the full height of it (as obtained from the 3D model).
Thus, if the measures were correct, the ship should appear immersed and the top of the mast would have to be at the level of the water.
If this happened, it would be an irrefutable proof of the accuracy of the measurements.
But a ship is not a submarine, and it seems that SH5 will prevent it at all costs. I've been trying by putting this value in the SIM file, and then in the cfg file and then in the file of the mission, but the most I've achieved is that the ship was immersed up to half, while the boilers exploded in flames.
While the boilers explode...
...the sailors continue doing their job.
Measures of Liberty's and Littorio's masts that I sent in previous post seem to me to be fairly consistents. Furthermore, the Littorio's matches quite well with the Measures given by Makman.
Makman, could you tell me what procedure did you use to measure it?
Well, I think what comes next is to make the complete list of the 3D models dimensions.
Anyway, I would like if someone comes up with an irrefutable way to verify that the measurements are correct; so, we could terminate a pursuit that has occupied a lot of people for long.
I will start to make the list and I'll publish it here when finished. I'm making it in a spreadsheet of MS Excel, in order to facilitate the work of incorporating it into the mods (by exporting as CVS, etc.).
Good silent hunting, and happy new year.
