I had the same problem when I was into RC planes, but my problem was trying to convince my better half that I needed to rebuild one that I'd flown into the ground a little harder than intended or found a tree with:rotfl:

Thanks for the tip, Mr X. Yours and Mikhayl's creations have been excellent examples of how to set things up. My problem was not having a good grasp of how many file interactions there are that you don't see at first (like the relationship of the upc and the upgrades files). I think it's finally starting to come together in my head (lots of room in there, 'cause it's empty:rotfl
.
What we have now is basically a toy with 2 AA positions, 2 overly large deck guns, 3 1500 hp motors that sound "mahvelous", 4 torpedo tubes (with TBT) and a partridge & a pear tree. She's a lot of fun to play with, but has a long way to go before we'll consider her "complete".
To do list:
- Complete damage modelling and equipment setup.
- Complete sensor setup.
- Possible total remodelling from the deck up
- Modelling of the below decks areas
- Texturing
- Weapons selection/cloning and upgrade evolution
- Complete setup of fuel economy and range
- Rework of wakes
- Try to solve the launch position of torpedos
- Add a third prop shaft and rudder to go with the third prop.
- Adjust firing angles on all guns.
- If possible, add controllable smoke generators for cover.
- Rework of "on board" sounds (she's not a submarine, she doesn't need sub sounds)
Problems:
- Deck and AA guns will not fire on seperate targets (game limitation, I don't think there is a solution other than you manning the aft deck gun or either of the AA guns and firing on a different target)
- AA guns will only fire on aircraft (not sure if it is possible to modify the guns to fire on either aircraft or surface vessels, I know the AI guns will do that, so I'm going to look into that one)
- Anything else that I've forgotten to mention.
Pics to follow in next post
Will probably release a beta to play around with shortly.
