Mod Propellors Spinning Backwards

scrapser · 03-30-08, 04:47 PM

I noticed this in TMO and wonder if other mods have the same issue. Not a show stopper but I am curious.

Also, is it correct to have the propellor mounted so the curved edge of the blade serves as the leading edge? This seems weird to me having flown aircraft and balanced and refinished a few wooden props in my time.

The props spinning the wrong way has been an issue since version 1.0 of the game.

ANvart made a fix a long time ago. The only issue is it goes into the dat file and that was causing conflicts with ROW at the time.

Anvarts fix is a old fix, and I don't know if his is still compatible with 1.5 as I haven't checked.

So try the AOTD one for now

Please post link to fix,or read-me for dummies.

That would be straight-up sir.

I'd still like to know if the propellers are also mounted backwards. I've been trying to find some photos of WW2 boats on the net and found this picture of the USS Grunion still underwater in the Bering Sea. If you enlarge the picture you can see that the propeller blades were actually symetrical in shape.
