You're a silly person. Do you want to make mods because making mods is cool or do you have some specific changes in mind?

i would like to make mods to push the limits of this game and have fun doing it.

Well, I think it's best to start by asking what aspect of the game you want to mod first?

well idk if this is possible but i would like to make a mod that can allow aircraft to be launched from subs like the I-400 class boats did. Is that possible?

thats a tough one but if your thinking to launch it agasinst a specific target then maybe you could turn the plane into a gunshell as far as the game would see it. then it could be aimed and fired at your target but having the plane fire another projectile of its own at the ship to sink it may not be possible.

also if you want the plane to go searching for the target on its own i doubt it can be done with the games limitations on what the AI can do.

as for how to mod the game you can read this and it might help you a little.

Well if you manage to do it I would be more than happy to include that in my Jyunsen B mod v3.9.1

Ok that sounds good. But first we have a few problems to work out. A. What mod program should I use to do this? B. A catapult will have to be added to the stern of the stern of the US subs. C. How will we recover and land these planes or we could make them like suicid planes.

and D. Can we control these aircraft ourselves by using the arrow keys after the launch. if any1 would like to help that would be great!!

Use S3D to edit files http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=119571

I guess if you wanted to launch them off US subs you could make a 2nd deck gun 3D model into a catapult. There are also playable carriers, this would make them very fun. Recovering the planes might be impossible.

I am fairly certain if you do this, you will have to give up the use of your deck gun (?or flak gun?).

Celloplayer5 · 08-18-09, 10:33 PM

Ok thanks guys I'll work on that when I get a chance. Also what is a good program to make career playable ships on?

miner1436 · 08-24-09, 05:39 AM

Maybe it is possible to make the aircraft respawn, after a certain number of hours the surviving planes time out and get re-added to your arsenal, kind of like recharging batteries but with planes.
