[REL] Historical Prop Rotation Mod

Historical Prop Rotation Mod v1.1

Updated 1/23/09: Updated for TMO 1.6.3

SH4 suffers from 2 bugs regarding propellers:

1) The propellers for all US subs spin backwards.
2) Also, on many models the blades face the wrong direction in relation to the props rotation.

Until now there have only been "bandaids" that corrected the blade direction, but the rotation remained wrong. Thanks to skwasjer we can now have a true and complete fix.

This mod does the following:

- Adds a new 4 bladed prop model to the Gato and Balao classes as per historical accuracy.
- Corrects propeller rotation for all US subs.
- Corrects blade orientation in relation to rotation for all US subs.

Additional changes specific to Trigger Maru:

- Removed all (huge!) prop textures that resided inside the .dat file from old prop mod. New textures now reside outside .dat file.
- Tench class also received new 4 bladed prop model.
- All other classes returned to their original 3 bladed models as per historical accuracy.
- Also corrected props on AI Fleetboat.

Credits

- skwasjer for solving the rotation issue and the most excellent S3D editor.
