Propeller Rotation Directions

06-22-07, 11:57 PM

I just noticed on the Gato when I was testing the Emergency Reverse function that the propellers were spinning in the wrong direction for reverse according to the blade angle.

Apparently someone bungled coding which way the damn propellers were supposed to spin. When I'm at flank speed, the props are spinning as if it's Emergency Reverse (visually speaking). So that kind of detracts things a bit, especially if you're really that attenative.

Your not the first to notice.

I wonder if this will be caught in 1.3

It had better be. On the side, are there any mods that would let me have more freedom with the camera placement? Currently there are "barriers" around each ship that limit how close I can get. :|

I've often wondered why the Devs restricted the outside camera from being to close. Could the camera be coded to get right up in your face ( so to speak ) and then just stop before hitting the rivets? :hmm:

rumors were that this was fixed in the Mod forum, never saw the file though...

There's also something else: the S-Boat's right side propeller does not turn when the boat is surfaced - at all!
