devs, will these problems ever be fixed?

As of 1.5, we still have:

Gauge textures in the Gato control room that are missing
Gauge textures in every interior that are mapped either backwards or upside-down
Indicator needles that don't work right.
A PPI display without all the bearing lines (http://usscobia.com/P2050014.jpg?%22)
A CE who, for some reason, can't utter a proper "rudder amidships" command

Will these things ever be resolved before official development on SH4 is closed for good?

Luke,

I can't answer the question, but most of these look to be graphical issues, so I suspect (based on Ubi's past) that they will leave those to be modded into correction while working on hardcoded issues - like a guage that won't work for example. Most graphical errors have been fixed by some very talented modders as you know, so I suspect this will be the same.

it would be cool if these issues were fixed but....

If this is our list of complaints for V15 then we should be very thankful. Especially considering what this game looked like one year ago (almost to the day)

Look all I have to say on this topic is

Rudder, Rudder :hmm:

It's still an issue of poor workmanship and not testing things correctly. I was part of the 3d modeling community for IL-2 Sturmovik, and trust me, these types of things were not tolerated at all. Yet, a year later, here they still are...

Poor workmanship? Are you kidding me?

aanker · 03-12-08, 06:45 PM

Not poor workmanship but some fine tuning maybe? 1.5 added a lot ... Thanks!

Here is Truk in stock SH4 ver 1.5 (at approx 7N, 152E) ... Looking good, just need the reefs surrounding it and the IJN Naval Base to be complete ;-)

Happy Hunting!

No, I'm not. Would you tolerate that type of thing to last that long in a game you've developed, this far along in the game's life cycle?

If you mean a couple of broken guages and a botched sound file, yes.
