[REL]Calibrated Gato class interior gauges for SH4 1.5 stock

aanker · 01-04-09, 01:08 PM

Someone suggested that I should upload this to FF in case there are other players who use stock SH4 ver 1.5 that might be interested in installing it to their game:

Calibrated Gato class interior gauges for SH4 1.5 stock game with stock textures. Oak Groove's textures will also work. The stock textures are shown in the pdf.

The Gato class interior is used by the T-class, Gar class, Gato class & Balao class boats.

Most interior gauges in the Control Room and Conning Tower are calibrated. The Aft Nav station gauges are changed; the Stbd telegraph is moved right to its position and the knotmeter has been placed where the Stbd telegraph was. The Compressed Air gauges work now.

As usual use Shift + F2 to free cam in the Control Room - also, if you pass through the aft wall near the passageway and up you can free cam in the Conning Tower.

thank you for this

many players play stock or some type of their own modded versions of the game so stand alone fixes are always greatly appreciated.

does this fix the balao depth guage so it properly reads to 600?

aanker · 01-05-09, 03:08 PM

Tough question to answer and explain. No, I decided against it. I really did think about it though:

I have seen interior Balao class pictures that had the 600' gauge and others that had the 450' gauge. At one time I thought they all had the 600' gauge and was surprised to see pictures of the 450' gauge in a Balao.

What complicates it is the other boats that also use the Gato interior - the Tambor class, Gar class & Gato class - could barely reach 450'...... so what to do? I had to make 'a call'.

As you know settings like the MaxDepth= in the NSS_Balao.cfg can be edited to go below 450' and the depths will magically be called out every 20'. Rarely in SH4 have I needed to 'go deep' much below 450' for ASW however.

I do wish the Balao class was a class of its own in SH4 rather than sharing interiors. In real life 'test depth' on the Balao class was 400' but they could reach 600' +. Maybe that's why some had the 450' gauge?

Anyway - that was my thinking.... lol

ok, so if you made the balao guage correctly read to 600 then it would cause the tambor, gar, and gato subs to incorrectly have the 600 guage in their interiors?

hmmm..... :hmm:

Yes, unfortunately they all share the Gato interior in stock SH4. I don't mind - it is a trade-off.

Somebody smarter than me might be able to make a separate Balao interior but I am really new to working with the S3D tool. (it is a fun 'learning experience' ;-)
