[TEC] VIIB Flak Question

[Capt Jack Harkness]

I've just recently tried the 2nd conning tower upgrade for the VIIB, the one with the seperate platform aft of the tower, and the game won't let me equip the second flak gun for that platform leaving it empty! Has anyone else had this issue and does anyone know how to fix it?

I think this is a bug in the Data\UPCDataGE\UPCUnitsData\Equipment.upc file. Some of the flak guns are not numbered correctly so they are not available for upgrades. Let me package some changes I have made and I will post to my filefront.

Try this and let me know if it fixes your issue:

-=[Alpha Download Links Removed]=-

This is a [WIP] and does more then just fix the Flak Guns
- Fixes Flak Gun Upgrade Pack
- Fixes FuMo61 Radar Antenna Upgrade Pack
- Adds FuMo65 Radar Antenna Upgrade Pack
- Adds Raised Rotating Round DF Radio Antenna surfaced.
- Adds Raised Rod Radio Antenna submerged.
- Adds Improved Alberich Anti-Sensor Coating upgrade pack for Type-VIIC and VIIC/41
- Adds Tarnmatte Anti-Sensor Coating upgrade pack for Type-VIIC and VIIC/41
- Adds Improved Tarnmatte Anti-Sensor Coating upgrade pack for Type-VIIC

FEEDBACK: OK, this was downloade 15 time is less then 5 min, so I am expecting some kind of feedback from you guys.

Fixes the flak problem as advertised! I did get a CTD on my first dive though... I went to periscope depth (and noticed this pack overwrote bigreg's real periscope height mod) and it crashed after I hit the keys to fully retract both scopes.

On the bright side, it's amusing to have decoy launchers, radar detectors and the balkongerät on my VIIB in mid-1940.

Yeah the dates are fudged a bit for testing purposes...

Are you sure the CTD was from this MOD?

In the MOD folder you should remove files with the .GR2 extension. I forgot to remove those as nothing in those files has changed. They are only there to speed up load times when editing. I only MOD'd the .SIM files.
The change to the .SIM is for Anti-Sensor Coating suffix, Rod and Round DF Antenna's. The suffix change didn't work from this location as the only thing used from that SIM is the Stats boost to the sub. There is a Coatings.SIM that I still need to edit in order to get a different skin for each Anti-Sensor coating.
