Flickering grills on Super Turms IX

[frau kaleun]

Hi all,

Seems like I remember someone mentioning a "flickering" effect where the grills are on the new type IX tower included in Aces' Super Turms mod(s).

I've searched around and now I can't find the reference to it I think I remember, does anybody else remember it or know if there was ever any fix for it? I've got Super Turms v6 which appears to be the latest version and I hadn't looked at the IX before with this mod, and now I'm seeing the flickering where the grills are as well.

In fact when I zoom in a bit it looks almost like I can see "through" them to the moving ocean waves in the background on the opposite side of the boat and that's what is causing the flickering.

Anyhoo - if anybody remembers this issue and/or how it was being addressed or could be addressed, I'd much appreciate any info.

Thanks!

I seem to remember reading that also. I do not remember where it was though.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for! I didn't realize it went all the way back to such an early version of the mod.

From Aces' reply on the issue:

Regarding the engine grills flickering I only get it from distance and I think it's a video issue. The texture is there in the file. You can freely edit this texture if you wish eg. move the grills apart, if so remember to re-do the Alpha channel. The texture is called "Turm9c1_Extra_Textures_Style1.tga" and if you edit it then remember to re-import it into all four of the supplied turm files for the different versions. Actually there is a gap b etween the textures.

I tinkered with the texture a bit already, but I still get the flicker.

I don't know what "Alpha channel" means though, is that a graphics thing or a 3D model thing?

Anybody have any luck eliminating this issue by editing the file somehow or am I just stuck with it?

Unfortunately no. I tried, don't remember how, maybe I don't have enough knowledge. I have the same problem with emblems and this: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...6&postcount=21
