wolf_howl15 Type IXD2 Cable Placement and You

The "GWX - KC Accurized Cables for all IXD2 Conning Towers" Optional included mod and you."

The above mod is found in the optional included "MODS" folder which you can access via JSGME.

In a nut shell explanation, the conning towers for the Type IX U-boats in stock SH3 were badly scaled to allow for a sort of 'one-size-fits-all' situation with those conning towers that we had to rectify.

After ensuring that the various conning towers were properly scaled the "jumping wires" what we have more commonly referred to as "cables" needed to be different lengths.

This problem specifically affects Type IXD2 U-boat captains.

If you will be driving a Type IXD2, you should enable the "GWX - KC Accurized Cables for all IXD2 Conning Towers" via JSGME that you will find that we have already included for you as an optional mod.

What does that included optional mod do?: It makes your jumping wires fit the longer Type IXD2 hull.

What happens if I forget to enable it when I decide to captain a Type IXD2?

Your cables will be too short. Nothing else, except that it might interfere with making nice screenshots.

What happens if I forget to disable the "GWX - KC Accurized Cables for all IXD2 Conning Towers" mod via JSGME and I begin using a Type IXB or Type IXC U-boat with that mod enabled still?

Your cables will be too long. That's all. Your U-boat will look a bit silly... but it won't break your game if you forget to disable it.

************************************************** ***

All that the "GWX - KC Accurized Cables for all IXD2 Conning Towers" mod does, is make your U-boat look more correct.
