@ Angeldust
The typhoon is coming (I hope soon) and as soon as it will be available I'll post the donwload link for you as usual.
The 500 meters limit is something still related to sh3 that remained in sh4. I think it must be a limit of the game engine because i could not find anything to mod for this. Probably it's hard coded.

But keep in mind that it is dangerus to dive below 1000-1200' because the depth you have under the keel is not the same everywhere, and if you'll go too deep you'll be hitting the ground continuously. I have set my 688 to a 1500' normal dive depth (quite realistic, 460meters more or less) and i had destroyed my sub at least 5 times. I had to rise at 450 very often to avoid mountains. Of course it if sufficient to check the D.U.K often and react accoridngly, also a realistic navigation may be funny for realism-lovers.

If you follow the instructions on the previous page it should work. At least it worked for me.

I'm having a little problem myself,It seems The Electric Boat Co. forgot to add a little item at the shipyard to my Gato!!!!!!!

I'm not sure when this bug crept in,I was not able to add the modded subs using JSME so I installed directly to SH4 folder,So far it's only the Gato class missing the conning tower.This is from War patrol mode.

Any ideas or help would be great!!!
Thanks

Angeldust · 03-25-08, 06:54 PM

yup. it worked since the time i realized that i can't put the sub in the game alone but have to replace another... now i'm having fun hunting japanese destroyers and nailing them to the seaground

ehm.. anyone of you know how to change the sub's name in the campaign?
even one who knows the correct number of the movie- "USS Dallas"?

Take it easy!...It has a better aerodynamic coefficient now. Less fuel consumption and more speed.

It's a beauty...isn't it?

Hi,

I have the same matter than Badaboom. Since I have install manually the sub, 688i, 627a and LeRedoutable, the tower of gato and the tower of LeRedoutable are disappear in the game. And during the game, I can't go to the tower view in LeRedoutable.

But curiously, I can see them in the museum whereas the tower of 688i is not the good one.

Is there anybody who know how to solve it?

Greatings.

Hi mate, and welcome on subsim forum!
I had the issue with the french Le Redoutable as well. Personally I had not the problems with other submarines, but the mess in the museum section is quite "normal". That's because turrets and equipment change through the war. And the museum shows turrets and equipment of '43 '44 only (I do not know).

Are you using other mods??

XPETIT · 03-30-08, 01:17 PM

Thank's for your welcome Andycaccia.

I don't use other AddOn. But I will test in mission during 1943 or more to see if I find the same result that in the museum.

Do any of you Skippers use the mod SH Editor?If so is it easy to use?
