Just a few problems though, I installed it, and the sail is missing. I can see the planes, but not the sail. Also, the periscope does not work and I cannot go on the sail bridge.

I downloaded it from both available links. Installed it manually and with the JSGME tool.

Does anybody else have these same errors?

Also, the propellers look kinda awkward to me.

Hi,

I am not exactly sure what is causing this problem (the sail/periscope problem). However, cosidering that it is working for others, well it should work for you too, so my question is: are you/ have you been using other mods prior to installing this mod? If so, it is very likely it will not work, because it changes some stock models and settings. I used SH4+Uboot missions+mod (nothing else).

Concerning the propellers I did not understand exactly what the problem was, maybe you could go a bit into details.

Regards!

Nothing wrong with the propellers themselves. It's just that they don't look like the real thing. Too thin and curvy in shape compared to what they really look like.

==================================================

EDIT: I uninstalled SH4, then reinstalled it. I patched it up to the latest version and installed the Ohio-class SSBN using the JSGME tool.
It finally works correctly now.

I'm guessing the reason it wasn't working previously was because I installed the Ohio-class SSBN manually, instead of using JSGME.

Thanks for your help tomagabriel!

Glad it worked!

Concerning the propeller, the (classified) shape of the Ohio propeller is really hard to find anywhere on the web (I am not brave enough to try other information sources ))) ). There is however a satellite photo that shows a glimpse on the shape of the blades. They are rather thin and very curved (and huge). Probably I didn't get it 100% correct, but here is the picture I am talking about:

There is another photo I have in which you can see the tip of a blade (looks definitely like a knife) and can also guess the shape of the blade under a covering curtain (don't know where to find this photo on the web now, I will search in my files and post it if somebody is interested).

From all the television shows, movies, models, and pictures I've seen, the Ohio-class SSBN's propellers were portrayed as being thick and somewhat curved, almost like a spoon.

oops! never really looked around inside, instead quickly jumped outside to check and test

Tambor I guess (not sure right now, I'll have to test).

i am excited about the typhoon mod for sh4 but how do i apply it to the game??? i downloaded it but can not get it to work i have windows 7 and a toshiba computer i have both sh4 and u boat missions and would love to have the typhoon class sub to use if possible i see the person put videos on youtube can someone help me

[gaul92]

This would be my first time modding so how do add the mod to game?

[caesura]

I love the mod for the most part. The boat is beautiful. You did a great job on the graphics and design of it. Thank you so much.

I'm running a clean install 1.5 gold edition with no other mods but this one.

I had a couple of issues, one that I fixed and one that I can't figure out how to resolve.

1. When I was running the boat at periscope depth with all periscopes down a wake was appearing above the boat. I fixed this by changing the periscope depth in the NSS_OhioSSBN.cfg file from 25m to 26m. Now it runs with no wake.

2. I have noticed that when returning to periscope depth from a dive below 200ft that the boat passes above the set periscope depth and pops out of the water, and at high speed will bob up and out a couple of times before it settles to the proper depth.

Is there a way to fix this? It also happens on diving. It will dip pretty far below the desired depth and then rise and fall a couple of times before evening out.

I would like a smoother transition to the desired depth. Is there a way I can fix this? or do I just fire my pilot

Thanks for making such a beautiful boat, and I hope you can give me some insight into how to resolve this issue.

[Marka Ragnos]

this is a problem with most boats going faster then 13 knots.

The only way too avoid this is lowering your speed to 5 about 5 knots.

You don't want your nose sticking out when you are tracking a task group :p

[caesura]

Ok, Cool I guess I can manage the ascent rates by only going up to 100 ft and then going to periscope depth from there when at high speeds.

I thought I saw someone asking about this before, but I didn't recall seeing a reply... Is there any plan on getting the ICBM's to work on the Ohio class like they did on the Typhoon class?

I would love my Ohio even more if this was possible.

Oh, and any idea what files I could edit to make the torp storage capacity the same as the typhoon?

Thanks for your guidance.

Thanks for the Hard work !!

[AndytotheD]

Can this stay submerged indefinitely, like the real thing?

[AndytotheD]

Also I can't get the sail to work. A re-install didn't fix it either.
Any tips?
