I have since fixed the red striping and some of the uv on the interior scope head

Still working on that light and the lightmaps... wings3d imports what I want with no drama, but doesn't move it around the way I like.... I might have to revamp some of the models so they work in wings *ugh*

Anyrate! every time I "fix" the light, I get a floating black square between me and the light, or the light is shining through the grating around the light, but not the light itself... Any pointers on how to mount these things? or should I just go lift a light from something else?

Nice MOD!

Thanks! Right now I'm working on some better uv's and that blasted light bulb... I've got some leads, though, so pretty much all my time not spent playing SH3 or working is going into that

I made a really pretty CT that the game wouldn't open (all I got was a big empty space above the control room), so I'm going to try to re-make that :P
I also got the light to show up on some objects but not others, so I'm troubleshooting that lol

Thanks for all the support, guys!

A much needed addition, thanks for your work!

So it seems that the type II u-boot had an "observation size" periscope in the conning tower? Interesting. Is it historically accurate?

It would make sense. Not much room there!

IAW the drawings, the attack scope was a single-piece scope like the obs. scope.

I really wonder if they didn't use the increased turm size for IID to install a larger CT and depth independent scope... Although there still isn't much room belowdecks...
