[REL] Type XXIII sub...

Those screen shots look incredible!

Awesome work you've done here, guys.

Any idea yet on when the XXIII will have all the bugs worked out for a release? :hmm:

... Thanks !!!
I think which we about still 1-2 weeks will need!! I hope the colleagues agree me!!!

Meisterarbeit Tomi!

The level of professionalism is amazing!

Well, the next we need a DIESEL SMOKE Mod !!!

Alternatively you can keep it but set the visibility of that prop to "0"

Great MIKHAYL !!
Thanks for Halp !!! DANK DANKE !!

Who is this litle radar on the Left back site ??
If you have idee ??

@Tomi:

Die Plage des Tunis-Radar-Hörers auf dem Typ-XXIII kann in der Datei 'basic.cfg' entfernt werden.

Vergessen Sie nicht bitte das Problem mit dem floatenden Radar-Hörer vor dem Schnorchel (sehen Sie das Bild).

Auch, vergessen Sie bitte nicht, die Zentrum-von-Schwerkraft des Bootes herunterzulassen, um das Schaukeln vom Typ-XXIII in einem Sturm zu reduzieren.




[The nuisance of the Tunis-radar-receiver on the Type XXIII can be removed in the file basic.cfg.

Please do not forget the problem with the floating radar-receiver ahead of the snorkel (see the picture).

Also, please do not forget to lower the centre-of-gravity of the boat, in order to reduce the rocking of the XXIII in a storm.]

New changes !!

Hello

I am working on some small WWI U-boats and have this same rocking problem.

How do you lower the center of gravity please t stop the rocking??

would be of great help to know

Thank you
Mike

@Mikhayl:

I've tried your method for fixing the propeller that is cutting through the sides of the Type XXIII conning tower.

I have made the necessary changes to the NSS_Uboat21.sim/dat/zon files, and also the basic.cfg file to remove references to the propeller that no longer exists.

It all works perfectly. The trick is to remove the *starboard* (number 1) propeller (also called 'NSS_Uboat21 Propeller R') from the files. Retain the port (number 0) propeller. The 'port' propeller can be seen rotating away happily in its central position at the rear of Tomi's Type XXIII.

Thanks very much for all your very knowledgeable suggestions, Mikhayl. You've been a great help.

After my last post...

Unfortunately:

Removal of the starboard propeller appears to have a drastic effect on battery recharging times, whether the Type XXIII is at schnorchel depth or on the surface.

The Type XXIII with one propeller diminishes the battery capacity at the same rate as with two propellers, but recharging is terribly slow - more than a day from 50% charge.

So, we shall have to try Mikhayl's other idea, to make the starboard propeller invisible.

What about making a minimal size model for the 2nd propeller and then place the shaft and propeller exactly where the other one is? That would superimpose the visible propeller/shaft over the invisible one, but no nautical characteristics would be changed :hmm:

Or just make the second propeller invisable.:hmm:

I think that would be difficult. A problem for Tomi, not me, anyway.

However, as Mikhayl and Wolfhunter have suggested, it is actually much easier to make the starboard propeller invisible. No need to change basic.cfg, for example, and fewer U-boat files to alter.

I've made and tested these changes in a full patrol with the Type XXIII.
All works fine, the propeller cutting through the rear conning tower can no longer be seen, and battery charging has been restored to its original fairly fast rate. So that is a complete answer.

[EDIT: Mikhayl, my post crossed with your last post. Your suggestion that the possibility of damage to the second propeller showing in the repair screen is a good point.]

Unfortunately I can't say the same about the centre-of-gravity problem - again, the solution thanks to Mikhayl. I've lowered the centre-of-gravity for the Type XXIII from its original 1.9 (metres above hull bottom) to a value of 0.1.
No visible benefit, for retaining the crew within the tower during strong winds.

I have a feeling that this problem will only be resolved by making the displacement of the Type XXIII much larger than is realistic.

Thanks !!
Owing to very much!!
A very much important information!! :hmm:
I did not remember!!
