@XPETIT

i just downloaded your modification of the 688 le terrible. great job
but ive got one problem how do i end my patrol.i dont get the possibebility to end the patrol. the symbol does not come up when iam near the port.

[WilhelmSchulz.]

I know Im late to the party but for the "plot" why dont you dig up a copy of Tom Clancys "Red Storm Riseing"(the book) because they have allready made a sim out of the sub aspect of it(I belive it even had a semi-dynamic campaign). You could get some good ideas from that.

Hey Xavier.........Just some info for you, the older 688's are the ones with the planes on the tower..........on the 688i's the planes are larger and they couldn't mount them on the tower because they wouldn't be able to be turned vertically for ice penetrations when surfacing through hard pack..........

They also have a better towed array and 12 vls tubes that the 688's didn't have.

Thank's for those information. It's real that when I saw "The hunted of red october film", I didn't understand why the american sub had plane on the tower and was call Los Angeles class....Now I know why.

I have modify a little the sub Le Terrible to be more like the real french sub. You can download it on my web site (I use JSGME installer to use it on SH4). I hope you will have fun with it.

In futur, i will make some little modification (hide the radar and move upper the sailor on the tower). But now, I try to load a Typhon class. Because, this work need 3DS in the first time, and I have no lot of time with my free version.I would like to replace the 627 by a 941 type sub....With that, we could play like The Red October.

Greatings

Well guys,would be nice to take into consideration this mod seriously,working mainly the submarines aspect on a full way.Developing 1 or 2 sub classes from US vs URSS with all its characteristics,3D atmosphere,realistic or close to sensors and weapon systems.Also a reworked SH4 scenery could be desirable in order to update ports and naval bases to the current age (even though some more detailed terrain data is welcome,to give more realism to meshes like fiords,channels,straits,harbours and its elevations).
With this done,more vessels could be developed including now surface ones,frigates,destroyers,cruisers,and carriers with a certain number of their air wing fully able to manage and operate.
This could be an amazing project for next year guys

Regards and Marry Christmas

Hi,

Like promise, and for your christmas week, I release the RedOctober (Typhoon class) on my netsite (http://pagesperso-orange.fr/xavier.petit/):

http://pagesperso-orange.fr/xavier.p...RedOctober.zip

(I use JSGME installer to use it on SH4). I hope you will have fun with it.

It's sure, it need some some update and I will make them. But the actual result is good. And It is compatible with my French sub "Le Terrible".

Have Good times

Thanks a lot Petit,

As a matter of fact, I was playing with your Le Terrible today. Must have sunk 8 or 9 ships (incl. a Kongo). 20+ torpedoes is nice Unfortunately I got rammed by a friendly cruiser returning to port and sank. Sleeping watchmen


EDIT: Petit, I can't seem to get the Typhoon to work in campaign. I copied the Le Terrible campaign files and renamed all "688i" to "627a", what am I missing?

[XPETIT]

OK. I will look at this. And , the RedOctober run with singlemissions? Have you a matter of texture? Because for me it's fine.

[tonibamestre]

Hey good job Petit!! What do you tell me about conventional subs like Dolphin,Agosta,....etc? Perhaps the torpedos could be modified into modern ones.

I'm sure it works it Single Missions its just there are no campaign files included like for Le Terrible.

[Sledgehammer427]

beeeeecause you have to go thru every included file and change "x" name to "y" new name...typos aren't tolerated of course, and hairpulling is frequent

[Rene]

to play the redoctober in campaign you can transfer the campaign files from the november class to redoctober. it works. i did it and i play now the redoctober in campaign
