[REQ] Flag on the deck

[The General]

Nice work DarkWraith

I have always wanted to see a flag on the Subs. Historically, how often were these flown? Just in and out of Port?

this probably isn't historically correct in most respects but it's something I want and some others want. One should customize their game to their liking You won't be able to control when the flag is visible or not - it will always be visible but will 'disappear' as you submerge.

That's zero problem for me. On the model, there's already an empty flagstaff at the back of the WinterGarden though, right?

most of the subs no. That's why I had to make a jackstaff. Now I have to add this jackstaff to the subs that are missing it. The 2A has a jackstaff. Is it a jackstaff or flagstaff? I should be calling it by it's correct name.

Now reflections for the flag are going to be a bit tricky. I tried making them reflect and got some awful side effects on the screen. I don't know if this is going to be possible or not.....

Maybe Jackstaff was British terminology because of the Union Jack?? I get seasick in the bath and know nothing of Navy life .

DarkWraith you do fantastic work and thanks for doing this . I personally could live with the fact that there's no reflection but understand if you wanna do the best you can before releasing yet another teriffic Mod.

Technically it's a flag staff. The jack staff is for a second flag, or jack, and is mounted at the bow.
[quote]10. (Naut.)
(a) A flag, containing only the union, without the fly,
usually hoisted on a jack staff at the bowsprit cap;
-- called also union jack. The American jack is a
small blue flag, with a star for each State.
