Pooh - now I know where you've been! Quietly lying on the ground modding turms and pens. Great thx for that new one - and pooh again! Tons of rocks fell from my heart...

Just left St. Naz for the 4th Feindfahrt of U69, means that I have to wait untill return (hopefully) before I can try these new pens and turms. But before I even try - some little questions.

Q1 - watcha mean with "widescreen _GWX3.0"? Is there a widescreen mod out there that I don't know? Gimme gimme!

Q2 - I'm sailing with a 7c2 Turm, your "FM's Turm 7c2 Lightmaps add on" is onboard (installed after your "Multimod compatability fix release v1.3" and with all the "must have"-mods you named in the readme). With my old 7c1 Turm I had the "Turms Your Way" emblem for the U69. But changing to the 7c2 this emblem doesn't show up correct any longer. This might be intended, cuz the emblem was made for a 7c1 turm. Can I do something there "the easy way" or do I have to create a completely new one, fitting to the 7c2?

Q3 - is there still some traffic in the harbour at http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show....php?t=174381? I would understand quite well if you finished posting in your newsthread, cuz there was a lot to do with the new pens and turms. But maybe - if there is a minute or so of spare time left - you can take a look there. Would be a great pleasure to hear from you...

Q4 - are dogs allowed onboard my boat? There will be some salami waiting for him when I return. Maybe he's doing the next turn with us...

Grüsse!

Hi mate,

A1. Yes there is a widescreen mod, I believe it is stickied at the top of this page else you can seach this forum it. There is also at least one widescreen GUI for it too.

A2. I think you'd need to do a new emblem to fit the Turm 7c-2 as the 7c-1 placement is different.

A3. I will post the same news to my "News" thread

A4. I think you ought to clear that with BDU. There's plenty of salami on my boat too .

Cheers

A1 - Aah, you meant Rubini's masterpiece. This one I knew, but unfortunately it's made for a resolution of only 768 pixels height and 16/9, while my screen is 1050 pixels high and is a 16/10er. Means: the picture can fill the screen (if I allow my graphic card to do so) but then it's blurry and a bit egg-shaped. So I have to stick to my very old Hi-Res mod (you know, that ooooold d3d-thing with the new dll) and play in 1280*1050 with black stripes to the sides. No problem there - I'm used to that. And no critisism against Rubini - he and his mates did a great job.

A2 - 'kay, I'll look for a new one or edit the old one by myself, if I can get into that. Can't be THAT complicated. Thx for clarification.

A3 - saw it! So I was only a little too fast...

A4 - next Standortmeldung will be followed by a request to the BdU concerning dogs on board.

And now for my next little question:

Q5 - Do you know where the distance to the harbor is defined, within which the watchmen don't "watch" but "admire the view"? This must be kinda circle around a defined point at the map. Inside this circle the pennants can be shown by raising the obs scope - you know, Anvart's flag and pennants and things. Leaving this circle makes the pennants simply disappear. Usefull so far, but at St. Naz (when using BigBoyWooly's lovely new harbour things as requested by you) this invisible border between "inside" and "outside" the harbour is that close to the pens that I cannot really boast with my successes at sea when slipping into my home nest. I wish I could at least keep my pennants up from when I reach the lock! The price for that would be that no one warns me of an airborne attack. But: when crawling at 2 knots with 10 meters of water under keel - of what use would a warning be? So if there is a chance to increase the distance to the harbour - please gimme a hint, if you have one.

And now: sail on, ol' chap. This one is gonna be a chartbreaker again!

Grüsse!

Hi chaps,

Thanks for all your comments.

@Haipppen:

A5:

I'm sorry but I don't know what determines this distance, I'm sure someone here will know though and I'd b e interested to know myself.

Now for some news.

I've made the uniform changes kindly pointed out by Urfisch to both super Pens and Super Turms mods. I've also made a few very small tweeks and also testing one new feature.

I'll most probably release v5.1 versions of both mods in the near future.

@Fubar2niner:

LOL mate, yes it does give crew rotation a new name, currently playing around with this option.

Kind regards

Aces

Edit: @Urfisch

[Salvadoreno]

Can i just run Aces Super Trums v5GWX Version by itself? I think the others might be to much for my pc.

I ran Aces Super Turms by itself and had no CTD. But the crew never showed up after Shift+D. The watch officer gave the order, but no men.

[Aces]

Hi mate,

Yes you can run super Turms 5 without Super Pens 5.

You will need this mod installed BEFORE Super Pens 5:

ftp://hartmuthaas.no-ip.org/Volume_1...g&Pens_2010.7z

You will need to login to his site,

Goto this thread for login details,

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=171019

You should then try it with a Type 7C-1 u-boat. I will work on other boats in the near future.

Der gehört dann aber in die Kombüse...

[urfisch]

great work!!!

3 small things:

- the breast eagle was not on the leather clothes, only on the blue and white uniform
- the medals where never worn on leather clothes
- the uboat war badge you used is from ww1

[Aces]

Thanks for the info mate,

I'll try and get it right next time around

Actually I'm pretty delighted with that, if all my problems are texture problems then they're easily corrected.

Cheers

[mr chris]

Little question.
Do you need to have this Mod.
Anvart's Flag and Pennants and DF Antenna (GWX_DFa-Flag&Pens_2010).

For Super Tums v5 to work?
If so does anyone have a link for it? As the links in Anvarts release thread are all dead.

[Aces]

Hi mate,

Yes you do require it,
