What is the "small leak fix" ?

[Lt commander lare]

im not sure its vickers mod i have not used it in along time but the pipes when damaged were leaking even after damage was repaired the pipes would still leak I think im not sure but this mod should fix it and im also not sure but vickers is not a member here anymore if he is then i stand corrected and you can ask him I just reloaded because i saw some member lost his files and I had it so I thought i would upload it for any of the members here to use.

This mod... came to be because Webster wanted me to merge my meagre attempt at 'calibrated gauges' - aka - dials that move and depth gauges with reasonable accuracy and differentiation between the Balao and Gato, using 600' & 450' depth faces with Vickers pipe leak fix mod, because they used some of the same files.

However, a short while later Vickers came out with his outstanding & very beautiful interiors - I was stunned at the detail and the lights. I'm searching for those originals now.

During this time I learned from seeing real pictures of interiors that some Balao class had the 450' gauges and the ability to go deeper than 600'. The crew must have determined depth below 450' using a string stretched across the bulkheads.... lol. Most likely they knew their boat and had a 'feel' for the sounds and behavior of the boat near crush depth ... or maybe they just went below the depth charges and hoped.

Long story short I'd be very happy to find Vickers two original interiors for the Gato class from that time period - 2009 +/- and use them for my Tambor, Gar, Gato, & Balao.

Although I would rather find the originals, maybe I will have to reverse engineer and extract them from a supermod? The search continues!

BINGO :) ....... http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=158706

1. The [REL] notification is for people releasing new mods. We do not repost old mods with that note, or any other.

2. Your link goes nowhere except to an "invalid link" notice.

3. We most emphatically do not have two separate downloads of the same mod. This wastes valuable space. If the link was not already invalid I would have taken this down.

the small leak part is because with any leak its a big spray and he wanted something more realistic looking like slow and fast dripping as well as big spray leaks that will over time change to drips. I think he said there was an issue where once started you couldn't turn off the leak graphic but he switched it to dripping instead. its been a while but let me see if I can find some better info on it.

well he isn't one who went into full descriptions about his mods so a few words is all he ever said about them, for what its worth this is all there is:

hi,
no more forever leaking pipes- for all fleet boats.
works with SteveTRM's damage sounds.

EDIT: also included in Webster's GFO patch, no need to download this version anymore.

Stock 1.4, 1.5 - yes
RSRDC - yes
TMO - no
RFB - no

JSGME - ready.

I apologize Steve.

I deleted the copy of my mod that was a duplicate two days ago or so. It was uploaded by Lt Cdr Lare who didn't know where it came from, attributing it to poor Vickers. In the duplicate (now deleted) was my readme.

Vickers work is head & shoulders above anything before, and especially anything I've managed to do.

Happy Hunting!
