Also, I wonder if Luke is still around. I think he did the RFB gauges & Interiors and would know about #137 under #128.

When mapping gauges I would put ridiculous values on a few of them, start SH4 and see what gauges moved..... over and over until I got all of them.

I would use this process with Vickers BALAO Interior installed on top of RFB to find and adjust that planesman's depth gauge in Vickers outstanding mod. Probably not the right way but it worked..... a lot of work though.

if its the same guy, LukeFF is now a beta tester for "Rise of flight", I have not seen him post here in a long time.

I had looked a lot at these files awhile back. As I recall, the 165 depth gauge are easy to spot since the numbers 0-165 appear. I also recall the TMO and RFB versions are very different under the skin, so you cant just mix and match.

I had created a mod awhile back where I split the Gato and Balao interior and re-installed the 450 depth gauges in the TMO Gato so it is not that difficult.

Opening up the RFB and TMO files in S3d and comparing them should make it clearer what the problem is.

I am planning to instal Vickers latest mod to my Balao/Tench interior, so I may be able to figure out what is wrong, but that won't be until my sub is back in port from its current patrol.

That sounds like Luke.

Typically my 165' gauges are 15' - 165' and my notes look like this for those... if these are the planesman gauges:

Quote:

----------
#145/v#151 Depth
DispVal Min -134.0 Max 137.0
RealVal Min 4.572 Max 50.292
Command=Set depth
----------
#147 Depth (is #153 Vickers)
DispVal Min -134.0 Max 137.0
RealVal Min 4.572 Max 50.292
Command=Set depth

I know how to make a simple thing super complicated don't I.... lol

I am looking forward to your mod... it sounds great and maybe that will fire me back up into the spirit of things. It is hard to describe losing interest - and - for no reason.

Happy Hunting!

If anyone could come up with a quick fix/patch (if possible), that would be great, otherwise not an issue for me.

As a side note. Luke did incorporate Vicker's Gato and Balao interior into RFB. The interior in question seems to be an upgraded Balao based on the interior of USS Pompanito.As I mentioned, I use Vicker's Salmon/Sargo interior which RFB did not incorporate, and everything seems and looks fine. It has something to do with this particular Balao interior.

Okay to be sure I get this right...

You installed RFB 2.0
You installed the patch? RFB_2.0_Patch_23April2010

You want this beautiful interior?

That's correct aanker. I really appreciate your effort. I hope this is not putting you out in any way. I'm in no rush. Thanks again.
