S3D = Silent 3ditor. I think you can easily find it here in subsim DL section, or with Google. But it requires a bit of practice to get familiar with it...

I guess that you have to lower the 3D models of the scopes in the Turm.dat files. I don't get what texture you're talking about...

I'm not using this mod, so I don't how it works and if what you are asking for is even possible...

Don't use both periscopes at the same time !

Go into a scope view and raise the scope slightly but that its still black and you cant see anything.Then go on conning deck and you will see the scope head has been raised out of the enclosure so you should be able to see.....but when you go back in scope view its still black.

One other thing since you know your way around S3D editor.Is it possible to have it so when you enter a new view you have control of camera?This bothers me to no end!

What I am talking about is when you say click F4 to go to conning deck you then have to click the mouse button to take control of the camera.Its counter intuitive though and would feel more fluid if you had control at each new view as default.

VPHC (very probably hard coded)...

Yeah I thought same thing just figured I would ask.

If anyone ask for, I can explain how to speed up the work (there are 12 turms to modifiy + the XXI type... so it makes 26 periscopes...)

To Mister_M: That would be great. I finally found S3D and will try to do the modification. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
