TypeXXI GWX

Paajtor · 05-03-07, 10:07 AM

Thx for that link...I might give it a try.

Btw, UBRS worked now...I downloaded a skin called modern_type21skin.

preview:

Compared to Fubar's work (which has only tga's that go into the textures-folder), this one has a couple of .dat-files, that go into the library- and submarine-folders...it's JSGME-ready, though!

This is actually the 1st time ever, that I climbed into a XXI!...and I have SH3 since release, lol.
I used SH3Commander, to get one in the 11th-flotilla at Bergen...I expected to get it in April '44, but it only showed up, after I selected July in SH3C (?).
So we departed on July the 2nd (my birthday is the 1st of July...nice present, haha), which hopefully gives me around 10months of combat-time.

OMG, this thing has loads and loads of torpedoes...and all advanced equipment is already installed! It's really the latest of the latest stuff.

The downside is, that upon leaving the Norwegian fjords, there's already 3 taskforces being reported outside...
Normally, I avoid any confrontations with these enemies, but now I'm drawn to them like to a magnet LOL.
Just watched my boat zipping by the F12-cam, submerged, at full speed

One advice, if you're going to start in this Uboat: use SH3Commander, to change the # of days spend in base between patrols.
I picked 1 day, because this career will already be short enough.
...if things work out like I'm planning.

It's something else, if you finally make it to the XXI during a long career, though.

This skin is great.

It even has a decent view from inside the flak-turrets.

I know the coloursheme is hardly historical (compared to Fubart's Dunkelgrau51), but taking this boat out to war is pretty fictional anyway...so I go with this beautifull matt-black:

@GWX-devs: I was able to clock a submerged topspeed of 21kts (!), using the Schnorkel...
Allthough I read, that it could travel submerged at nearly 18kts for a short period of time.
And one other thing: the RDF-loop isn't raised together with the radar-antenna (see image)...at least, not on that game-load. The 1st time I loaded this boat, it was working, but while using Fubar's skin.
Could it be due to this custom-skin, which was made by changing some .dat-files?

Certainly is!

I'm actually surprised the Radar is working too.

Paajtor · 05-04-07, 02:11 PM

Right...:hmm:

But it shouldn't affect the working of radar and/or radio, correct?

Btw, I have a screenie to prove that topspeed, if you don't believe me.

Paajtor - I like the look of that skin - where did you get it from (i.e care to share

)?

danlisa - would you consider extending that offer of help to a poor old man like me as well?

It's on Uboot.RealSimulation.com (UBRS).
Click on UBRS DLC, and scroll down to SH3 Skins...it's on page3, called ModernType21 Skin.zip.
DLC registration is separate from UBRS.
The skin is JSGME-ready.

A few notes:
- tower-emblems don't work with this skin
- custom pinups either, not on this Uboat-type anyway
- RDF-loop doesn't raise

A tip: use Fubar's Elite Uboat Crew Uniforms for this skin...really gives the final tough.
