[and only there] is special range - ''CHOR¡¯Y'' - in free translating it
can be only FLAGMAN - it can be next mod : a special insignia for that
matrose...

YES! And then we can model the dancing girlZ that went up on deck first too! And, wow, yes, we can put the crew in nice bright gold outfitZ to signify how special and important it is to raiZe the flag! Yes, yes, YES that would be perfect!!!

And in the meantime gets hiZ boat sunk for failing to notice the Mosquito that's on its final run. :rotfl:

I certainly hope that racerboy considers a more realistic version, even if it is in addition to this "fantasy" of yours Lutzow. Otherwise, I feel he will be losing an opportunity of bringing players on board that like their simulations to well, reasonably simulate.

As I said before, if I could get full control over when the flag raises and lowers, I might use the mod and I guess a lot of other mid+ realism players who don't want the flag raising ceremony every time they surface, might too.

JSCones - all those things which i write above are:
METAPHOR.

I'm just added some colours TO TEXT ABOUT simple rising and lowering flag...
Maybe i have so much fantasy as you said, but you man seems to
haven't a bit of this ...It's so sad.

Yeah, I'm sorry if my fantasies in life don't extend to having someone raise a flag up a pole (although, in an odd irony :hmm: ...).

And yes sunshine, unlike you, *I* do understand metaphor. Seems you don't though...

Anyway, you enjoy your "alternate reality". It's not my place to stop you. But remember to let me enjoy mine.

C'mon guys!!! Let's not start falling out over the details!

I think everyone is pretty much agreed that we all NEED this Mod to finally become reality, in some shape or form. All suggestions of a positive nature are good!

The main thing it actually GET THIS WORKING in a manner that is agreeable TO THE MAKER!! If someone else doesn't like it, then THEY can have a go at creating their own Mod!

Personally, MY ideal "Flag scenario" would see the Flag on a flagpole, positioned as on the real boat, toggle-able (?) by some means.....but also a variable string of pennants, mounted on an INVISIBLE duplicate Obs Scope, that could be raised for returning to port (a la reality!), or raised flying a pirate Jolly Roger, for going into battle (a la theatrical alternate reality!).

No doubt the final result will be nothing like MY idea....but I will respect it, and use it, as it will have been created by someone else for the benefit of the entire SubSimming Community!

The point is......don't argue over the darn thing, when it ain't even built yet!!!

You think, that modders have bad imagination?
You are mistaken...
Modders also pay attention to game features (hardcode) ...

[Kaleu. Jochen Mohr]

say Racerboy... when can we expect the flaggy for the other type's ? :hmm:
would be cool to have it on all subs

Due to many people saying the flag didn't look 'realistic' size wise I set about to rescale it again. This time I imported a band member from the dock so that I would have something to compare it to size wise. The magic number seems to be 45% of the original value.
So how does this look?
