Can I lower the radar/antenna in GWX 2.1?

supposedtobeworking · 05-08-08, 05:10 PM

used to have a mod that would do this but it was for a previous version and probably not compatible with gwx2.1 .. is there one out there to do this ?

Then you are lucky. I want to have an antenna. I have radar but missing the
hardware on deck.

anybody? maybe there is not a mod released to do this yet for GWX 2.1...

What do you mean the RDF loop!???
Or the Radar "waffle Iron" thing?!

Murr44 · 05-09-08, 01:04 PM

The "Waffle Iron" can be lowered by pressing Shift+R. The RDF loop is always extended; that's if I read the GWX manual correctly.

supposedtobeworking · 05-09-08, 01:12 PM

I really would like the loopy cirular metal thingy to be out of sight and give me a clean view of the horizon. the waffle iron thing doesn't bother me so much but I had no idea that shift R would raise or lower anything. So if anyone knows of a GWX 2.1 mod to lower the circular metal hoop thingamajiggy then I would appreciate it.

This rotating thing is not a radar, nor a gun sight.... Is the RDF detector (radio Finder Location) and allow pick radio emisions and get a bearing in theory, (in the real life, i don´t know in sh3)

I love it because it gives a lot of atmosphere to the game and i supose that dev team planned to do it but finally was an unfinished feature.

good work GWX !!!

Well I hate the damn thing and fortunately for us haters you can download a mod to get rid of it.

It was originally written for GWX 1.03 but it works fine in 2.0

Thank you !! finally, now I think this may have been the one i had originally, but you say it works with GWX 2..hopefully its okay with 2.1, I guess I'll find out

It´s nice to know that there is a mod for remove the loop antenna.

If it don´t work , you can send barnard to the tower with this

Are you kidding me? Bernard would end up sawing his own arm off

I did this but Bernard sawed off the periscope instead of the antenna

It's funny how humans likes/dislikes can vary, I rate this development as one of the best of the SHIII world, to have a clutter of crap on the conning tower is realistic to me, but then again I was born in 1970 so how would I know what the hell was in a conning tower from day to day

Sailor Steve · 05-10-08, 02:45 PM

I agree, it's amazing how tastes differ. I think it's great that there is a mod for people who don't like it, but I also remember all the threads that started "What is that thing in the slot on the conning tower?" And then "Is there any way to raise it?" Can we make it rotate?"

In reality it had to be up or it wouldn't work, obviously. I'm with Venatore on liking the extra clutter. But then I also like the 'Bridge Free Cam' mod, even though the antenna and the crew's heads are in the way when using the binoculars.

Ok - I forget now how to raise it! Turned 60 this last week and my brain cells popped.
