A while back someone posted a .50 caliber gun. It had no ironsights or crosshairs and could only be mounted on the sugar boats, but it worked. I'll try to see if I can find it...but it was probably posted on Filefront, and that means it'll be gone by now...

it is gone

but the narwhal is very much around

Since the sub appeared to be black/dark blue through the whole war, I think it only needs one texture. or should I make one for the start fo the war, like in it's Pearl condition (like in the recent screenies, rusted, so on,) and, say, around mid 1942 she gets a new paintjob?

I think I should spell this out, just to be on the safe side
Texture 1, Dec 7th-mid/late 1942. Black, salt marks, general rustiness from lack of use
Texture 2,mid/late 1942-VJ day. newer, but still slightly rusty dark navy blue

Np got to help donate so you guys can win the prize money. Also realized off and on over the years I have visited the subsim site and finally this year I joined after lurking here off and on in at least the last 8-10 years. Hopefully my math isn't off.

yep, but am now at work

did you d/l the new .dat (seen in the pictures here above) that includes the additionnal 4 tubes ?

[Sledgehammer427]

Yeah, but its a lotta work moving all those nodes where I want them again you know ,

I'll have to write them down on a sheet of paper and go to town on it later

you could always try and paste all the nodes I created in the latest .dat :

texture nodes
3d nodes

etc...

easier to open yours on one half of my screen and copy paste the XYZ values

either you do it or I

will do then.

btw how do you like the new .dat with the torpedo tube model ?

If we could find a way to fire them at a 25° angle and set them to turn after then I could place the tubes at their RL position and angle.

Had the same problem with the Class T submarine's non reloadable tubes.

[Sledgehammer427]

maybe you can try rotating the tube door?

theres that option in S3D, right under node positioning

to give you another idea about the color

as for the rotating the door : why not ?

Actually quite a few classes saw the installation of additionnal tubes :

Perch
Salmon Class...

maybe that would need implementing ingame ??

but I can't try that till tomorrow : am not home tonight
