That has to be one of the best 'interactives' I've seen. Thanks for that link!

[Buster_Dee]

I think it's the best I've seen. I can't imagine how it is done. I spent a couple of hours just trying to figure out what I was looking at (and got about one thing sorted lol).

My first rabid chase was the large trunking that extends aft of the engines and fgoes up to the hull--intake or exhaust? I think the latter; the big valves/hand wheels are about where you'd want exhaust to exit the hull (I think that's the rudder linkage/drive shaft running near the port one--there's a section missing. It picks back up aft and ends up in the rear sleeping compartment). I'm guessing that the intake trunking is the flatish ducting that "starts" above and forward of the engines, contoured overhead. There's a large valve/hand wheel where the ducts join in the center. Parts of the ducting appear to be missing as they go aft and curve down, outboard of the engines, against the hull. Maybe there were filter cartridges there. I have no idea what the big valve between the engine telegraphs is. It looks to be another hull valve, but for what???

What really got my attention was the electric motor controls. The pair seem identical rather than mirrored, so you get the "whole picture" for either one.

I get way too wrapped up in these puzzles.

A really great link...Danke

Thank you very much, Buster Dee ! :hmm:

The middle rocker must be the mechanical injection system. It is probably making two moves as to the single move on each exhaust and intake stroke. Possibly moving so fast that it looks stationary.

You're welcome all. I promise not to steal the thread again....

They are quite a bit "cocked" in the 360 link, so they definitely move in some fashion (I think it was less visible in the static pics).

Why would they move twice? Just interested to hear your logic.

any new animation? maybe a textured one?

[Buster_Dee]

Sorry if I'm repeating a link, but the following site has plans for the pre-war Type II. I don't know enough about how the little boat grew over time (I'm sure it was more than fuel tankage), but I CAN say that it cleared up several things I saw in the "360" tour. Hope it is helpful.

That is one awesome link!

I realize that the focus of this thread is now on the engine room. But I also recall that there was some earlier mention of the original point of the thread, the torpedo room, being transferred to the GWX team. Does anyone have any followup on the progress of a fully developed torpedo room? Although specific information may be closely held by the GWX group, it would be nice to at least know that that work is actually progressing too.

Any news or progres on thise gr8 addons the torpedo and the engine room. These would be the best addon for sh3. And VII tipe u boat would be the top of the hill.
I hope thise mod will kamm too life soon.

hmmm. you DO know the GWX crew likes to tease us all right? They'll say they just got a guy in on the project, but then they will be mum about it. and believe me, work is progressing, thats GWX dude

Sorry, just saw this. Because I believe the lobe on the camshaft will make 2 revolutions in the 4 stroke set up. There would be no way to negate the second opening of this valve but it is possible the valve was timed not to fire fuel on the second open and closing. In fuel injected cars, this is done electronically now. An electronic fuel injector will fire up to 80/second. Yeah, that is fast. At any rate, I do not see any other port on that head to inject the fuel. Being this was a mechanical injector and placed dead center of the cylinder, it could only be the fuel injector.
