Hi folks,

I've been working on 5.1 versions of both Super Turms and Super Pens.

Here's my latest news.

Super Turms v5.1.

I've ammended the crew on deck textures in accordance with Urfisch's advise.

I've also decided to re-do the Pen Textures a little. All the pictures of the St.Nazaire pens that I've seen are pretty universal in colour, for example as shown here: http://www.ww1cemeteries.com/In%20me...aire_uboat.htm so I've redone them thus:



Now For Super Turms v5.1 news.

I've redone the crew on deck textures for both the beardless and (supplied as an add-on) bearded textures. I will bundle the new bearded crew on deck add-on in with the v5.1 release. I'm also working on a 180 degree rotation option so that they can face either port or starboard as you wish.

In addition to the above I hope also to be able to include the crew on deck feature to other boats, namely the Type 7b and Type 9 boats in the new versions, I don't forsee any problems other than time in doing this.

More news as I have it.

BTW, I don't know if anyone's ever noticed but, apart from haviong different numbers on the front of every pen, they also have different weathering .

Kind regards

Hi Aces,

Thank for replying and i will do some test with the crew i did to see how the FPS maintain because those crews i did have 4 time the amount of polygons that port people have but on the other side i can reduced the amount on deck and also when we hide them the game engine don't calculated them anymore.




Best regards Hans

Hi chaps,

Some news about Super Turms v5.1

I've more or less completed working on the Type 7b-1 and 7b-2 boats and they now feature all the same stuff as the Type 7-c1. They have all the same bridge objects, mg-34s, helmets, ammo drums, as well as twisty pericopes, turm emblems your way and compatability with Anvart's Flags/Pennants/DF Antenna mod etc. and the crew on deck and UZO model rotates to match bearing features. I had to slightly reposition two of the watch crew to accommodate the mg-34s and biscay cross antenna correctly. Also show the new Sub pen texture recoloutration which will be in Super Pens v5.1 as well as the revised c rew on deck textures which will be in both v5.1 mods.

Some Screenies:
































Kind regards

Wonderful news...

Very happy to hear you're finishing up the 7's, and so soon at that! Once again many thanks in advance for your fine work! Greatly appreciated!!

Hi folks,

Some of you might be interested to know that, in addition to the new stuff on the Type 7-b1 and 7-b2 boats, I've added the crew on deck facility to the Type 7c-41, Type 9b, c and d boats as well. I've also slightly increased the size of the Mannschaft on deck to represent the extra crew aboard the Type 9s and also crew on deck on the moored type 9s in Super Pens v5.1.

Regards

Aces

Really looking forward to the release! Thanks for the updates and especially for continuing to plug away!!
