[REL] Aces' Super Turms v5.1 and Super Pens v5.1 mods.

[Aces]

Hi mate,

I made more progress on the Type 9 and, providing that I don't have any problems, I should have some screenies to post this evening.

I also did some work on the 7b turms again and corrected a minor bug in the type 7 CT.sim file that I introduced in v5 and missed fixing in 5.1.

Cheers

Smart work...finding it hard to keep up with the progress now

Dear Aces:

I have a problem after installing V5.1 of SuperPens and SuperTurms:

I load a campaign via SH3 Commander, with start in the pens of Brest, August 1941.

St. Nazaire in the same time os all OK, but Brest is...well...no roof, no walls, only boats, band floating in the air, only some structural columns and cranes.

I´ll post some images in a moment.

Really, I didn´t remember this problem with SuperTurms v4.

FPS in Brest is high in my PC (40-60 FPS), I think this isn´t a problem of memory. I use- ever- 4Gb Patch. St. Nazaire is all OK and 35-40 FPS.

Please, can you check Brest in your installation of GWX?

Many thanks and best regards.

Hi mate,

Nothing has changed in v5.1 Super Pens is ONLY for St. Nazaire, you will get what you describe at any other port. I re-instated the "St.Nazaire" in the title to emphasise that it is only for this port.

@fitzcarraldo

Exactly as Aces says shipmate, I had the same problem from Lorient with SuperTurms v4. Actually if I remember correctly I think my ol' mate mentioned that he may get round to Lorient some day, before he became ill.

Hi Aces,
In fact, judging by the photos in the cabin stood at least 3 MG-34.
What do you think about this?

Many thanks, Aces. I was thinking about a semi-constructed pens in Brest in the year 1941...

Best regards.

Hey Bisher m8,

You mean like this



I had to edited the CT 3d model a bit, make the MG rack bigger, add one more MG-34 (which like th others disappears when surfacing) and move some crates forward a little so that it looks like this:



Off to bed,

Done enough for one day.

Cheers to all

Hi Aces,

maybe you can fix this issue when you do the IX towers:

If you look at the UZO column, you can see that the IX towers are even smaller than the VII towers

Fixing this issue would be really great!

Cheers, LGN1

[Aces]

Hi mate,

Is it the whole tower that's too small?, in which case by how much, percentage-wise does it need to be bigger?l. Is it too small in one dimesion or all dimensions?.

Aces

[Aces]

Hi chaps,

Okay,

I've been experimenting this morning here's some pics with a Type 9c tower and tower objects that is 1.15 times bigger all round.
I added one of the crew 3d models to try and judge scale.

I haven't tried in game but I see at least two problems. 1. how will the new tower fit on the hull?, does the hull need to be bigger by the same amount?, 2. How will the flak guns etc fit?.

I suspect I'll end up having to make the whole thing bigger.

Regards

Aces

[Aces]

and slightly bigger again 1.2 times the original size:









Kind regards

Aces

[Myxale]

Looks good!
The scale between crew and sub always seemed a bit off.

But if you go ahead and scale the Tower up, then you gotta scale the rest of the sub-model accordingly.

Thing is; most of the Ships will look smaller compared to the sub if you scale sub up.

[Aces]

Yes, that's exactly what I thought mate.

Below the original type 9c1 scaling.

Cheers

Aces
