for some reason i don't know where sh5 stores screenshots that i take or even if it does take them. so if someone else can post a screenshot to the angle or multiple angles of the link above it would be great. it is a type7a rudder. thanks guys.

Just open the 7A GR2 file with Granny Viewer and do a printscreen.
Or use Goblin and do a printscreen.

Doh !

@maddogK

did that help?

Yup, I see the SH5 model, but I don't like it, also I cant import the model that contains the braces. I still need a pic showing full rudder deflection to see the rotation axis for the rudder, the granny viewer indicates the brace will be unnatached to the rudder shaft when the rudder is turned fully, which can't be right.

I actually like mine better, here's what I'm working from:

Here's my 'best guess', before I saw it in the granny viewer:

well i was too late then. i captured this photo after the fact. there are no bars. which has obviously been stated. this is where my downfall is because i don't know what your asking me to do now as far as the rudder thingy??

[drakkhen20]

and no that doesn't sound right. well the rudder at full 30 right? in game ?

[MaddogK]

Well, thats the same as I see, I just cant believe the rudder pivot point is that far forward. The brace going toward the rear obviously attaches to the bottom of the rudder shaft, that would mean the LARGE plane on the backside of the rudder moves out from under the hull, and would likely impact the dive planes in a full left or right turn.

<edit> So be it (now I see why they only built 10 of these dogs before they updated them to the B models),
Zooming WAAAAY in, I see the pivot is right where I cant believe, and why I moved my dive planes back a bit that put me in denial (because the prop spinner sits right on the front edge of the dive planes).

Wadda you wanna do Drakkhen ? go with it as-is, or what I 'guessed' at ?

[drakkhen20]

i don't believe they go that far. i watched the animation of the stern rudder moving to 35 degrees and it does pivet on the lower bar and is attached to it. but i did not dive while doing this to see what happens. i'll get back with you in a sec now that i know what your talking about..

[drakkhen20]

no the way the animation is they are far enough from each other that neither hit one another or even come close. even at 35 degrees( full to port). the way you have it designed in your photos its the same clearance.

[drakkhen20]

hope that helped. i'm out for the night got work in the morning. keep me updated on it.

This is the best I have right now.


I'll go through the documents I have to see if I have better images.
DivingDuck has told me he has some stuff on the VIIA.
Maybe even some interior work never released!
Bug him a bit about it all.
