Turm Flags for OM

Estimated Date of Release: When it's done.

Done so far: Type IX, IXB, IXC, IXC/40, IXD2.
Edited 03/19/11: Type IIB, IIC and IID done.
Edited 03/21/11: Type VIIB done.
Edited 04/04/11: Type VIIC, VIIC41, VIID done.

Two versions will be available: 1 Flag on Turm only or 1 pennant on Turm + 1 flag at stern.

Includes flagstaff and ropes. Flag and ropes are not visible when submerged. Model provided by Privateer.

Will include a selection of flags. Pennants will be sporting flotilla emblems.

Open to suggestion regarding the flag/pennant selection but keep in mind one side of the flag will always be mirrored so any writing like tonnage, etc, is not really practical.

Hey since your working on flags I was wondering if you were also planning on moving the flags on ships.

What I mean is that 90% if the ships I have encountered in OM have the flag on the stern of the ship.

Nothing is more frustrating than to spend hours hunting down a ship, maneuvering into a final solution position and even have torpedo tubes open to finally see the flag and its Panama (The last one I saw) or some damn place like that

.

Is this something you had in mind, or just strictly for subs? Either way it looks cool. BTW are those flags historical correct or in lines with Germany's law of forgetting WW2 ever happened?

EDIT: Never mind I guess I didn't see the Swastika first time around.

Nice work Mate!

Did you edit the dds for the triangular Flag?
I could do a new Animation if needed.

Just for U-boats. I'd like to move the flags on all those ships too but from what I'm seeing working on this mod it would be a royal pain in the ass.

Thanks. Yeah all I did was duplicate the model and edit the alpha channel of the second DDS. The triangular flag animation looks fine at first glance but I haven't paid close attention to it. Still just placing the two models on all the U-boats and turms...sigh...

I'm having a little issue. It's not a big problem but it's bothersome. When the boat is submerged and the camera is slightly above the surface looking down, you can still see a white outline of the flag through the water at certain angles. But if you move the camera under the surface that white outline is gone and things look as expected. I'm wondering if I might not have screwed something up. Does anyone know what can cause this?
