Need advice/help, on type XXI forward dive planes

USS Sea Tiger · 03-06-08, 05:14 PM

Working on a mod,,learnign as I go, the XXI file is good to work from as all the parts are in one file,

The forward dive planes though are giving me a moment of frustration. In game, they rotate out 90 degrees and then function.

I need them already in the folded out position and ready to operate,

is there a part of code in the SIM file or somewhere else that would set them to the folded out position, and operate like a normal fixed dive plane??

thank you in advance

why do you want them to be extended all the time? they were designed to be hidden in the boats body when on surface....

I don't work on subs much.
I don't remember seeing an animation chunk for the planes.
:hmm:
perhaps there is a controller that shows them folded on surface
unfolded underwater?

I'll look a bit closer at this and see what I find unless someone beats me to it.
(Hint, Hint!)
