How to get type IX D2 deeper in the water?

kurfürst · 05-15-10, 11:29 AM

Hello kaleuns,

this may have been asked by someone before, but I couldn´t find an answer.
Is there a way to get the type IX D2 deeper in the water, at least a meter or a meter and a half?
The Uboat is, for my opinion, too far out of the water.
Is there a Mod to fix this; which parameters or files have to be changed to get the boat deeper?

Thanks in advance, Kurfürst

I used S3D...
open "Data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat9d2\NSS_Uboat9d2.sim"
and go to node "unit_Submarine. unit_Ship. obj_Hydro. Surfaced. Draught"

Thank You for the tip!

What did you change exactly?

Beste Grüsse, Kurfürst

I don't do U-Boats...

But for my Gato-class draught was changed from 5,35 to 5,8.
Looks much better, like loaded... out for war patrol... deep in water, heavy...

Thank You,

I will give it a try this evening!

Hi Jan Kyster,

your tip worked superb!
I adjusted the value from 4.7 to 5.8 and now I have an Uboat instead of a Hoovercraft!

I compared the result with some pictures of a late-war IX D2 and it looked the same.

Thanks once again for your help!

What mod?
Instead of 105 mm is placed 37 mm?

Hi BUKER,

it´s not a Mod, it´s just a change in the config files of the Uboat.
It´s just eyecandy and not playable.
I changed this because the late-war IX D2 didn´t have a 10,5cm deck gun but had a 37mm Flak gun (U-873, U-875).
If You are interested I´ll send You the necessary files.

Hi kurfürst!

Yes, yes, it is very necessary!

I also want to ask such a question.
Very interested in this picture!
What mod?

P.S.Sorry for bad English ...

Herzliche Grüße aus Russland!

Hi BUKER,

I changed some details of the IX C/40 conning tower to make it look more like the late-war versions of this Uboat type. I added the Snorkel pipe on the side, reworked the Snorkel, added Ammo canisters and the "Flakschutzbügel" to the Wintergarten and put the Life rafts canisters on the back of the Turm. I also changed the compass housing in front of the conning tower; and the "Netzabweiser". Some parts of the "Windabweiser" on top of the tower are also missing. As I am absolutely new to Modding I can tell you it was a lot of work, at least for me!

Here are some screens of my U-889 and the real U-Boat, surrendering to Canadian forces in May ´45:

The problem is that, due to reworking the 3D model of the "Turm", all the textures got messed up. So I did my own textures like the one of U-889. It´s still far far far from perfect; for exaple the deck textures for the tower are completely missing. Anyway, I´m quite happy with my U-889!

As for the 37mm Flak gun on Your IX D2, change the following in Your Data/Submarine/ NSS_Uboat9d2/ NSS_Uboat9d2.upcge:

Wow! That's an amazingly good looking paintjob, you've done there! I would be happy too!

Do you happen to have one floating around for a IXD2? Like U-181?

BUKER · 08-07-10, 12:41 PM

Hi kurfürst!

I did it!

It is a pity that the crew did not stand up to the gun ...

It's only me?

I admire your work!

I look forward to and hope that you succeed!

Das ist fantastisch!
