well there you have it shipmates, a fully functional IX, with a full crew, torpedo tubes and torps in the right places and working, still a few bugs to iron out, telegraph needle goes the wrong way round, compass dial is off,(I think this is image related, tried everything else)
need to work up some decent alpha maps for specularity, and modify the ct (again) for better hatch position,
need to get the snorkel mask and snorkel equipment into a gr2 file and linked up to eqp nodes, the rest is just fine tuning bone positions (tedious)
