Hello Mr. vickers03
I already see it in color !!! so much that strikes ... I hear the "clicketie" of the rods which flatters the cylinder head ..
tell me I have a question for you ... according to your explanation

"Boats with poor or no air conditioning (Narwhal, SClass) will have condensed water all over the place when diving."

the other boats should also have it in the framing as well as on the walls it really contributes to the immersion I find .. and there are also the thermal differences I find that this is plausible ..
but prefer this effect when diving hard on other boats when you think this is a suggestion.. thank you for all the work you have done it is really remarkable good luck
Cordial greetings KM_U669

Lovely! gives me some inspiration! What is the poly count like, and have you had any stutter? Unfortunately I haven't been able to test your stuff myself.



I noticed that some German WWI sub motors had metal shrouding over moving parts that could be lifted off, so sometimes you wouldn't see any major parts moving. If Jeff & I can't crack the motion issue maybe I'll just give my engine room models this shrouding.

thanks! it's something like ~100.000 polys (~170.000 triangles) per engine.
Everything running very smooth but that's mostly because i use
the unified render controller and only one texture map on complex objects, sometimes i use the ambient occlusion map as base texture
so i get away with just one texture channel

yes, just like the Gato engines there is not much to see.. i planned this for the fleetboats too.
of course i let you know when i figured out how to animate the engine.
