Probably yes. For sure the first one being released

I can garantee you - not the last one

I am working on the ixb_ai unit re-import from shIII (sorry, the hull from sh4 is a hull from ixd not ixb, and after extencive research - they are different). It's just a pain to allign everything nicely.

With this one: I'll see what is going on with the draft. If someone could test and see how it looks in game - I would appreciate.

The reason I'm asking, because the draft has been changed in sim file, the mass has been adjusted (though it has been causing me issues when I managed to put accidentally 1500t instead of 1.5t in the mass - the boat would just not render in game at all), but the waives vs size of the boat making it hard to predict what would be too much.

I have some small requests for you, yet. I will discuss them at the right moment, if you don't mind

Thank you very much, volodya61, really appreciate it. Lack of time is my biggest annoyance atm.

primary: draft
secondary: mass, surfaced/submerged displacement

I'm hoping that it can be perfected with just fixing the draft. If I remember correctly (i'm at work atm) it is set to 0.4m at the moment.

The problem that I am having with the game files is an annoyance, that I will see different values between cfg file and .sim file of many units - and I don't know how that affects exactly those units in the game.

Same is happening with this particular unit: the cfg file has been updated with historical values. The actual weight of the boat from the historical page, which I'll post in about 2-3 hours (at work and can't seem to find it).

no, no, it is not relative to your work, and it is actually totally out of topic here

Since you insist I will tell you in short: I have noticed that SH5 uses the same meshes as antenna of various radar warning receivers devices, which actually had the most various shapes. I was wondering if you could have replaced the old meshes with new, more accurate ones, if I provide you with pictures of the real antennas. That's all

ooooooh!! This could be a very interesting work.

I can promis that I will try. I'll explain why: I learn 3d modeling on my own, with no background. I bet that more experienced people would have done even the lifeboat better then I did. But I'm enjoying it and that is why I have released this mod: the more feedback I get, the better I will become in the future - which I am excited about.

My next, very big and very very very SIDE project right now is to build IX b/c from scratch (as I mentioned before, the SH3/SH4 models I'm just not happy with, as they are not as nice as model of VII). So, if I have a chance to practice on making smaller detailed things - I will be very very happy!

as to me, I already edited values in the .cfg and the .sim files of Uboats.. now they are the same..
as to other units, I had never thought about it..

Thank you Targor, you are my hero!

I will send you instructions and pictures (hopefully our keysersoze will help me finding good ones) as soon as possible!

Not to further derail this thread, but are there any more resources you need for the Type IX? I have not been able to find any really good IXB schematics yet but will keep looking.

yes, that's true: often cfg file specs and sim file specs are different, and one always wonder which ones are actually applied.
