Hey Caustic...

Wonderful work, I love it, but I just got 1 Question:

there's been "light" fog like for 2 consecutive weeks and I just cant sink any ship because for me to be able to lock him and make calculations for TDC, I must be like 50m away form it and torpedoes don't have enough time to armed.

Is this long lasting "light" fog normal??

Tnx a lot

I've never encountered such an issue in my game, running this mod. Mabye something in your mod list is conflicting with improved stock environment.

I really need some clues here.

The only mod I've got installed is TMO 2.5 and yours (any version). I guess some file got corrupted or something, because, when I start a patrol, everything is fine, clear skies and seas, but whenever "light" fog arrives for the first time, it won't disappear.... never. I can't sink any ship in those circumstances.

Any idea?

Tnx for your help.

Please use this version of the mod with TMO or RFB, let me know if that helps.

Very nice mod with no reported bugs. It runs smooth and elegant and the envoronmental changes are immediately noticable with rich colors, more detail and overall better weather effects.

The explosions and flames are enhanced, but not overboard. Altogether this mod has been done with common sense and a good eye for detail.

The fog is good, deep and very misty indeed...great! It makes visibility much harder and gives an edge of immersion. Easy though...just use hydrophones to detect those ships and close in on them. I was then sinking them at like 600 yrds...a whole convoy went down in that fog..haha.

So...Nice envoronment mod. Good work. Recommended.

Caustic, that one is working just fine. Din't whant happened, either way I had to deactivate all mods and installing them all again. That was a crazy thing, who knows how that got stuck lol.

Either way, that's an excellent mod.

greetings.

I'm new to modding the games and think this is excellent and thank you for this mod. However I do like the effect of the original underwater impurities as its stated. Yes its harder to see but I love the effect of it, makes it seem more real, is it possible to remove that little bit so I have the rest of it without that change?

Yes, you can keep the original impurities effect after deleting the file <Improved Stock Environment_v3\data\Misc\Impurities.dds>

Uninstall the mod first, delete the file; then reinstall. You should see the original impurities in-game.
