Maybe it's just an issue with ATI cards. Can someone confirm this? I really want to use this mod, but I need to figure out why my FPS goes down to 9-10 when viewing it through binoculars.

Mine is an Nvidia GTX260 and i got no slowdowns... :up:

This might be the case, I was curious after others reporting the drop and tried viewing it with bino as well. Hmm the fps dropped badly... overclocked 4870, Xeon dual core 3.0GHz running @ 4 GHz, 4gigs of memory (overclocked as well :)). I run all settings maxed with 4x AA. Usually stays around 45-50fps with max of 60 and min of 29-32fps. :hmmm:

What ATI Cards do you have?
Minimum recommended is Radeon HD2600 series 256 MB
Maximum recommended is Radeon HD3000 series 512+ MB

Thank you very much to bring that great mod to shv :yeah:

HD5770 1GB so the card is up to date. Maybe when the patch comes out it will address some of the performance issues. I know some Nvidia cards are having problems with the shadows in the CR as well.

Very nice mod DW, no issue with speed for me (using Nvidia 280GTX). Will let you know what happens when my 480GTX arrives.. Assuming my system doesn't melt on me!

Whats odd though is that I'm using the Enhanced Funnel Smoke mod and can view it with bino with no drop in fps. It seems the exhaust from the sub wouldn't be any different. Ship exhaust has much more and alot thicker smoke.

Oh. Released missed this one yesterday. Amd pics to at last, Couldn't see them over the last month (Darn Photobucket).
Excellent downloading now. Thanks. :yeah:

there is no smoke when you go backwards !!

Just for info ...
 

Under the normal conditions diesel engine has no visible exhaust even if it operates on HFO. Visible "black" exhaust may appear in case the diesel is significantly overloaded or its proper adjusting lost. "White" exhaust appears when the fuel oil (MDO or HFO) contains water or compression piston rings/valves guides/turbocharger's seals are weared and lubricating oil enters the cylinders and exhaust line.

Also there is feature in SH5 when both diesels are vibrating during operation. It is "cool", i like it by the way, but IMHO it is not realistic. As both diesel of U-boat drive the propeller shafts directly, they are to be mounted on their foundations without any flexible intermediate parts. So during the diesels operation you should not see their vibration only, but feel the viration of the whole U-boat. Would be cool if it can be modded also :D

:yeah: :DL Thank you very much :yeah: :up:

Need to make a slight correction. The type II series had TWO exaust ports, one on each side of the hull. This might have something to do with the two diesel units in the boat design. Not sure though:up:

On mine I see it though it depends on sub speed to make it more noticeable. I find that if ordering all stop the exhaust will still continue until your sub comes to a complete stop. Somehow this mod is tied with sub movement rather than throttle which may be a clue with slowdowns with Ati cards?

Run full speed ahead and then order all stop and see just how long the exhaust continues... only till the sub is stopped. :up:

Maybe two engines,
But they had one exhaust port!

Notice NO dark paint spot or hole in the right spot?
I don't make this stuff.
I just post the facts.
And you might want to look at this.
