V15D_beta is available.
I call it beta because many code changes have been made in the last weeks and although I tested intensively, I cannot guarrantee that there is no bug. And maybe some fine-adjusting has to be done.
New in V15D:
1) C02-production / diving times
- Diving times of Uboats enlarged (especially for XXI) to fit historical data.
- Crew number affects CO2 production.
- Silent Running reduces CO2 production.
- Repairs boost CO2 production.
2) Speed restriction when snorkelling (wind speed dependent)
- Wind speed = 0...5m/s: Uboat speed restricted to "1/3"
- Wind speed = 6...10m/s: Uboat speed restricted to "slow".
- Wind speed = 11...15ms/s: Uboat stopped. Snorkelling impossible.
(Speed restriction starts 20 seconds after beginning of snorkelling. This was necessary to prevent that speed restriction handicaps crash dive).
3) Restricted Periscope usage for higher speeds
- For speed > 4,5kts Blur effect simulates vibrations. Periscopes nearly useless. (Not the ultimate solution, but the best I could do).
- For speed > 7kts periscopes are moved down automatically.
4) Hydrophones useless when diesels are working
- When snorkelling, you must stop diesels in order to use hydrophones. Otherwise you'll hear nothing.
- No sound contact reports when diesels are working
Installation:
- As described in the 1st post.
- But: The patch kit contains a patched CameraBehavior.act which is needed for the blur effect. Move original file to a different directory and use the patched one instead. Renaming of the original file is not enough.
