V2.2 is released. Lots of new additions in this one.

New solid clouds:

v2.2

- Added ship sinking sound effects to most Japanese ships. This cool feature has been a broken in SH4 since it was first released, never have been working correctly due to a probable hard-coded bug. You would only hear these sounds if you were right next to a sinking ship. Now you will hear these ship death sounds at distance. I'm quite pleased with the results of this workaround fix, as it really adds to the atmoshpere of the game.

- Added interior collision metal clanking sounds when unexploded depth charges hit the submarine hull close to the control room.

- Added various Allied aircraft patrols. You will now occasionally encounter long and short range Allied aircraft patrolling out of Midway, Pearl Harbor, Brisbane, Fremantle, Darwin, etc. They won't affect gameplay too much, but hopefully add to the atmosphere.

- Added high-altitude F-4 Lightning photo recon patrols. These recon aircraft will photograph the Rabaul enemy area from spring 1942.

- Added Buffalo fighter patrols around Midway and Pearl Harbor. They will patrol until summer of 1942, and now have the correct early-war markings.

- Added early-war markings to the landed PBY floatplanes at Midway and Pearl Harbor. Their paint and markings will change to later-war from summer of 1942.

- Added solid clouds. Clouds will no longer be transparent. They will now block out the sun, moon, and stars. Cloud shapes, grouping, and shading were also redone.

- Added sharpened and more detailed textures to the S-18 and S-42 submarines. This is just a sample. All other subs and ships to come in future updates.

- Adjusted Sunderland search plane maxiumum range.

- Corrected the destroyed sub compartment bulkheads where they will not be repairable anymore.

- Lowered maximum unrepairable damage of sub diesel engines and propellers from 65% down to 50% for playability reasons.

- Lowered maximum unrepairable damage of sub fuel oil tanks from 15% down to 10% for playability reasons.

- Made nights less dark for playability reasons.

- Lowered sub deck and AA gun sound volume.

- Adjusted various sound effect volumes to be more audible.

** Don't forget you will need to start a new campaign game after installing v2.2 **
