When it was in the down position you had no SD radar while submerged...periscope depth or deeper. As it stands now, the SD Antenna will not raise. Like the SJ Antenna's, they will be stationary affixed to the subs tower. You'll need to go to "Radar Depth" if you wish to use either radar while keeping a low profile partially submerged. The ability to turn off/on the SD radar while surfaced is what you trade for raising the antenna. Quote:

Edit: SIM File, I'm looking at the "Unit_Ship / Unit_Ship +Propulsion / max_speed = xx.x Field, correct? Can any of the other fields be used to change the "sound level" in the water, or as the example in front of me with the NAMC, max_speed = 17.0 knots, which means it "disappears" to hydrophones at 8.5 knots?... Reason I ask on this, is when the vessels turn, they'll "scrub-off" speed while turning, correct (the "drag" factor of the rudder)?... so that a vessel doing 9 knots might "disappear" while zigging?... A SIM file looks like a potential minefield to me, if messed with incorrectly... btw, the SIM and the CFG files do NOT match for this particular vessel, as to "speed" of the vessel... It also does not look like it'll be very easy to get the "Speed" out of the SIM files very easy, without having to open each one individually in S3Ditor...

Just wondering out loud if anybody else has encountered night flying Japanese planes. I've experienced this before in TMO and it seems to have carried over into FOTRSU.

Yes, especially around Japan itself, but also Formosa & China... the further into the war, the more frequent, and the more "accurate" they become... simulating radar?...

Hey gang, been away for a few days, still in recovery for my hip replacement. What is the current build and where can I obtain a copy? Thank you and please be safe.

Thank you my friend, setting the nav detail as we speak!

Same here, Nav. Hope you have a smooth recovery.

I'm capable of getting the on/off feature by simply raising/lowering an object node that replaces the actual raise/lower function. That function was a cobbled mod that used the "Snorkel" feature from the U-Boat part of the game to make the SD Antenna raise/lower. I made a hidden object linked to the SD Radar. When it's raised above water...its On; When it sinks below water...its Off.....even when your sub is surfaced. I mentioned before, you have to "think outside of the box". Yeah, it would be great for us to have access to the hard coded files to write scripts that give us what we want. As it is, we have to work within the limitations of what the game provides. Quote:

The stock game has almost every one of its Campaign Mission files with ships doing greater than half their MaxSpeed figure. Why....'cause they knew there was trouble!! Modders come along, thinking a DD should cruise around a harbor at 5 knots (when its MaxSpeed is 32) and they think they've done something special with the modification. All they've done is made players scratch their heads in wondering why can't the Hydrophone hear the ship that's about to run over me? It's all in the .mis files, whether its Harbor Traffic, Coastal Merchant Traffic, Task Force Traffic. Drop below the half MaxSpeed figure for most ships, the Hydrophone is useless. Now, don't get me wrong, your Hydrophone man will hear the ship, and report it every time......But you won't hear a thing when you go to the Hydrophone station to listen for yourself. Quote:

And yes, there's nothing easy when working with this stuff.

Since you've gotten the SD to turn "off" now, (the antenna doesn't drag in the mud, does it?... ) I'm not going to worry too much about further editing of the CAP just now... I do have another question concerning the old "Snorkel" hook... on the German side, since the US side does the radar antenna, does the snorkel still function as intended for the Uboats? Other than the fact that the oxygen (atmosphere) doesn't restore... |
