[vdr1981]

OK, tested again and here's what's going on...

Confirmed...

Negative, sub goes ahead 1/3 actually. Check RPM gauge in the command room...

Confirmed...Red triangular mark will stay on "all stop" but "dead back slow" button will be slightly illuminated.

Again, sub will go 1/3 ahead actually with something like 110-120 RPM...


In short, submarine will execute your commands, it's only that GUI output is a little messed up . According to TDW statement it must be like that...

Heya vdr,

Yeah i saw that from starting using this mod

I just double check on gui to see it lit up a bit

It makes sense to me, as now the realistic speeds/rotations to 4321012345 fall slightly off to the stock ones, so the gui uses the nearest number to the new speed i assume

Not a problem for me, i see it as a feature

[vdr1981]

I understand that the mod isn't very popular but nevertheless, for a few realism freaks left outhere whom can not coop with sports submarines and default ubi nonsense I'm uploading new version of "Real U-boat Performance" with addition of few new features...


Adjustments:

- Significantly reduced surface and underwater acceleration. Underwater acceleration: 1-6 knots, approx 45 sec. with 90-95% batteries capacity.
- Adjusted submarine max speed and range.
- Historically correct resulting speeds depending on the selected engine operating modes.
- Introduced drag for conning towers which will depend of conning twr type.
- Added one more operational mod for diesel engines which can be selected by commanding any speed higher than 18 knots. (Dreimal A.K. 3x A.K. utmost speed )
- Adjusted surface and underwater turning speeds and radius.
- Adjusted submarine's surface draught .
- Adjusted dive times/rates.
- New accurate Submarine.cfg entries for TDW's electric engines ratio patch.
- Battery recharging propulsion fix for type VIIb.
- Battery life time as per Volodya's settings
- Engine RPM gauges connected with corresponding engine and propeller shaft.
- Significantly increased external torpedoes transfer time and internal torpedoes reloading times. Ext. torpedoes: approx. 4h,
Internal torpedoes: about 25min.
- Optimized for use with TDW gen.patcher
- Modified crew special abilities costs in order to sustain realistic submarine performance. Some abilities like max dive depth will be free from the start, while others are impossible to unlock , like level 2 for overcharge diesel/electric engines ability ect...

v 1.5 Changelog:
- Adjusted up/down drag factor.

v 1.6 Changelog:
- Adjusted surface up/down drag factor.
- Adjusted underwater up/down drag factor and ballast tanks values (dive rate).
- Adjusted values for UI depth commands:
Crash dive depth: 100m
Dive: all the way down...

Heya,

Niceone vdr

Will grab it now

[Ablemaster]

Good stuff, mate well done. Got it now, excellent.

Your mod is great and I am sure that it's popular. It is also an honor to be recognized without medals! I take an arbitrary example: my crew uniform mods, probably downloaded over 2500 times, but 0 star. It's the same thing in life, I know 5 stars palaces vulgar and ugly, and secret hotels absolutely superb. Good continuation !

[vdr1981]

Tnx guys!

Here's a bit more comparable testing...
Emergency dive from periscope depth to 300 feet is almost 100% correct with recent modifications...

Hi Vdr1981..can I ask, is the latest version of this in the patch 5 for your Wolves of Steel mod??

No, because that would request restart of players current campaign. I'm trying only to add mods/changes in the patches which can be enabled anywhere in patrol/bunker...

Can this be added to your mod while at sea ?

[602Sqn_Puff]

Thanks for the reply

No, I don't think so... I learned that editing sim files while in patrol can be very CTD risky...

My question here is "reciprocal heading" means 180 degrees turn? if yes, seems it is much faster than the what we have now on VIIC.

I'm not sure to fully understand,the only way to have a "working" chadburn is to disabled the electric engine ratio stuff in the TDW patcher ?

There's no other thing we can do to fix the ui ?

[Balu0]

Can I install this on top of WoS ? Or will it break something ?
