Default 16K atmosphere

This is an awesome mod! Thanks for the excellent work!

I love the graphical changes this mod made, but the 16k atmosphere taxes my machine a bit and frame rate is slow. Is there any way that I can drop this to an 8K atmosphere other than disabling this mod?

Thanks!

Default Ranging question

Hi

Love the mod, well done and thanks for all your work which is much appreciated.

I have two questions which I hope someone can answer.

1. How do you find the range of a target from you (previously it was shown when locked? I realise you can ask for a range check when surfaced but not via the tdc and not at all when submerged as far as I can see?

2. On my system, when viewing the sea from the bridge or an eagle view, one can see lines in the sea going away into the distance, (rows of waves in a line)- is this the game or my system?
I am using an nvidea GE force 7900 GS, 2.4 GZ processor and 2mb ram.
The game runs perfectly on my system with to crashes ever or slow running issues on the highest settings.

Many thanks

:p

1: Have you seen the 2 tutorial videos that OLC made? Look at his Filefront page. It's explained perfectly. If you use the Gui Special you need to pay more attention to the 'Gui Special' video rather than the 'normal Gui' video. But the latter explains alot of other things of the mod the Special doesn't.

2: Sounds like a driver issue. But I've never heard of it here before. That said there is some large-scale regularity in the way waves are rendered. Meaning they get re-used or something. Please try to provide a screendump. ... p.s. 2 MB of ram??? No wonder.

Hello and thanks for replying.

Sorry, I of course meant 2GB of RAM !

I will have a good look at the page you mentioned.

Could someone please tell me how to take a screen shot?

Regards

You've lost me, but I'm intruiged... please explain.

Because my fix is to set the zoom level to 1X and adjust the angularangle of the camera. If zoom is anything other than 1X, the waves go screwy. A camera can only have one angularangle (AFAIK) hence one "zoom" level.

That makes my first thought irrelevant, anyway what I meant is that the "obs scope camera" can actually be elsewhere than right on the 3D representation of the scope lens. I found one such issue but it wasn't a stock or GWX model so I suppose that these are well set. Basically I had the camera above the 3D model, in external view the lens was slightly under the surface, but the in periscope view I could see above the surface. Hope that makes sense
Probably it was because of the flattening and clipping... or maybe it was some mod you had enabled? I tested just now in normal GWX2 and the external view matched perfectly with what I could see through the lens (I paused the game with the lens half-covered and switched between the views).

Make me one too. I just realised I misread your previous post, sorry.

Hmm... I really should watch that movie sometime :hmm:

Good god, man. You mean to tell me you haven't seen Dos Boot yet?

Anyway, I'm looking forward to this next incarnation of OLC as I too felt 6x was a bit cumbersome to use at relatively close ranges.

I haven't seen a Dos Boot since I upgraded to Windows. :rotfl:

Sorry, bad joke.

I'd never even heard of Das Boot until I joined these forums. Since then I've read about it on Wikipedia, but I've still not seen it. I've seen Das GWX on YouTube but that's it.
