I think you may be on to something. I just reduced 3/4 of the ship wakes in the Sea folder, and when I tested it, I didn't notice any difference. Like I said, my fps are low even when I'm not anywhere near any other ship traffic. I was starting to think the same thing.

Anyhow, here are my settings :

[TIME COMPRESSION]
TimeStop=0
RealTime=1
LandProximity=1024
CriticalDamage=1
CrewEfficiency=1
AirEnemyDetected=1
SoundEffects=2
CharacterAnim=2048
EnemyDetected=8
RadioReport=1
Particles=8
PrayState=512
HunterState=1024
3DRender=2048
Maximum=4096

My subs wake is set at :
1) Total Wake Time > 150
2) Max Wake Quads > 50
3) Follow Ship Distance > -6

Thanks Bad Wolf,
Tudds

The CharacterAnim=2048 seems very high - try back at 4.
Unless you want crew fatigue at high TC you could also try lowering 3DRender=2048.

When you get the FPS up, then you can start to increase Particles=8.

HERE'S THE SETTING FROM Longer Wakes v1.0 readme (note: CharacterAnim=4).

**Important**

Be sure to set Max Particles to 100 in your options setting.


Also, if you want to use time compression without losing your u-boat wake, set your particles time compression setting to a higher compression number. Find it here:


C:\Documents and Settings\****\My Documents\SH3\data\cfg\main.cfg file

[TIME COMPRESSION]
TimeStop=0
RealTime=1
LandProximity=2048
CriticalDamage=1
CrewEfficiency=1
AirEnemyDetected=1
SoundEffects=2
CharacterAnim=4
EnemyDetected=8
RadioReport=4096
Particles=2048 <--------- Change this setting to a higher number
PrayState=1024
HunterState=612
3DRender=1024
Maximum=4096



Please note that time compression will be affected when running particles at high speed. This may prevent you from running at the highest compression speeds due to lag caused by the particles.

If you play SH3 in real time only (1x speed with no time compression), you can ignore the above instruction.

I will give those a try. I've used SH3 Cmdr for almost 2 yrs now, and didn't know what half the settings where. Your help is greatly appreciated(As is NVdrifter and Privateer).

If it doesn't work with stock, you can do it manually with S3D Silent 3ditor http://s3d.skwas.com/ . It's time consuming, but very simple to do, and you can make the wakes as long as you want. The file to be modified is found in the Sea folder, and within each ship folder you modify the Val file. I believe it's the Ship Wake Time you increase. I normally double the stock value.

As soon as I see anything with 'filefront' in the link, I know it is going to be a complete waste of time. I realise these files are now old news, but few things are as depressing as a file you really want, being on one of these sites.

The SH community has to be one of the very best on the entire Internet, or any sim, at any time - and believe me, I've been around a LONG time - so little glitches like not being able to access a mod, are a small price to pay or the sheer wealth o experience and information these pages contain.

To put it in simple terms, it's been a while since I told you guys how much I appreciate you. So, I'm doing it now.

Hi, could you guys answer a question for me, i am running a pretty clean SH3 no major mods, i have never seen a snorkel wake when my snorkel is raised, but my periscope has a nice little wake when raised, is this a bug or is something wrong with my game files?

Thank You for any info, kinda would like to see a little wake behind my snorkel like the wake my periscope leaves. Maybe a mod i installed like the RWR snorkel mod removed my snorkel wake?

Lonny
