Thanks!

Report back any bugs you find!

I'm reworking the reflection of the sun on the water for the next version. It's just too wide, and too bright!

Task Force · 10-11-08, 05:14 PM

Yea I noticed the reflection.

I love the way the waves make the distroyers adility to hit you drop.
Just attacked a convoy that was leaving Reykjavik and stunk two liners, one distroyer, and a converted whaleing tanker for 30,000+ tons.

You love the way the waves do what? :hmm:
Didn't understand that part... what do you mean?

Task Force · 10-12-08, 03:42 PM

The waves make the distroyers pitch and roal as they go up and down waves.

There accuracy is lowered because they are no longer stable and able to get clear shots.

You mean in bad weather situations?

Task Force · 10-12-08, 06:37 PM

Yep, The weather was horiable, waves going over my boat. Even periscope debth was not a save place from them.

They would expose large portions of my boat. I also noticed that the large tanker and liners were haveing trouble sailing. There bows would come up out of the water as in real life.

This is a must have mod to go with OLC`s enviormen mod.

Philipp_Thomsen · 10-13-08, 07:34 AM

Actually, that was a mistake in the development.

I fixed that.

The weather was great at 4m/s, great at 8m/s but terrible at 6m/s. Who the hell understand this game engine anyway? Isn't 6m/s weather supposed to be something between 4 and 8m/s weather?

Anyway, this is fixed now, looking a lot better. Updated the first page.

Task Force · 10-13-08, 08:47 AM

So that distroyer should have had a clear shot at me.

Yikes, playing with death.

Looking reeealy nice there Thomsen!

I haven't had any issues trying it out with my S-Boot so far. Runs really well on my little laptop with a GeForce 8600. The FPS does drop quite a bit when I take the free camera high above the boat, but from the first-person, conning tower perspective it's smooth sailing (~40-50fps at sea, 20-30fps in port or near convoys, which is perfectly normal for this system)

I like that you changed the sun reflection since last version. Looks much more realistic now.

Task Force · 10-13-08, 02:54 PM

Good job, This is a realy great mod!

Philipp_Thomsen · 10-13-08, 04:45 PM

Thank you guys, it means a lot!
