[REQ] Realistic buoyancy!

[quadraspleen]

I know this has been discussed by some of you boff's out there, but I can't find the thread now.

Please can someone fix the boat's movement through heavy seas. It's a bit of a j/k, really. At times, I can see clean under the length of the whole boat when it crosses a large trough..The props spend more time out of the water than in it. I'm sure they weren't made of balsa wood...(Balao class - 1526 tons surfaced, 2424 tons submerged)

I know this is technically an eye-candy mod, and it probably won't be considered a valid use of time by some ppl round here, but, pretty please, you know you want it :)

Perhaps someone can point me to the thread about this so I can see if they have made any headway. Thanks! :up:

To stop subs "flying" in heavy seas, you can use the scene.dat tweak file to remove the LargeWavesCoef from WaveState4. Change it from 1 to 0.

You get sligthlty smaller waves, but the sub acts normally.

Ace! Thanks Capt. Cox. That is, indeed the post I was looking for.

Now, as I'm a bit dumb, do I have to tweak that using the Mini Tweaker?

If so, don't I need a tweak file (.txt) for that or can I just edit the scene.dat directly?

I'm a bit of a newbie to self-modding, tho I did manage to use the minitweaker to fix the radar 180-270 thing (with an amazing tweak.txt file provided by someone with a much larger brain than me.)

Thanks for any info..I can't wait to get this fixed!

Please ignore that last post :) Just found the tweak file
