Deep = dark water

[hans svetty]

When diving the U-boat deep, in external view, I can't see a thing. How can I make things brighter? In other words, to still be able to see the boat despite being down 160 meters?

SH3Commander has a water clarity setting....you could try turning that up to maximum (20).

LOL. I'm just the opposite. I keep mine set at (2).

I set mine up so I can watch the inner tube door open and close. I'll set it back when I get tired of that.

:salute:

When diving deep, it's as dark as a blank screensaver for me. Turns SH3 into a spooky radio program. Maybe something is wrong with my monitor.

Nope thats how its supposed to be. "Realistic you might say" since light cant penetrate that far, or at least semi realistic. I like it.

'Immersion' indeed!

Very droll :P

I've not tried it on 20, but I used to have the water transparency (via Commander) on 18 - for much the same reasons as HW3. But when diving deep, you still can't see a thing - unless that's just my monitor...

Other than playing about with your graphics card settings and monitor contrast/brightness, I don't think there's much you can do about that.

If it's just for screenshot purposes, then do your best in getting a good shot then tweak the gamma etc. afterwards :)

It gets darker the deeper you go till you can't see anything. So there is nothing wrong with your monitor.:yep:
