View Full Version : Radio reception depth config?

Have an oddity that may be deliberate but I'd like to change it.

I am running "Trigger Maru Overhaul 2.5" and "Carotio Intercontinental Radio Pack" and I've noticed that I can still hear the radio when at periscope depth.

In the vanilla game, the radio fades away VERY shortly after diving, like as soon as you are < 40ft I think.

Does anyone have a clue what controls this? I'm guessing it's something in a config somewhere.

I looked at the radio.ini in the Radio Pack, but it looks normal (RadioRealism=yes and range 100000 for each station)

:-?

Good reception is possible at distances of 2,000 to 3,000 miles with the loop submerged not more than 15 to 20 feet.

Which sub are you using? The S class in the game has a bug that lets you hear the radio at much greater depths than the other subs.

I jumped into the school and took a porpoise out. Sure enough, radio fades away as I expected. So it's the S boat radio bug, which heretofore was unknown to me.

Thanks! :salute:

I get a 403 fobidden on that link... :down:

EDIT: I tried several different methods, search on the ibiblio home page, browse to the hyperwar in the catalog, all gave a 403, so I used the website form and sent an email. Hopefully they will fix it - it appears to be a nice resource.

I didn't know that it was a S-class thing. The most annoying thing is that if you dive with the radio on, you can't turn if off, until you surface.

It must be a server side issue they are having or an ugrade. I use that site a lot for information.
