Wind Regions

[PeriscopeDepth]

Do they actually work? I've tried adding one about 5 times now setting everything to 0 with a 20 miles box around FFG, but each time I go into the mission the FFG I've setup right next to a dock drifts due to wind. I've looked several times but can't find anything obvious I'm doing wrong. Using 1.01 patch.

Yes they do work. Did you make a current box to zero also? For me I set a 'box' for currents and wind to zero around my naval base when making a mission to leave or enter a dock. :)

yep does work few days ago while leaving dock the current was strong enough to almost smash the back end of my sub to the pier unless that was me over stearing :hmm:

I did set both a current and a wind box. Guess I'll try again, I'm probably doing something stupid I'm just not noticing.

For what its worth I don't stick with the zero presets presented when making wind/current regions. I mean I give my "zero" currents some depth and my "zero" wind some height.

Ive also noticed that in a sea state of 4 or more berthed ships will still crash into docks eventually. :-?

Okay, figured it out. I needed to set a max depth/altitude for the regions to work. Now my FFG sits at the dock next to Chinhae without moving. Back to mission building.

EDIT: Simultaneous posting is funny. Especially when we're both saying the same thing. :lol:

:o Talk about coincidental timing. I shouda mentioned this yesterday and saved you some time. ;)
