The living ocean mod getting better? Now that's good news. :up:

You could be single-handedly responsible for making time compression an endangered species LV! :D

"Captain, are you okay? Your eyes are starting out of your head and you've been muttering about lifelike waves in your sleep."

"I'm fine, just fine. Just tell the exec I'll be standing his bridge watch again."

BRAVO!

Contrats leovampire on a great MOD!!! :up::up::up:

Having said that, on Idle drift, you managed to get this Sea Dog green.

Your work is done here sir! ;)

Great work on the mod! I just got it about 2 days ago.

Only one issue, and maybe it is just me...

Does it seem like the wave effects are moving too fast?

let me tell you guys a funny story
 

For a week now I have been trying to acheave what one man requested of me. I have started and restarted this game so many times checking the results of my changes if my PC or the game could talk they would be swearing at me like there is no tomarrow!

All I have been doing is eating, sleeping and dreaming on how to make it perfect for a week now!

Finaly I decieded to go to an outside source, Davy Jone's no less, and he said, "You are going to have to talk to Posiden himself to find out the secrets to his furry upon the ocean". So I said okay how do I find Posiden? The Davy says, "It will cost you 100 years under the mast of my ship, The Flying Dutchman"! Well stumped as I was there wasn't much of a choice in the matter so I agreed like the fool I am!

When I met with Posiden and told him my probelm he just laughed like he had never laughed before in his life! I said, "What's so damm funny"? Finaly he stoped long enough to say this, "You made a deal with the Devel himself just to learn that all you have to do is teach the game the difference between 1's and 0's like most computers understand instead of fighting what has all ready been programed and changed to someone else's liking", then he started to laugh again once he saw on my face that I realized how stupid I have been!

Here I am trying to fight someone elses original values of what 1's and 0's are instead of teaching the game what the base figures should be in the first place!

Now if all goes well I should have this done by Monday just a little fine tuning here and there that should go much smoother!

Well at least Davy Agreed to wait till I am near death before taking me so with a little luck that should be a few years from now! LOL!!!!!!!

Maybe you should lay off the rum for a little while. :lol:

Take it easy, Dave, take it easy..........

This looks wonderful. Thanks for all of your effort on this.:up:

Now...why does this have a very familiar ring to it? ;)

Hey LV, look forward to the new version, remember to come up for some air from time to time :yep:


RDP

Am loving LBO!

? Has anyone noticed increased fuel burn with LBO and TM?

Was in a Tambor from Midway (topped off the tanks) to Honshu Is. Patrol, running 1/3 speed and accelerated time. Arrived on station with 1/4 (last bar) of fuel remaining. Sea's were nothing hairy either.

Cheers :arrgh!:

^^

I'm not seeing this....wierd:hmm:

BTW, Thanks LV for an amazing mod...

You could try changing the value of the "AheadOneThird" throttlesetting in your submarine .cfg file to .45


NSS_Tambor.cfg

[EngineProperties]
AllStop=0.00
AheadSlow=0.25
AheadOneThird=0.40 < Change to .45
AheadStandard=0.60
AheadFull=0.90
AheadFlank=1.00
BackSlow=-0.26
BackStandard=-0.40
BackFull=-0.53
BackEmergency=-0.66

Use the 2/3 throttle for your best fuel conservative speed. This gives about 9-3/4 kts. speed in a Gato.

thanks NVDrifter but no RUM for me yet at least LOL!
 

sqk7744 you will notice a bit of a change in fuel consumption in the sub when your in ruffer seas because the current starts to create a drag effect if you are heading against it. Yes your knt meter might show you are still doing what you set for it but if we had an actual engine RPM guage you would notice that to maintain that speed the engines are running harder. In the physics program I picked up it shows the drag effect and in the virtual engine that you program for horse power and final output vs speed settings vs water and current drag vs engine rpm speed to maintain lets say 12knt's the rpm increases from 1500rpms to 1900 rpm's to maintain that speed as I set it up like the max rpm value of the engines is 3000rpm's.

Anyways I think the game actualy creates it's own vs of what my pysics program shows. Otherwise the sub wouldn't change speeds and lean into a turn in the higher sea's that are faster running like it does now.

Thanks wovik will give that a try! :up:

Many thanks for the wonderful MOD Leo, I am just making an observation that you have brought real helmsmanship to our world (headwind/swells vs. seaspeed/ actual ground speed component - very cool!) and taking those swells at an angle or enjoying a following sea! Given the natural ebb and flow of the ocean, are tides now modeled?

It appears the fuel carried is only based on speed vs range and not actual gallons/lb of Diesel
(as fuel is burned, does weight in SH4 decrease? etc.)

Cheers Cap!
:arrgh!:

no weight physics were removed with patch 1.3
 

that is why cargo no longer has an effect on ships running depth anymore it was the DEV's cure for torpedo's running under the ships when you go by the recmanual depths. Havn't figured out what exactly they changed yet to do that I think it is some where in the library files.
