I know, but looks(although in a fake way) more "marine"!

Very deserved ;)

:yep: :up:

Good job, mate !

Alpha was beyond great.

Beta looks astonishing!

When Omega version comes out we wont need to leave the room anymore.

And we will get the water coming from the monitor into our faces in bad weather on the tower.

OLC, are you intending on releasing a mechanism that squirts salty water on players faces together with your mod?

:lol:

No dirty talking on that forum please, there are kids out there.

Overcast sky, light fog, no rain, wind speed 12m/s. Normal GWX2 wave textures in this shot.

How will look your overcast wave textures?

The sky look pretty real! :up:

My wave textures look good, but enabling OLC Improved Wave Textures + OLC Environment + AF will hurt the framerate quite a bit on a low spec machine. I'm thinking of including a special version of the OLC IWT mod which is designed to work with OLC Env without hurting the framerate, but doing so would effectively make the mod incompatible with the GWX2 wave textures, so right now I'm going for flexibility. Players with even moderately powerful machines will be able to take their pick of which wave textures they want.

Just a quick note: that's light fog in the screeny above, which you get in the Bismarck mission, but in a campaign you usually (if not always) get medium or heavy fog with an overcast sky. They have both been graphically tweaked in OLC Env to show an appropriate amount of sky, but neither of them show the sky stretching off into the distance like you see in that screeny. For example, the screeny below is heavy fog (with wind speed 15m/s and rain). Medium fog is, naturally, somewhere between this and the light fog in terms of how far the clouds are visible into the distance.

Great picture... Looks like the ocean is moving, olc. Very very good. Now the only thing missing is the water squirt!


Look what I've found in my image bank. What do you make of this?

Just a general opinion...

This is March 2008 so PC beauty takes some hardware bases...

Improving visual beauty of game to new standards - with a restriction "not to hurt" FPS on low end PC rig... it's a :damn:

Keep in mind - what is hardwer price for SH4 visual improvement...

Agreed. You must take for basis the general computer performance of the subsim crew here. Some guys have low end machines (like me) but the most part of them have high end machines. Your mod should target the high end users.

Huh? :doh:

I have a low spec machine. I'll be damned if I'm going to make a mod that I can't even use! :lol:

AMD Athlon FX-55
ATI Radeon X800XT (using Omega drivers but no overclocking)
2Gb DDR400
Windows XP Professional SP2

And I keep it pretty steamlined (no unnecessary background processes, regularly defragmented HDD, etc).

That should give you an idea of what level of machine the mod is aimed at. :up:

Just an idea of what water reflections shoud look like! :lol:

Godahell, OLC... :rotfl:

I've a Athlon XP 3000+, 1gb ram ddr, geforce FX5700LE, XP SP2., with my mother and my sister eventually surfing the net and caching viroses. :damn:

I must trade this computer imediatly, sir.

:o

You need a new comp mate.

Med colours are done. Here's a taste:
