Hi folks!
This environmental mod is certainly a good thing! Respect to its author!
However, I've noticed some things which seemed 'not quite correct':

1. When the sea is a bit rough early in the morning, it has too much 'mirror effect'. It looks like shaders reproduce sub's shadow in almost every wave :)

2. When the weather is perfect and waters are glassy, smth. wrong happens.
In stock game you may watch ripples, but in this mod the waves (ripples) look less authentic (like bubbles); clouds' shadows sometimes appear in an ON-OFF maner.
It is clearly seen standing on the Bridge. Also, clouds shadows create the view as if submarine is moving fast sideways :roll:

P.S. Vol.fog is ON. As for other mods, I use sub's skins, Greenlamp, Sound mod and NSM4. Environmental mod is the last installed one.

P.P.S. W Clear, Is it necessary to install E48for47 ?

Hello W_Clear , thank you very much for this mod , can you tell me please where are the files to modify the color of the sea ocean , I prefer a less dark ocean color in my game because I think is a bit dark and with the gamma i cannot adjust the color properly , thank you for the help

Hmm... i tested E48for47 with 4.7 and PE3.3 installed and my experience was more like "plastic". So i decided to go back to the PE3.3 4.7 Combo that works well. Is there a conflics between PE 3.3 and your mod, that could cause this kind of experience?

There is one thing I would change though and I would like to know how other simmers feel about it: I think that in order to make the enviroment ultra-realistic you have overkilled it a little bit in making the night a little too dark. I have seen ocean at night multiple times and, honestly, it will never get so pitch black. Not even on moonless nights. It hinders the gameplay.... Considering that most of the submarine attacks in WW2 took place at night and the real commanders had other things to rely on, like extra three pair of eyes on the watch, they could smell exhaust fuel of the ships etc. attacking ships gets extremely frustrating with your mod at night.

Don't take me wrong. In no way I intend to slam your mod, you have done a hell of a job but sometimes it is a litlle bit better to ease up on the realistic part for the sake of a gameplay....

What do you think?

To become more light water at night is very easy, but it is very realistic.

No moon night, the sea should be like asphalt, which is I have seen.

If there are many people like the water in the evening more light - when not moon. I can create a small patch for you.:hmm:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E4.6 Adjust the color of the sunrise clouds wrong.Adjust the brightness of the sea at night.

Yes please W_Clear , we want a patch to evening more light :up: thank you very much

I am looking forward to the response from W_Clear. I have been under the impression that one could choose to enable either W_Clear's E.E. mod or Kriller's Pacific Environment Mod, not both.

I also recall, I think, that there was going to be an effort to merge the two Mods into one. I could be wrong about that.

Actually i use only the scene.dat from Environmental and the rest comes from PE3.3. "Combo" looks very nice. The E48for47 updates the scene.dat and the result gave kind of unrealistic impression (like plastic waves from a fairytale...:o or something). But youre right i shouldn't coment the "non-standard" mod setup.:oops:
