We don't see the moon same way in south hemisphere than in north hemisphere, and equator is different too :yep:

South hemisphere should be like that for all phases:

North hemisphere should be the inverse :yep:
And equator should be like:
http://www.ac-nice.fr/clea/lunap/html/Phases/phsud5.gif
Where i live, moon almost look like a "smile" at first quarters, a mix between equator and south hemisphere.
I'm quite sure all those moon phases around the world can't be done in SH, but maybe something close :hmmm:

I look forward to hearing from you :up:

Yep, having lived in equatorial Africa for several years, I know what you mean :yep:

No idea about it :hmm2:

Finally found something realistic on my rig about zero wind force.
Sea should be flat almost a mirror, but with small ondulations probably due to sea "inertia" force (don't know how to say in english):

Very good rendering here :sunny:

keep on your good work, Fifi :up:

Maybe "ocean swell" is the correct English term :hmm2:

On the topic of wind force and main wave characteristics, you might want to have a look into the sea state table available at the bottom of the following link:

http://www.seakayak.ws/kayak/kayak.n...2570DA0057E036

For each wind force (in Beaufort scale) it lists significant wave height, average wave period and average wave lenght, calculated according to Pierson-Moskowitz spectrum. Average wave speed can be inferred as lenght/period :03:

Screenies? :D

Thanks for the interesting links :up:
Ok, screenies will come :cool:

One thing i was thinking about waves in SH5, is i think they are instantaneously matched to wind speed. In RL, there is a time difference when for instance zero wind happens and flat sea...due to sea inertia :yep:
Inverse, from zero wind to 15 m/s in same day, waves take time to raise.
Not instantaneously like in game...but maybe it can't be done? :06:

In scene.dat there is a couple of parameters that, going by their names, should affect how fast wind direction and speed are changing. I couldn't find any parameter governing how long it takes for sea state to change according to current wind speed though. :hmm2:

Ah, interesting...but probably way too complicated for my adjustments capacities :haha:

Here some screens, but not zero wind yet (didn't have this wind in daylight yet in my current career - always at night :D)
My new fog settings, here medium one - with Sober DOF V6, sun looks awesome on my rig:
http://img15.hostingpics.net/thumbs/...fogsetting.jpg
14m/s wind, i get sometime (seems time randomized!) "breaker" waves surging and raising suddently on the deck and conning tower:
http://img15.hostingpics.net/thumbs/...vemouvment.jpg
Other point of view:
http://img15.hostingpics.net/thumbs/...emouvment2.jpg
...and giving this nice water splash from inside tower - but never submerge totally (other day screen):
http://img15.hostingpics.net/thumbs/...atersplash.jpg
It's so realistic on my 28" screen, i could watch waves all day with the feeling to be wet! :yep:
Love the new sea speed in your gale mod :sunny:
As soon as i'll get zero wind in daylight, i'll share it :up:

Looks cool! :rock:

Finally some zero wind (day and night with light fog - but stars/sun/moon not affect by, as we know):

http://img15.hostingpics.net/thumbs/...98Zerowind.jpg
My own sub wave with zero wind:

Trying to identify the boat's flag in background :D

I still didn't try to give a more mirror effect...yet!

:Kaleun_Applaud:

Other thing to note about winds and waves in SH5, is max game wind is 15m/s = 7 on Beaufort scale...
SH5 15m/s waves aren't really matching what we see on your link for 7 Beaufort as below...

http://www.seakayak.ws/kayak/kayak.n...ElemFormat=gif

They are much higher/rougher. Could be because of the lack of higher wind in game :hmmm:

I know this is totally off topic...
 

I'm getting desperate...disaster struck :/\\!!

What to do?
Or could anyone recommend a good therapist?

PS Is Uplay set to offline mode?

PPS This is not Uplay, it's the old game launcher, uninstall (the launcher), load the uplay client, install. Should work.

Hello, Im just using this mod recently, now I see this mod creates many folder on my SH5 folder, is it normal? what is the function of this folder?

Thanks Echolot!

That screen looked so familiar but I didn't remember it was the old launcher.
Seems like the patch didn't load properly, had to patch once again and to be sure I installed a new Uplay.

All solved and up and running again :D

Thanks again!
