It's a ....
 

I see it now. It;s a love fest! (But I am enamored with my mod. Do I get apromotion?)

Ewww, the camera.dat file in Optics2 breaks all the wonderful freedom of RFB's.

Yes, I wonder why all these old mods are being dug up out of the grave when the state of the art is so much better today in all the major mods.

Frederf: if you could post the stock game version here and in the downloads area, possibly someone will pick it up and release an RFB version.

You know it just occurred to me that if you want juiced optics, your best bet is Capn Scurvy's Maxoptics, which increases your periscope and binocular magnification as well! It preserves the camera in RFB and TMO with separate versions for those mods.

I won't touch the thing with a ten foot pole, as I like realism, but you might like it.

I thought MaxOptics was just for 1.4 and I'm running 1.5. Honestly given an hour I could probably merge the good Optics2 changes with the RFB changes.

There are all sorts of weird unadvertised "extras" with Optics2 like how the 2D heading gauge is even smaller which makes precise inputs even harder and the blue stopwatch hands are totally wtf. I also noticed that the nice Attack/Obs scope different reticule patterns and overlays was lost as well.

As for realism, I figure Optics2 is closer to reality in terms of resolution density. It's still 1x/4x zooms (right?), just larger viewports at the same FOV so each of the screen's pixels is a smaller fraction of the overall so the size of the pixel is less in the way of seeing what there is to see.

max optics vs werner sobe optics x 2
 

My machine crashed. I play TMO 1.7 to 1.8 beta. The link lurker put up for werner sobe's optcs x 2 is down. What does his comment about masking the night periscope mean re TMO beta? Should I simply download max optics3, and is it compatible with TMO beta?

TMO 1.9, is out and downloadable. The latest optics for the Fleetboats in TMO and RFB are pretty good. If you want to take it further you will have to adapt something to something. Thats cool!

These mods have been removed from my FF acount.

Is there anywhere else we can find this wonderful mod?

Can somebody, please, re-upload the MOD. All links in this thread are dead.

:wah::wah: Pleaaaaaaaase, anybody could give us a valid link, filefront don't has them...:wah::wah:

This mod looks real good. Thank you WernerSobe for producing a great mod. :up:

as i sit here
 

The lights are out. It is cold down here. Crew are down on the deck, and the SS Barbarina won't be coming up for air. We are finished. A broken motherboard did us in, we are on ETERNAL PATROL until I can afford a new gaming computer. My first mate's final (he passed away a few minutes ago) report blamed our situtation on TMO1.9., "Ducimus' destroyers finally got us. They blew up the motherboard."

Before signing off for the forseeable future, the Barbarinna's report to Subpack follows:

Yamoto on fire, dead in the water. Ise sunk. 8 torpedoes at sunset using Optics 2, Easy Aob, and Solution Solver performed flawlessly. Tell Gunfighter to send our beloved emblem to the Smithsonian and ask Neal to save the links to the Optics 2:salute:.

:woot::woot:

Many thanks for this download link !!! :yeah::yeah:


Ar Nahud II

Thanks as well for the download link.

Best regards.

:rotfl2:

Of course it's meant for you! It's meant for everybody. It was just because of arnahud2's whin...I mean asking (just kidding) that I got hold of it and put it up.

Thanks again Sailor Steve,

I knew it was for everybody. I couldn't resist. I had to say something.

Thank you for you help

Thanks for the mod, but I am not sure how it will work with TMO1.9. Will see.
