I modified those settings of the dynamic shadows to fit my own taste :salute:,also I increased the resolution for the shadows

Hi tonschk !

Is it possible that you upload the needed files to test your personal-version please ?:D

Best regards,
Magic:salute:

I am sorry for the late answer :oops:, I am still studing how to control the SH5 Dynamic shadows settings, there are many of those shadows settings and I cannot yet understand and therefore control properly all of them (more research is needed), probably the first adjustment is to increase the " HighResolution=1536 " to somewhere below a top maximum of " 5000 " (if your video card is powerful enough to afford such increased resolution), this will reduce the exagerated blurred Dynamic shadows of SH5, I was messing around also with the " Split " and " FilterSizeSplit " settings but apparently I made a mistake because I review/reconsidered the stock original SH5 Split and FilterSizeSplit and after a few more research I have found that were not too bad. I am almost sure is necessary to reduce the [Bridge] " DepthBias=0.002 " to 0.00002

As you can see is a matter of try test and research if you want the shadows settings I currently use I can send you if you want but those settings are not perfect yet and depend a lot of which graphic card you use :salute:

Just started using Hurricane Waves along with Stoianm's pitch & roll, which is absolutely awesome... but just wanted to ask if it was normal to get this sort of polarised effect on very dark areas of water:

cheers! :salute:

Hurricane waves is amazing but I've stopped using it as the sub comes so far out of the water, looking like it's flying... quite a bit and it's immersion jarring. Is there any way to fix it, or to reduce the hurricane level so the boat doesn't leave the water quite so much?

Normal looks great too but in high storms in the North sea doesn't quite cut it after you've seen the amazing titanic waves of the hurricane version.. how easy is it to modify it so the normal mod has huge hurricane like waves only in heavy storms/winds? I guess both questions will yield similar results.. but interested to know. Thanks for an excellent mod!

:salute:

Does this mod work with W_Clears Environmental mod?? and which to install first??

Thanks

it is a stand allone mod... use one or other... both are good:)

I recommend the Dynamic Environment by Stoianm & Gap.
IMO the best one around here.

:up:

Absolutely Silent Steel

So far this mod seems excellent....the clouds look as real as i've seen in any game anywhere!!...my only question, is that im still making my way out to the north sea (near Norway) and the water colour is the normal green looking colour in the day.

Why have you chosen not to use you more blue water colour?

Must to be the 'upweeling'' efect that is near lands in general:03:... gap choice to be acurate like in reality

Perhaps i spoke to soon, it has now changed to a blue coming nearer to England.....excellent this is really impressive!!

Thanks

Thank you very much for this remarkable work..

can you tell me please which cfg the shadow settings go to? is it in the Environment folder?

Hi guys!
In the process of building a unified mod of a few mods faced with the fact that water in the north of Scandinavia has now a color: (this is a mission of "PQ17")
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/pict...pictureid=5003
The search led to this fashion. Installed only Dynamic Environment SH5 Basemod (realistic version) V2.1
Edit hdr_underwater.cfg result does not. In a file you can change the color? I'm not sure that the water in the northern waters is so saturated with color.

Best regards!
Obelix!
