:rotfl: Now I can understand it perfectly!

Thanks, Reece! :up:

Thansk for the explanation Reece, so what this means is:

1. If I use GWX 2.0 16K Scene file both myself and my watch crew will be able to see things 16K away BUT I can't use the SH4 effects for SH3 mod as its only compatible with the GWX 8K Scene file.

2. If I use GWX 2.0 8K Scene file my watch crew will be able to see things 16K away BUT I will only see things 8K away. However, I will be able to use the SH4 effects for SH3 mod.

So the choice is a toss up between rendering the 3D world to only 8K but having a more realistic SH4 scenery, or rendering the 3D world to 16K and sticking with SH3 scenery.

the question that remains then is:

Does the Sh4 effects for SH3 mod with 8K viz combined add more immersion to GWX than just the 16K viz ? I suppose the only way i'm going to answer this is to give it a try after my current patrol.

:yep:

You can use the SH4 Scene as long as you do not have the GWX 16k atmosphere enabled or you will get a black sky, otherwise you can, the 16k atmosphere is an option of GWX.:yep: Note that using the 8k atmosphere either SH4 Scene or GWX Scene you will still have crew visuals to 16k!:up:

Yes.
Yes.

You got it!!:up:
That's about the size of it, do a compare and please yourself, note things like sea colours, sunset & sunrise, reflections, horizons, in various weather conditions, take some snaps.:yep:
Cheers.

Sorry to butt in guys, but just to clarify, the SH4 effects for SH3 mod is not compatible with GWX 2.0... regardless of whether the 8km environments or 16km environments are used.

How tired are you getting of saying that? :rotfl:

Probably about as tired as some of us are getting of reading it. :rotfl:

Believe me, there is no joy in saying it. However, either we keep saying it, or we end up on yet more wild goose chases.

Like they say though, when all else fails, read the instructions.;)

Hey Kpt. Lehmann, your getting the mods confused again, this is not RB's SH4 Effects for SH3, this is my SH4 Scene for SH3, this was out way before RB's mod!:yep:
I must admit though that the 2 names are similar!!:oops:

Aha....now the penny drops, I was confusing the RBs SH4 Effects for SH3 with Reece's SH4 Scene for SH3. This is why i persisted with the question because it was not clear to me that they were seperate mods, I actually thought your mod Reece was a modified version of RB's mod.

My apologies. I'll try your mod Reece after my current patrol.

Thanks.

No sir. I am not confused.

Gee I didn't even pick that up, even though I placed the remarks in quotes!!:lol:
I need some new glasses!!:rotfl:
Totally different, one is the environment & the other SFX.:up:

It could always be worse.

It might have been the "SH4 Special Scene for SH3 Eating Grapes While Playing the Ukelele Upside Down GWX 2.0 Compatible Version 1.34c With Diagonal Stripes Mod by Rumpelstiltskin" :lol:

Oooh, is this a hint, a new mod coming!:lol::rotfl:

Well, I won't use it until somebody does a balalaika version.:p
