Explanation :)

Black and red line - behavior of sub during storm
Blue line - theoretical sea level (when wind is calm)
Orange line - difference

Now what I was thinking here...

My theory is that mass of submarine isn`t enough simulated here. As you can see on first graph, when sub is falling into water, it does not fall enough (difference between orange lines above and below sea level ).
All we can do here is that we are trying to compensate this by adding mass into *.sim files of submarine (sub gets heavier so it falls down a bit faster). But this also negatively affects buoyancy so we are loosing control at higher depths and can`t hold depth at low speeds.

I think that developers should change "mass and gravity algorythm" to simulate more fluid falling into water (under theoretical sea level) as you can see on second graph where differences between orange lines above and below theoretical sea level are not as big as on first one.

I hope you understood a bit what i was trying to explain - sub isn`t reacting too good on gravity effect (wave throws it out of water, which is ok, but doesn`t fall back as it should) that should be under theoretical sea level = it acts like "sub on rails" = it isn`t falling into water as deep as it should and looks like it`s flying...

P.S.: Those 2 graphs aren`t exact, I was just trying to explain my theory they were painted really fast :)

Hi guys!




This mod changes the wave simulation and the behaviour of the subs riding the waves.

A small example of version 1.0:

Latest version 1.1
-fixed subs could not hold depth

I would like that maintain depth fix only. Could you provide some info on what you edited in the sim file and which values you used?

Thanks :)

Hey Stoiamn,

Can you fix the link please? File Not Found.

I'd love to see freak waves too... also would love
to see more rolling, and some way to control the
listing of the boat (shifting ballast maybe). My boat
has a permament list of 2-3 deg port.

However, there is one huge thing missing, and
that is a Wet Look to the boat... all that water
washing over a permadry boat just doesn't look
right... how about fading reflectivity or something like
that? ie fading if it's dry for x time.
