Thanks Mr. Chris.

Adriatico, you're quite right.

Once again... well done, mate...
Just hope that wide community apreciates your new visuals;

Just pitty that underwater visibility remains... as it is...

Hope you'll reboot your brain in a weeks to come... and release an update in a late November... :|\\

Beautiful shot.
Is that a high-res IX skin? Where did you get it?

No worries im just happy to be playing a game that has such a active community and Modders
So long after the games initial release.:up:

Keep up the great work and don't forget to enjoy what you helped make.

It is my VIIc DasBootGrey skin (based on Fubar blank) ...that I melted with blank one, into "1941 grey" semi-weathered... not published.

Anyway, beauty comes from your 21mb download...

Stay away for three weeks from SH3... and than take a triple coffie...

I tried playing with the Fog and Underwater values mentioned eariler in this thread and just couldn't get it to work. Above water the game it absolutely beautiful. Underwater it's completely opaque in all but the most favorable conditions. :(

Has anyone worked out how to get default (or default GWX) underwater while keeping the utter beauty of above water yet? :)

...and then "fix" the OLCE2 underwater visibility? :roll:
It's not broken. In fact, at 50m, it's rather generous.

That looks like fun what they are doing in that vedio.

By the way. I love the mod.:D

Good :up:

Well, I don't know where in the world everyone lives.
But I can tell you this.
Those videos were shot on GREAT days.
And 20 years ago?
The water was even clearer!!
Somewhere I have Vids of the Wife swimming with
Manatees in Florida.
Even those vids do not compare to
the North Atlantic.

Some people like clear blue waters.
I prefer as close to real as can be.

I love the spooky shots of a U-Boot cutting through the gloom!!
:rock:

Sends shivers up and down my spine!!

I agree with privateer about releastic water colours. But for a skinner or modder we need to see the water and the boats in it.. So a simple option for clear water helps make nice photos for testing and just plain visuals photos.

That would be a great option to have OLC.... I would appreciate it if you can do something like that. :yep: :up:

Well, it is true that North Atlantic is not a clear water from tropical paradise...

On the other side, many people like to take a look on submerged boat, it just increases overall gameplay feeling...
Some of captains simply like to sneak around Malta or Jamaica... etc.

It would be nice to have optional folder with a slightly increased water visibility, something like reflection options.
...if the surface beauty could remain as it is in 2.4.3.
:hmm:
( I tried also to tweak it by myself, seems to be "don't try this at home"... heavily coded )

1st video link: Great, now I have that harp-riff (no pun intended) stuck repeating inside my head all day long. :damn:

hehe, sorry about that :lol:

OLCE2 is perfect as it is no need to change anything, it's absolutelly awesome achievement and quit whining about the underwater visibility, just imagine u're looking at submerged u-boat with your own eyes, not through cam :up:
