Sometimes I think I have limited fantasy. This could be a reason for my loving mathemaical approaches :hmmm:

Okay :up:

I will prepare a GHG patch with my new settings in a matter of minutes!

let's think aloud, Volodya :)

Atm we are just discussing. I am not even sure that my settings are going to work properly. :03:

Once we understand what can be done and what not, we will deal with computer performance issues :yep:

What do you mean? :hmm2:

As far as R.E.M. is concerned, the experimenting phase is concluded. Today I will post a fix which will feature "standard" R.E.M. depths and ranges. This one will be the "final version".

Volodya, can I use your modified Uboat_sensors.sim for the TDW compatible version of the fix, or you had modified any setting not related with hydrophone SensorData controllers?

I can make it by myself :yep:

I mean, we don't have a setting which would decrease the hydrophone's ability to "hear" with the engine running .. or is there?

I don't think so.. I had modified a bit the scope's max heights also and some other settings in the hydrophone's controllers (which I've already turned back)..
EDIT: and anti sensor coatings controllers for compatibility with IRAI.. :yep:

Here it is:

No red buttons this time :D

This is already modelled in game through the 'Hydrophone speed factor ' or 'Hydrophone noise factor' in Sensors.cfg. Unfortunately they are global parameters: they affect indiscriminately all the hydrophones.
In reality, the KDB was much more affected by engine noises than GHG and Balkon, but afaik there is no way to simulate it in game.

Okay, I will tweak directly R.E.M. files.
But why have you edited scope max heights? are they wrong in R.E.M? :hmmm:

it's sadly

Here you can find original file revised by TDW - http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...9&postcount=39

These are original settings -
These are mine -
Obs Scope - 3.8m
Attack Scope - 5.2m

I had edited a lot files in my game for compatibility with each other.. uboat.cfg files, uboat.sim files etc..
That's why I had modified scope's max heights also..

Do you mean that, in game, KDB is more affected than other hydrophones by engine noise? :huh:

Thank you.
I have already started tweaking the non-TDW version of R.E.M. sim file. When finished, it will be easy copying/pasting the righ controllers into the TDW compatibility patch :up:

I am sure you know what you are doing :)

Test my GHG settings when you get time for it please, and let me know your opinion. Besided obvious bugs, I am also concerned about computer performance and interested into how realistic/well balanced you think they are. For maximum ranges, I took inspiration from the following quote:

source: http://www.uboatarchive.net/CumulativeEdition.htm

When we finish with the GHG, we will model the other two hydrophones. I have read quite a lot about German sensors, lately :know:

I mean, this is sadly that we can't control these factors (Hydrophone speed factor and Hydrophone noise factor) separately for each hydrophone..
Unfortunately I used GHG very little and I can't confidently discuss this..

Me too :hmmm:

Okay..
But I need a heavy fog for test this:

5th SensorData:
PreciseRange=0
Max Range=4,000
MinSesorHeight=-500
MaxSesorHeight=-2
SweepPeriod=44
ProbInsideArc=0,77

Is the GHG by default in custom missions? :hmmm:

:wah:

:haha: :up:

I haven't figured out yet how equipment are assigned in single mission. :88)

Setting a mission to Sept 39, and giving the boat early equipment should be enough in this case. If you want, I can design a set of test missions at different depths and ranges from a single target :)

:yep: be so kind :)
because I was tired last time when I searched convoys and single ships for test each hydrophone in the campaign..

PS: I'm not even sure that with my Fog Distances WO not able to see visual contacts :hmmm:

R.E.M. - hydrophone mute for player fix
 

This fix should make hydrophone contacts audible for human player at any depth below sensor's minimum depth.

Enable the standard version on top of R.E.M if New UI's/IRAI are not used, otherwise enable the TDW compatible after R.E.M and TDW mods.

NOTE: R.E.M. hydrophone depth ranges/detection distances are not affected by this fix, i.e. Xrundel/TheBeast's settings are unchanged.

:up:

Here it is: :salute:

GHG test missions

Each mission features an hogislander sailing at 10 kn and about to enter the particular hydrophone range at the current U-boat depth. She will keep following her route past you position. More explaination in mission briefing.

What is the proble with WO spotting the contact? :06:
I have set heavy clouds and fog, no wind, low ship veterancy level. I hope she won't spot you. ;)

Looking again at that graph made me to spot a mistake: I should have set layers with constant max range spacing among them, and varying depth range intervals :hmmm:

Thanks for the fix Gap! If You remember, the problem of hydrophone detection was mostly concerning some of the extra (imported) ships. Is this issue still actual or solved already?

P.S. Have a time to have a look at videonews re. meteor fall in Ural (Russia) on 15th Feb. Now I believe armaggedon plausibility is not a fable:stare:

Why so many missions? one mission would have been enough :yep:

I think my English is terrible.. I mean, when/if my watch officer sees contact, then I have no way to test the hydrophone, because I only see the visual contact on the map, not hydrophone..

Only Gap? :oops:

Yep.. it was cool! Armageddon is coming! :eek:

Not only, for You also big thanks as well:yeah: Glad You've also solved Your problem with RAM. Two days I had no access to Inet because of my WiFi Router glitch:/\\!! and got crazy of that:arrgh!:.
