Ditto same here chaps.

So for the purposes of clarity, what precisely is wanted?

Ah, right and does anybody know where those are located or in what version?

No idea Jim, I looked in CCoM 11.1 and didn't find it. I looked through Thomson's files as he did some work on the ships displacement, and just found an empty folder for the T15B, while the others had a .sim file in them. :06:

Quick Question
 

I have searched this thread for an hour and could not find what I was looking for. The other day I was reading something about the "MFM3.2 Displacement Correction Mod". Sorry I can't find it but, I kinda got the idea that it's not used. My question is : should I use "MFM3.2 Displacement Correction Mod" ?

Doolar Semler, is this what you were looking for?

Sounds to me like the Displacement Correction Mod 3.2 is no longer needed.

should have mentioned, I'm using MFM 3.2

I found what I posted on page 91 of this thread about half way down. The posters were Fubar2Niner and rudewarrior. The consensus was to not use it but, I'm thinking it was in conjunction with MFM 3.3, which I have not tried yet. I did use it with MFM 3.2 & GWX but, it was so long ago I do not remember exactly what effect it had. I think it improved the lagging ship and the tramp steamer sinking itself but, I'm not totally sure.

Thanx,
 

Thanx that was it. I searched and searched and couldn't find those post. I was going back too far, again thanx

To clarify, I used the Displacement Correction Mod with 3.2. I could not find an effect, if any. What it did was updated all of the .sim values to match the displacements listed for the ships. The best I can determine by the conversations, is this actually interfered with IABL's intent. He would tweak the hidden values to make the ships do what he wanted, but they wouldn't necessarily reflect real life and/or what the player saw.

Best I can explain it: if the ship needed to perform like it had a tonnage of 50ktons, but in real life was only 8ktons, then he would alter the hidden data. Then the ship would perform like a 50kton ship, but when you sank it you would get credit for 8kton. The correction mod would now edit the ship to be 8kton and it would perform like an 8kton ship, which IABL may not have been trying to do. Thus it would alter the mod to act in a different way than IABL intended. Therefore I elected not to use it and I wouldn't recommend it.

thanx guys
 

Thanx guys for the help. HW3 and rudewarrior, if ya get in the Baltimore area, CA45, I owe ya some beers :Kaleun_Cheers: I have decided to remove this when I return to Lorient.

Thanks for the explanation rudewarrior, it has been a couple of years since I ran SH3 with GWX and the MFM 3.2, and things are starting to get hard to remember. I switched to SH5 with the TWoS mod and like it very much.

Is there a turns per knot chart for MFM to allow determination of speed based upon blade count and rpm?
