Weather Settings
 
I wantedto know if you can make it Stormie on the Seas, Ive never played around with the weather before so.... I want to make it like if it was a Hurricane out there or a really strong storm...

Fish 09-22-05 04:21 PM

Only high sea's and rain and lightning.
No huricanes.

LuftWolf 09-22-05 05:39 PM

Which isn't the biggest loss, since even in moderately high seas, ASW operations are nearly impossible and ASuW operations aren't much easier.

i will most certainly concur LW and i have played some missions where the seastate was 5 and it might as well have been a hurricaine lol. yes its that serious.

EDIT: Oh i forgot to say we were of course using the wonderfull LWAMI mod v2!! :rock:

LuftWolf 09-22-05 06:32 PM

Hehe, last game with out mod we were getting strong bottom bounce effects on the DICASS.

One blip you were there, the next you weren't! And then back again as a partial contact! And then again as a HUGE blip... and then you disapeared for good when you shows the buoy your tail. :rock: :arrgh!:

Edit: I have to really congradulate SCS for making such solid sound engine with many many acoustical factors, the volumn was just set too high for all the pieces to work right! ;)

darksythe 09-22-05 06:34 PM

hehe it was a very tense mission not to bad on timing took us round a hour our so to complete.

LuftWolf 09-22-05 06:35 PM

If only my FFG hadn't gone brain dead Matrix style... (not his fault darn ISPs).

darksythe 09-22-05 06:36 PM

LOL yeah the ai aint very good at all can we say four missiles from a kula and it go BBBOOOOMMM!!! :rock:

LuftWolf 09-22-05 06:41 PM

When a player drops from MP, the AI takes over the platform? I was wondering about that.

darksythe 09-22-05 06:43 PM

I think that is what happens it was certainly changing course i can tell yah that much.

LuftWolf 09-22-05 06:44 PM

It wasn't saying much over the chat... :88) :-j

And it definately didn't link you from the its TACTASS. So I lost. Thats my story and I'm sticking to it.

I can't beleive you were in the middle of my buoy layers and I still didn't have you!

darksythe 09-22-05 07:57 PM

Lol sorry maybe you had them on the wrong side of the thermal? they could have triangulated me from there layout lol

Hurricane not possible ? Have you tried 2000kts or 10.000kts wind settings ? ;)

2000kts wind:

10.000kts wind and few hundred kts current in opposite direction:

I must admit, never used that combination. :huh:

Jamie 09-23-05 12:22 PM

Oh, brother.... Thanks for that, Amizaur! :cool:

Kind Seas 09-24-05 04:49 PM

HAHAHA !!!
your the absolute tester Amizaur ! :rock:

LuftWolf 09-24-05 10:41 PM

You should see the picture Amizaur sent me where he made it rain trees... :huh: :o

Amizaur 09-25-05 07:15 AM

I didn't make it by any changes in the game, it's just screenshot from a mission :) seen it only once, trees hanging high in the air... guess it was some kind of bug but happened only once :)

BTW only now I noticed that sea state is independant from wind setting, so on the pictures with 2000kts wind you can see calm sea... :-?
You can set very high wind setting which would result in ships being pushed through the water very hard (I learned that over 2000kts can kill the OHP ;), but the highest possible sea state setting remains 5 so probably yuu don't get higher waves....
But sea state 5 with high wind setting should emulate hurricane quite well I think.

Zerogreat 09-25-05 07:25 AM

Highest sea state 5? Nope ;) By editing the missions in text editor, you can set alot higher sea state... then those waves will be REALLY huge and scary :yep:
