PLC GUI Uber - Is there a way to only use the enemy visibl part?
 

I just started using OLC Uber, upgraded from OLC GUI. There are a few things that don't seem to be working well with my computer (or I don't prefer). The one thing I like about OLC uber is the visibility range on enemy ships.

The things that I'm not likeing with olc uber is
1_ the sun looks like a golf ball in the sky
2_ map contact updates only appear at 125 km range on the map. Any closer, I can't even see the circle for my own sub
3) A few others I can't remember.

I liked OLC GUI, but not sure the uber is working well, but hate to lose the visibility range on enemy ships.

Hi tmdgn!

try the SH3 Res Fix... you can change the games resolution to match your LCD screen native reolution... and as a positive side effect this also fixed the problem with the "golf ball sun" for me.

I think the latest version of OLC GUI Special has the "realistic contact" mod built in (if I remember correctly)... this is why you can't see your own boat and contacts beyond a certain zoom level anymore.

Also you can use the normal OLC GUI with the OLCE part of the OLC Ubermod. So just enable OLCE2 and OLC GUI Core files.

I have the same problem with "golf ball sun" using SH3 Res fix at 1280x1024 native 19' LCD. It looks unrealistic and I can't fix it.
In OLC Uber thread I've read about this problem, but changing any values in ATI drivers, described there, didn't help.

About the golf ball sun, it usually has to do with the level of Anti Alising you use, I use AA4x, with Supersampling on, and I can see the sun just fine in the tower. however when using the periscope it has no sun halo(when the water hits the lens hit appears, strangely), its a compromise you make, to have the best looks this game has ever shown! ( I have an ATI HD3850;Cat 8.4fix;Vista and I use the 1280res fix also)

I dont use the GUI so I cant help there!

Good hunting :up:

Interesting, I'm using 2xQ. I have a geforce 6800gt msi 256mb. Should I raise it or lower it?

As far as the SH3 res fix, what is this? Where is this? I normally run my computer at 1024x768.

Seemed like there was some info in the 43 pages of uber thread. Didn't get through all of them. They called it a flat sun. rather than a golf ball sun. Is there a summary of fixes somwhere so you don't have to go through 43 pgs of text?

Thanks again.

The most higher the AA the better, maybe AF will hep too, the res fix allows you to change the game resolution trough a dx tweak, I dont have a link for the res fix, maybe someone here in subsim can get you that. The best you can do know all the fixes, is to PM the the grand master behind the OLC Ubermod, witch is OLC!

hope it helps

To tmdgm:
1 - try enabling AA and AF (at least 4x!) and if you have an ATI card then enable adaptive AA as well.
2 - that's correct/intended.
3 - I can't help your memory, sorry. :p
