airplanes
 

Finally i saw a swordfish bi-plane around scapa flow.Although, i think there is still something wrong, cause i have not seen a airplane, like i think i should, in over 10 patrols.Is there a file i need to check? My cfg file is unchanged, so i am thinking the campaign file LND,RND or something is altered by the st.naz and schleuse mod.Any ideas.BTW my patrol date is 10Jan1940/9th patrol.I have been patoling around Gibraltor lately.

Are you using GWX or any other mods?

Aircraft rarely show up at time compression over 256, this may be your problem.

You are still very early in the war. Just wait till later, you won't be able to escape running into them.:yep:

Your relationship with aircraft won't get particularly close until later in the war. You're only a couple of months in and it's still the Sitzkrieg war. By early 1944 you will be running around afraid to surface during the day because of planes, and by late '44 you will be afraid to surface even at night.

I'm not sure why you're actively looking for planes. They scare the living bejeezus out of me. Got 'bushed by a Catalina, was lucky it was only a near hit. Still knocked the FlaK, deck gun and periscopes out for a bit.

The schleuse mod doesn't/shouldn't affect plane rendering but the tc factor does (anything above x128).

BTW if your seeing Swordfish that is a clear indicator there is a carrier nearby.

I'm running GWX. As soon as i wrote this thread, i started getting attacked by swordfish every 1/2 hr. I saw only one wellington.You guys r right. I think i'm too early in the war and if the other planes are like the swordfish in attacking then i'm in for a battle.Out of six sw
ordfish, only one bomb came close, causing alot of damage.Thanks all for the feedback.



'Don't rejoice in his defeat, you men. For though the world stood up and stopped the bastard, the bitch that bore him is in heat again"

You keep saying that! I've been playing this game 5 years and have never run down a carrier, though they have appeared in TFs/Convoys.

Perhaps, à la Clinton, I should ask what you mean by "is" and "nearby."

Lots of airplane trouble my way already in mid 1941 (read the Balz Missing thread).

I keep saying that because IT IS TRUE.

Check the planes heading and run down it or better still.....pause the game, take a note of the precise time and date and open the ME to interrogate the Scr layer....you should see the carrier then.

Yep, he is right.:yep: I've sunk several bogue carriers after spotting the swordfish.

Thanks, jimbuna. I know I can do that if I really wanted to know... but so far have always resisted. There is always a price for "perfect intelligence;" in this case it would be the joy of the game.

That is true but it is a price some on the GWX team had to pay because of scripting and testing requirements.

SINK EM ALL MATEY!! http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

yeah, i took your advice and started moving toward Lerwick, above scapa flow, in pursuit of the bogue carrier.All of a sudden, i CTD. Eveytime i would reload and when i got to that same grid area, CTD. I read a thread somewhere this happens in certain areas' of the sim. I also experienced this around Bergan. Eveywhere else no problems, so far.Any thoughts?Again, i'm running GWX with a mid-end machine.
