Resolution question
I was playing a lot SH4 in the last year, starting from v.1.4, now with TMO 2.5, and RSRDC mods installed, and the forum discussions help me a lot in improving my manual targeting skills. I intend to play at full realism a new campaign, and I have one question, should the resolution in the game be set up at the same level as my TV 1920x1080, or should be different?
It seems that the visibility in the periscopes/TBT, during night it's not so good, even in case of clear sky and no fog. Or should I install OTC 1.5 mod to have better visibility? This is my first post, so thanks for your help in advance. |
I'm sorry I'm not in a position to help with your questions. I just wanted to be the first to welcom you to Subsim. :sunny:

A possible answer
It seems to me, when choosing a screen resolution for the game, whichever one you choose should not distort the image on your screen. My monitor doesn't do a good job with 1920x1080, aspect ratio 16:9, for SH4. The dials and ships always look a bit "squashed", meaning the ships look shorter than they actually are, and the dials all look a bit like eggs, rather than properly circular. I found that at an 8:5 aspect ratio, resolution 1680x1050, my monitor displays everything properly, so that's what I use. OTC is a fine piece of work, and I have used it over TMO. CapnScurvy has done an amazing amount of work to fix problems with accuracy in the game caused by the rather careless work of the devs. I however found that for my own tastes, playing TMO/OTC changed TMO in ways that I missed, so I'm currently back to just TMO, though I do wish I could incorporate the aspect ratio fixes that CapnScurvy made into TMO itself.
As far as TMO/OTC, I think you will find the scopes/TBT to be much easier to use in low light conditions, as the darkness of the attack scope is not there like it is in plain TMO. A bit of a long way to your answer, but I believe it should be "yes." |

You are using v1.5 with TMO, right? TMO 2.5 requires SH4 v1.5. |
Redmane answered much better than I am able, so I'll just welcome you to Subsim.
Welcome aboard! :salute: Now quit fooling around and get that radar screen fixed. |

Thank you for your help. I tried to download OTC mod from Downloads, but it seems that the WINRAR file has some problems, I can not extract the files, some file has some issues. |

Personally, I have not compared my periscope observation with my sonar/navigation map yardage to see how much if any the periscope obs are off. I may check that out this weekend. Thanks. |
