New 2013 engine/battery settings for XXI
************************************************** *******
More powerfull disel engine - faster battery recharge time, but more noisy boat (more easy to detect) with difrent stability!!!
Maybe someone fix this XXI problem in the future by editing hard code for XXI players

************************************************** *******
If You decide to use my settings, You should start a new carrer. Don't forget to delete also old folder with saves for remove all temp files.

What You should have alredy:
1. Fixed battery recharge in XXI. [From 0 - 100% recharge. Full]
2. Silent3Ditor Program (S3D) [for editing XXI Sim file] Link to program:
http://sh4.skwas.net/downloads.aspx

With my settings max snorkel speed = 17Kt.
Recharging batteries takes about 7 hours from 10% to 100% of power.
************************************************** *****
These new settings means the best balance between range, battery recharging time, and noise emisive by XXI - at least for me. XXI ability to staying as silent as possible should be very important. However, I newer tested it with GWX. Now XXI is about 16,7% easier to detect
than vanila XXI. But we can't skip this, if we need to recharge batteries on time.
************************************************** *****

So let's start:

File: Ubisoft/SilentHunterIII/Data/Submarine/NSS_Uboat21/NSS_Uboat21.sim need to be open in Silent3Ditor program.

New settings should look like these in red colour

1.
unit_Submarine-->unit_Ship-->Propulsion:
max_speed=15,6
eng_power=5250,0
eng_rpm=520,0

2.

unit_Submarine-->E_propulsion:
max_speed=17,2
eng_power=5000,0
eng_rpm=560,0

3.

unit_Submarine-->Ranges-->Submerged:
miles=280,0
knots=4,0

Another file: Ubisoft/SilentHunterIII/Data/Submarine/NSS_Uboat21/NSS_Uboat21.CFG should be open in Windows Notepad:

Speeds:

ClassName=SSTypeXXI
HumanPlayable=YES
Interior=data/Interior/NSS_Uboat21/NSS_Uboat21
UnitType=200
MaxSpeed=15,6
MaxSpeedSubmerged=17,2
Length=76.7
Width=6.6
Draft=6.3
RenownAwarded=200

New gears:

[EngineProperties]
AllStop=0.00
AheadSlow=0.17
AheadOneThird=0.35
AheadStandard=0.49
AheadFull=0.75
AheadFlank=1.00
BackSlow=-0.17
BackStandard=-0.35
BackFull=-0.49
BackEmergency=-0.90

Gears are optional.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
About XXI stability problem when disel power is very strong.
Always when the power of the disel engine is set up for very stronger value than the power of the electric engine [for faster battery recharge time], XXI sub has tendency to sway to much, especially in the big storm, and at the periscope depth or snorkel depth. This can be fixed.

We need to change gravity height of the boat from the orginal 2,8 to 1,5

Once again we need to open "NSS_Uboat21.sim" file in the Silent 3ditor program, and we change the "gc_height" parameter for 1,5. For example:

One more thing. Underwater up and down drag increased and angle of the dive planes [for better compatible with the new gravity center height];
unit_Submarine-->unit_Ship-->obj_Hydro-->Submerged-->drag:
LR=** - You don't need change this ** value in Your sim file, but maybe You should know what this is. This is left and right turn ability of the boat. [Submerged]
UD=0,17

You can test this for Your favourite setting, however these are the optional settings and You can left orginal 0,15 here.

You can find the LR surface turn ability for XXI under this line in the XXI sim. file:
unit_Submarine-->unit_Ship-->obj_Hydro-->Surfaced-->drag

Angle of the front and rear dive plane should be changed for stronger trim when boat diving or surfaceing:

unit_Submarine-->Front_diveplane:
drag = 0,04

unit_Submarine-->Rear_diveplane:
drag = 0,04

Additional Info for GWX users;
In the GWX XXI sub. using supercharger for upgrade disel speed.
With supercharger You probably will be sail faster on my settings.
19+Kt on the snorkel for example. You can remove supercharger from XXI, but then You need to start a new career.

How to remove supercharger?

Open this file in Windows Notepad:
Ubisoft/SilentHunterIII/Data/Cfg/Basic.Cfg

Now find all lines for XXI in this file [all XXI lines simmilar to this line]:

Year2=1945
ForeTube20=3 ;T1
ForeTube21=3
ForeTube22=6
ForeTube23=6
ForeTube24=4
ForeTube25=4

SuperCharger_20=-1 "-1" must be set up here for no disel upgrade
Snorkel_20=1262

RadarWarningReceiver_20=1282
Decoy_Launcher_20=1287
SonarCoatings_20=1303
RadarCoatings_20=1305
Renown2=30000

Change this file manually in the notepad. Write "-1" number for all XXI years. This is all.
And backup Your orginal files before any changes.
