Many thanks indeed to RacerBoy and Anvart for these prompt replies. It never occurred to me to look in the Turm files, but I'll do that asap. Nice to see you again in this forum, incidentally, old friend Anvart.

The reason for the query was this:
When approaching convoys recently, in 15 m/s winds, but good visibility, and periscope fully up, at time compression = 32, I was quite struck by the flashing of the water on the periscope as I tried to track the convoy visually. It suddenly occurred to me that people subject to epilepsy might well have an attack after this kind of flashing. I'm not a sufferer myself, thank goodness, but even I felt very dazzled by this display very quickly.

It has also occurred to me that another solution to this visual problem would be to reduce wave heights in file scenes.dat. This would have also the advantage that the U-boat would be more readily detected at periscope depth by escorts. And I could even make the usual mindless claim that the mod complies with Britain's irritating law, the Health and Safety Act.

So I shall try both approaches.

Many thanks again, everyone who replied.

Stiebler.
