Interior haze at night?

Mikkow · 11-16-05, 01:30 AM

At night, with the red interior lighting - is there supposed to be this clearly visible mist/fog inside? It's like a pretty noticable atmospheric effect. It's most noticable in the command room and the con tower. Looks strange to me. Where one would expect there to be almost black shadow, there's this noticable greyish mist lighting things up. Behind the con tower periscope it looks pretty bright due to this odd mist.

NVIDIA 6800 GT in a VIIB sub. Monitor should be calibrated pretty well due to my occupation. And yes, searched forums to no avail.

I think it is just a hazy ambient effect. I have an ATI radeon 9800 and I see the same thing. SH3 loves my radeon.

How long have you been submerged? I hear that high CO2 concentrations can cause a hazy look effect - maybe it's just time to surface and air out your boat

Fresh out of the harbor. Poo. I do think it seems out of place to have a smoke/haze effect on the inside unless there is a fire or something causing smoke.

were uboat crews able to smoke ciggerets onboard

How about the fact that its a smelly, stinky, oily, steel tube filled with twice as many men as beds and 2 huge diesal engines that aren't pretty like a Hemi. U-boats weren't built with comfort in mind. They worked and they sucked tolive in. I imagine a little haze or mist could collect from anything.

... crew flatulence? :P

you can usually get it to go away by lowering your gamma setting. I think the fog is supposed to be a shadowing effect, and gamma just screws it up.... :hmm:

Yeah that's not normal. I don't have any kind of fog like that. You can try wetware7's advice, and you might play with the anti-aliasing just to see if it makes a difference. I don't know why it would, but it would only take 5 seconds to try it out. I think it's Shift+Page up and Shift+Page down.
