GWX and ships on rolling waves

Woof1701 · 03-05-07, 05:22 AM

Hi there,

Ever since using GWX I got the impression that the ships and also the uboats roll the waves less realistically than before. Could imagine things of course, but the day before yesterday I watched my boat in medium seas and it simply looked awkward. Were there any changes made to that in GWX?

Yes, there are changes made to the way the U-boat moves in waves.

I think the sub physics are more realistic in GWX. It seems to have more accurate seakeeping in storm waves (doesn't pitch as much).

Ok. Does someone know which value and which file is responsible for that? Would like to have a look at stock values and in case I like it better, change it back.

I thought it was just me drinking too much!

but maybe it has someting to with the "Neutral Bouyancy Mod"?

I can't seem to keep the sub level at Periscope depth even in relatively calm seas.

Just asking again:
Can anyone tell me which file is responsible for the way a ship/sub behaves when it's going up or down a wave? Thanks a lot.

It all boils down to little reality nazis, who think they know best WHAT AND HOW YOU SHOULD PLAY.

Best just to begin building your own mods.

Never thought id see the day where GW was acused of that. Come on now, aren't you being a little harsh?

You just called someone a nazi? Over a game? Did the nurse drop you when you were born or something? Fecking idiot...

Ducimus · 03-06-07, 04:45 PM

That word is practically common langage in some parts here in the states. To put it in context its a synomym for being too strict and overbearing, to be an imposition.

An example, Being from california, im quite liable to comment about the "smog nazi's" in reference to the states vehicle emission standards. Not defending him, just explaining his usage of the word - its quite common here.

Ducimus · 03-06-07, 04:54 PM
