[REQ] Realistic Wake

RobertGysae · 03-08-09, 12:56 AM

after playing ship simulator 2008 i had a brain wave - what if it were possible to import the ship wake from ship sim 2008 to sh4?? if you've seen it it's a much more realistic/dynamic wake than the stock sh4.

so yeah, is it at all possible?

I wouldn't think so..very different engines??

besides isn't SH4's wake pretty good?

RobertGysae · 03-08-09, 01:22 AM

could be better

i'm a perfectionist though and i've usually found that my thoughts are probably a bit too 'impossible'.

At one time in SH-3 we had a wake that lasted/was a lot longer. Much more true to real life imo.

I liked that mod too.
I remember hunting a small convoy in heavy fog, using their wakes to home in on them.

Good times.

I have been waiting for both longer wakes mod and longer torpedo wakes mod on SH4.

Making longer wakes in SH3 was pretty easy, especially thanks to Skasjer's S3D. I would hope it would be similar for SH4. The problem is that the files have to be changed for every ship individually.

Me I would like an improved periscope wake. The present one (if you can even call it that) is not at all realistic.

Ive seen ss08s wakes. they are ok. but ss08 is not modable. Most of the files are locked. and they use a different engine. the wakes wouldnt look right. you would more than likely have floating parts of the wakes in rough weather.

do you have a link for sh3's wake mod?

Apparently the only FileFront page it was available on is empty now.

I'll bring it and put it up on mine tomorrow.
