Why I'm dumping GWX 1.02 mod

raymond6751 · 03-18-07, 08:51 AM

Since installing the 1.02 version, the target lock will not hold. It locks and then loses the lock a second later.

In addition, when locked, the wP says he has a solution but the notepad isn't updated at all.

With SH4 coming in a week, I think I'll just go back to generic SH3 with just the eye candy and sound mods. At least I could depend on the targeting to work.

If I ever go back to GWX it will be the first release, not 1.02.

From how long distance you are trying to lock on? Is the periscope partly under water? Is there big waves that go over the periscope? Those are the reasons, you might lose your lock.

If the seas are rough and you're at a considerable distance then of course you won't stay locked on.

Calm seas and closer distances are no problem for me.

Same as comments above--I have no problems

Nothing was altered in 1.02 from 1 to change the peri lock

The unlocking adds a touch of realism. Kaleun Krunch did not have a lock option on his UZO or scope. Take a peek, re-adjust, re-adjust, take a peek. It was a constant motion for solution. Although the locking from great distances is nice, it takes away that added 'atta boy' when you sink one with the tools the Kaleun had.

In all reality, we have it darn easy compared to the real thing. Heck, we are missing torpedos dropped from planes (FIDO) and acoustic bouy dropped from planes. Consider the unlock function a minor nuisance.

Thats true, and really, I dont mind constantly adjusting my periscope. Besides, as someone mentioned earlier, if waves are rolling over it, as they will tend to do cause your boat tends to be in the atlantic, the lock will "unlock" off of the target. So just be a man, keep GWX, the greatest mod known to man for any game, and keep playing.

Isn't there a 1.03 coming out soon, thought I read it was in beta-testing:hmm: Judging from a few of the initial SH4 posts you may want to hang on to it for a little while longer

Yes we are currently testing GWX 1.03 and it should be released soon. Hopefully another major update with more ships etc will come later on (probably in the summer).

I think the problem is more the U-Boat bouyancy problem in GWX & constant storms that seem to effect the locking, as Bigboy said: the locking hasn't been altered!

Im sure its been asked before already, but do you guys plan on studying SH4 when it comes out, and creating a new mod for that to expand and improve on it?

Far to early to say....you'll just have to wait and see

I've found that it'll lose the lock if the target is over 5000 metres away. Unless you get a rather large wave rolling over the periscope then if the targets within 5km then you wont usually lose lock on.

Using the 16km atmosphere thingo is strange cause you'll hold the lock from 15km-8km. then it'll lose the lock until the target is within 5km.
