A Type IXD2-boat, a CapZap skin and Prof. Rubini's Mods and life's good!

Thanks a lot, man! What took you so long?

Only "issue" I have left is some occasional strange shadows behind the sub. Like they are filling the ocean from the sub to the horizon...
Oh! and a larger bow-wake going at flank speed would be nice too... :hmm:

I looked hard for any anomylies but haven't found any, the only thing is my conning tower looks like crap & doesn't match the hull, any one recommend a good skin for the IX series?

Danlisa made a skin for the IXD2 called "Weathered Dark". The GWX 2 compatible version can be found in this forum (don't know exactly where, but I know it's here because I had a problem with an older version).

Edit: found the thread, it's here:

Here's an image of the shadows (speckles) behind the boat:

Me! Me!

I would vote for CapZap skins.

Favorites are his All BGW and Grey Camo (sig). Can be found here:
Grey Camo: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...highlight=ixd2
All BGW (a.o.): http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...highlight=ixd2

IMHO they all are *very* well done and (to me) very authentic

Edited: as per below reply it's related to ShIV scenes probably.

Subject · 03-31-08, 01:49 PM

Except I don't use OLCE

Mods in use to my GWX:

- Armed Trawler Patch
- GWX Enhanced Effects
- SH IV scene 2.5b (about to "upgrade")
- Water Stream IXD2 v2

- IXD2 Dark Grey skin (CapZap)

So you never see shadows flash behind the sub?
Perhaps it's related to SH IV scene then? :hmm: Will test this.

Thanks a lot for your help. My card is Nvidia GeForce 8400 Gs, 512 Mb DDr2, 450Mhz Core.
Driver: Omega 2.169.21

About the res, I never changed the default res that uses SH3 and always run it in full screen mode. I think it is 1024x786, right? anyway, as i said, i never modified it...
That aside, I don't know what else I could do...
Any suggestions will be very welcome!
Thanks a lot one more time.

If your referring to mine I have never seen that problem & yes I am running the SH4 scene, although I am running the 8k version, but have still never seen this type of problem unless it's the LOD set too high!

@ Subject, have you downloaded the latest version, some were having problems with the LOD set high, the new version has this lowered, if you know how to use minitweaker set the LOD down to below 20 & give it a try.

I'm getting a new harddisc tomorrow (running very fast out of space - thanks modders

) and will start from scratch to see exactly, what's causing this phenomenon.
Using SHIV scene 8 km btw. Will report back the findings.

@CapZap: enable anti-aliasing for your card. May I recommend using nVidea drivers and nVidea Control Panel instead of the Omega ones...?
