Clouds racing by...

[WhiskeyBravo]

I've had a couple of instances where I've dropped down out of TC to find the clouds still racing by as if I was still in TC. Anyone else noticed this?

Cheers,

There is a mod that gives you a couple of options as far as a " cloud look ", plus it slows them down.

Look under the mods section for SH4 If I see it I will pass it along.

Here it is: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=111542, works with all versions.

Will give it a try, many thanks.

Well, the mod works and the clouds go by more slowly in realtime. However, as soon as I go to TC and back again the clouds start zipping by. It's a bit like the clouds in the intro movie but not quite as fast.

Hmmmm.

I tried the mod and i still get racing clouds.

It's a good mod though.

The racing clouds are not something that would be a matter of opinion of whether the clouds are too fast. When you get the racing clouds, they are really moving very very fast. Kinda like when the Millenium Falcon goes into light speed, cept from side to side. Dont know if that is good analogy, but it's really fast.

I wonder if it's one of those video card specific bugs that the SH games always seem to have, like an ATI/Nvidia thing.

For the record i have ATI Radeon x1800 with the 7.3 drivers.

I noticed that too, same as smoke columns from ships. They tend to slow down after a minute or so. Bug number 19842?

I get this too sometimes. I'll drop out of TC and the clouds are going super fast, like time lapse photography. I feel like captain jimi hendrix. I find if you ignore it and continue playing it will eventually stop.

*Sigh*, it's immersion killers like this which just make the game unplayable to me. I mean, I could live with it, but I have other games to play and things to do. Nothings really gripped me so far. I've started four campaigns, and something like this has come along every time, to cause me to stop playing, and thus never even completing the first patrol.

It is only its immersion to that saves it from its other glaring bugs - such as the stop watch not even working! How can basic tools like this not even be working properly? At least the graphics help save it somewhat, but only to a point. Then you have see through crew - which is always an immersion killer for me too.

PS. Ive seent eh racing clouds many times myself - every patrol it happens at least a few times if not more.

Wow, I thought that was just me who was seeing that...I reckoned it was a "feature".
