New Moon Sucks

snwcrsh · 09-23-08, 09:04 PM

Sorry for the little offensive title. But crossing the North Sea '39 at night is really boring. If there was moon, there's at least *something* to see. Mostly it's reflections of the moonlight on the water, but at least you can play around with external cameras.. and sometimes even part of your sub is "lit" - yay!

But New Moon sucks. BUT, I will not touch the TC button. We're at 54.303704,2.790527 now (just paste that into maps.google.com), so only about 30 more hours before we can expect to have any enemy ships in vincity. Probably the first one will be a fisherboat. Will be interesting to see whether I can restrain myself and the crew from using this as an torpedo exercise.

At least I can go sleep for now, If I'm very lucky I might encounter something tomorrow night.

U-23 (fictious) out.

Wow, 1x TC is pretty hardcore... But some people enjoy it! Good luck and watch for mines!

I was playing in 1944 recently and had a search plane with spotlights find me in the dead of night. That was scary.. these beams of light out of nowhere!

Are you playing stock or one of the mods :hmm:

Jim, I think this is yet another complaint about the OLCE2 moon and (lack of) moonlight/reflection. Nothing new.

snwcrsh · 09-24-08, 12:49 PM

Haha, no it's not. I didn't even have a chance to notice it as I have seen no moon yet!

No Reflections!? OMG!! (just kidding, though. As I said, didn't know its not there. Probably I'll find the why and whines in the OLCE thread, have to read it up after I made fresh popcorn).

And kylania, I play with GWX2.1+OLCE2+OLCGUI1.2.6

Not with 100% realism though, there is some comfort I want to keep...

Oh, I get ya! Sorry, my mad. The title "new moon sucks" was a bit misleading... especially as so many others have complained about it.
