Staying on the surface

Factor_X · 02-14-13, 05:47 PM

Hi,

I have a small annoying problem with my SH5 game.

I have installed 82 mods. (yes, based on sober's megamod)
I did all Trevally's tutorials several times, experimented with TDW UI's settings and started an OHII campaign.
And the game is very stable and a wonder to play.

I have but a small nagging problem.

When my boat is surfaced, and the weather is medium intensity, it seems the boat can't stay surfaced.
It switches back to the "underwater" state and then reverts back to surfaced state...underwater....surface....underwater....sur face
It only happens when the waves are high enough (I use the stock waves by the way).

And it's rather annoying because I can't send a patrol report...or ask my navigator for a navigational fix (I use real navigation).

What can I do? Have I missed something?

Use my waves mod then . wait for calmer weather .

Hello sober.

I disabled your waves mod, because it was a mess on my system (it didn't looked like on your screenshots). I am much more satisfied with the stock waves (especially the reflections, and the short height gives me more stability, but enough to make launching torpedo in bad weather very difficult).

I run on Nvidida. And I understood through your posts that you run on ATI. Maybe it's because of this.

Going back to my problem in the first post,
so I presume it is a normal behaviour if you must wait for calm water to be able to send a patrol report.
I don't know about that.
Isn't there a way to set a "minimal depth at which the boat is surfaced" parameter-like?
I don't know if I made it clear

You're my god by the way. My Uboat Kalleuin.

I dont have this problem . Are you using my latest mod list 1130 12/02/2013 minus the waves mod ?

So you say you don't have the surface-underwater-surface-underwater behaviour.
Hmm, that's interesting. I will try again with your waves mod to check that.

I might be wrong (and don't have it in on this computer), but can't you edit these Parameters in the User Options file?

I have this same problem and its very annoying....but I was planning on trying to re-edit the User Options file (under TDW New UI's) when I get my system back from RMA (repair). I dont know that you can set the depth height for switching between submerged and surface...but you can set a time delay before the switching occurs.... so if you are not below for X seconds it wont switch to submerged mode.....etc. I'll see if I can find a link to a thread.

Factor_X · 02-15-13, 12:07 AM

That's exactly what I was thinking of.
That would be it. Exactly.
Is it possible?
The default setting would work well for sobers waves, but you would need to change it for other waves?

I am underwater at a depth of 7 meters or more. Surface : between 1 and 6 meters.
At high sea, when surfaced, my depth fluctuates between 1 and 8 meters.
So the result is surface-underwater-surface-underwater-surf....you get it.
