RPM

Hi,

I'm trying to make a new table for ships RPM.

With the editor put the same ship at different speeds and listen to the hydro.

Cimmaron class tanker:
44 rpm = 12 knots
41 rpm = 11 knots
39 rpm = 10 knots
37 rpm = 9 knots
etc ...
etc ...
etc. ..
this is fine.

but for example with the Hog Island Type A Freighter happens when I hear:

47 rpm at all speeds of the ship. "bug?"

47 rpm = 11 knots
47rpm = 6 knots.

?????

I've been looking at the game files but can not find anything.

Anyone can help me?

thanks.

In SH5 the rpm to speed conversion doesn't work, as there is only one sound-bite that exists for the props of ships and it plays at the same speed.

So no matter what the speed of a ship is, you will get the same rpms all the time.

google translation, sorry.xD

Really?

I think not. I think you're wrong.

Enter the game (SH5) and hear a Liberty Cargo to 9 knots and another at 6 knots.

9 knots = 36 rpm
6 knots = 28 rpm

* These values are consistent with the SH3 table.

... which makes us think that "sh5" are an RPM internal system, but with bugs.

My question is if anyone knows where these values can be modified to fit the reality of the game.

I don't believe that the RPM's have an effect on speed, use External view to watch a Liberty Ship's propeller, it spins at a impossibly slow speed.
I used the Goblin Editor app to view the speed, and the Liberty ships propeller spins at somewhere between 30 and 45 RPM, I cannot remember it exactly.
The Real Liberty ships un-geared engine spins at 76 RPM when at maximum speed.
And the C2SB1 Hull Large Merchant/s propeller spins at about 30 RPM in SH5, and it cruises at 12 knots (?) But in real life this ship could move at about 19 knots, I have been editing these values myself to make them look more realistic because these values are very hard to find.
I usually set ships propeller speed to around 200, just to make it look better.

I do not believe that the sounds are synchronized with the actual speed.

Good work Macardigan

I will look forward to seeing your results

hi, trevally.

I'm almost finished calculating the speed (rpm) of the vessels.

I have discarded some vessels that keep them (RPM) at different speeds. Example: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 knots always 47 rpm.

advancement:

-Cimmaron Class tanker: "max. speed: 12 knots |

6 knots - 29 rpm
7 knots - 31 rpm
8 knots - 34 "
9 knots - 37 "
10 knts - 39 "
11 knts - 41 "
12 knts - 44 "
