This just does not make any sense at all!!!

Would you be so kind and list them so we can adress them or take note of them?

Hi drEaPer

The one that bothers me the most right now is the one I have described above.
As for the others just search the dw forum I'm sure you'll find them.

Anyway found another by acident, I think.
At stadimeter I acidently found that the photo image is split into 2 parts both draggable with the mouse, up and down. Think this is a bug as I don't find it normal.

But I got to say that I love the water texture and movement! Much better than the SC.

Oh and Sky colors and effects are also better.

Yeah, your right Zerogreat! Just confirmed that!!
And I play SC for 3 years now, and never seen that!!! lol

I'm reasonably certain that's how a stadimeter works.

BTW, the physics model, even with the 1.03b issues, is much much improved over SC... no more subs turning in a boatlength, and there is a reasonable acceleration curve now.

RTFM!

Manual, Section 13: 688(I) Station 13.53

Pirate, be sure your talking "bug" when it is a BUG.

DivingWind · 12-19-05, 11:22 AM

YEAH! That's no bug! Stadimeter is dragable to find range to target seen trough periscope! You align ships highest mast to waterline and thats your range to target.Ofcourse you need to have ships height,which can be found also in stadimeter station. (Seawolf automatically finds range to target just by alighning the top of mast wiith waterline)

Pirate · 12-19-05, 11:27 AM

Thanks for explanation on the stadimeter. Did not know that!
I thought it was a bug! My mistake

Zerogreat · 12-19-05, 01:42 PM

Heh, and i though the problem we were talking about is that both two parts of the photo are draggable, while only one half shoud be

drEaPer · 12-19-05, 06:57 PM

In SH3 it works well, but in DW I rarely use it, cause my estimate of range is seldom accurate. Its off by 2000-4000 yards sometimes, and I _really_ wonder what Im doing wrong (my nose is nearly hitting the screen when I align the mast and waterline, so no error here).

Anyhow, the 1.03 patch is really good, so if you find bugs with 1.03 you can always post them here and we can adress them or put them on the list for Jamie (so they know about it, doesnt mean it gets fixed).

I share your view when comparing SC and DW 1.00 but I am quite satisfied with DW 1.03.
