[TEC]Depth under Keel

[DivingDuck]

Moin,

it will be announced by the CE (LI) and shown in the message box in the lower right corner. You´ll have to re-start the game before the changes will take effect.

Regards,
DD

Yes yes, this is what I really needed too. No ship captain should leave home without it. Yup it worked of course.
Now to do some learning on this sort of thing. I've never even considered dabbling in this kind of thing, but I have done similar things with cfg files in FSX when installing addons, repaints and such. But the makers of the addons usually provided the nessicary entries for you in a readme. So all one had to do was copy and paste into the cfg files, and adjust values to suit.
Hehe, dont worry I copied a backup of the entire data folder, in the event I screw something up, and I'll be sure to inquire about anything I want to try.

So yes a BIG thank you for this.

Can enemy ships hear when you ping depth?

Yeah probably will if they are close enough I'd say. But im on my way to my patrol area now, and what've been doing just as I used to in SH3 is to ping the bottom at many areas, and making note of the shading of the map, and the depth readings I get and then I can pretty much tell by the shade of blue on the map at my location what the depth is likely to be. That way I dont have do any pinging once I make contact with an enemy.

It's kind of a study of the depths according to the map shading using the depth sounder while im still in safe waters before reaching an area I might run into an enemy contact. too bad we cant write things on the map, or you could as you do the depth checks just note it on the map what the depth was pinged at at different places along your route.

I hope its realistic so they hear it, if they are close enough.

I allways check depth before engaging, its foolish to make a crash dive on 25 meters... LOL

I found the .cfg file but alas, how do I explore or edit it? Please advise as I'd love to know how deep it is out here!
