Tuning game for surface action?

FightingSteel1 · 03-19-10, 10:54 PM

Thanks for the reply. I'm running this by the way:

OM705
OM705_720
OMEGU_V300
OMEGU_V300_Patch5A
AdmiralScheer_forOM102
AdmiralScheer_forOM102 Patch

I found the sim.cfg file you are talking about, and messed with the

Max fire range=20000 ;[m]

and it doesn't seem to have any effect. Also, the main game files have a sim.cfg and so do the OM and OM Patch mods. Which one do I edit?

On the detection area, what values need to be modified there (and to what number)?

1. uninstall AS_for_OMv102_Patch1
2. Copy the Cfg directory from OMv705_to_V720\Data\ to AS_for_OMv102_Patch1
3. using wordpad edit Sim.cfg
4. Change the following values in the file to equal the items in red

[AI Cannons]
Max error angle=5 ;[deg]
Max fire range=20000 ;[m]
Max fire wait=12 ;[s]

[Visual]
Detection time=3 ;[s] min detection time.
Sensitivity=0.001 ;(0..1) at (sensitivity * max range) we have a double detection time.
Fog factor=0.03 ;[>=0]
Light factor=1.0 ;[>=0]

Reinstall AS_for_OMv102_Patch1

WARNING

If you are going to play the normal Uboat missions in OM, you "MUST" de-install this patch

I really appreciate your help with this. I went through your steps, and now the BBs fire on me at 5 nm, or about 10,000 yards. This is a lot closer to the 11,000 yards I fire at, but I would like to up that a little bit more. Can the detected AI range be increased a little more?

On a side note, Hood fired at Bismarck at 25,000 yards. That is realistic but a little too extreme for this game as you wouldn't even be close to seeing each other in game when firing.

Since I love surface warfare even more than sub, I don't care if these values screw up sub missions right now.
