[WIP] FX Update

[Teiwaz]

I haven't seen an ejecting pilot yet, but after reading that pilots drown I wonder if you could see them underwater via periscope. Maybe someone with an AA testing mission could take a look on it (or TDW could tell if he had such a possibility in mind when adding this drowning feature ).

Another issue I want to address once more is the inaccurate diving depth. If you order periscope depth you end up floating around 10-11 meters instead of 13 meters. If you order 50m depth you end at 48m. Not that big of a deal (just order 2m more but you have to give every order on the depth gauge, so there's no working shortcuts for periscope or snorkel depth), but it get's very annoying over time to say the least.

the anticipation is killing me, i can only imagine the sight a great war ship
watching her slip beneath the waves,going down by the head,her stern
rising out of the water as the destroyers rush to my position....great times ahoy

This is due to the Issue I outlined to you in this post http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=182225

Here let me show that it works for correctly calibrated dials. (As stated Mine are to my knowledge the only dials in SH5 that are done correct - stock and all other dials I've seen have the same error).

Ok First Instance selecting depth via Dial.



Now second Instance calling for a depth via a command ie: Pericope depth.




The error works both ways - If you click the dial the cfg file is callibrated compared to the graphic dial to be a few degrees out hence the 2m depth error.

Also the same is true for reverse when you order a depth the sub is actually reaching the correct depth - its just the dial is displaying what the depth should be - but due to the error in degrees , it just looks like its 2m out in depth.

Hope that clears it up And any one with a UI please take note that your dials not just depth all need to be calibrated correctly.

When I did my UI all stock dials had a few degrees error in them.

Hello TDW,

when I use U-Boat historical Specif. v. 1.7 and your great FX Update mod v. 16.2, I have to activate your FX_Update_0_0_16_2_UHS_Fix too?

Also:

U-Boat Spec. 1.7
FX_Update_0_0_16_2_TheDarkWraith

and then

FX_Update_0_0_16_2_UHS_Fix?

FX_Update_0_0_16_2_UHS_Fix overwrite newest UHS mod 1.7.

In your case since you don't use my UI mod use the UHS and not mine. If you were using my UI mod you would use it's files.

If your using UHS 1.7, you do not need the FX_Update_0_0_16_2_UHS_Fix

*Keep in mind you do not need Depth Keeping Problem Fixed, FX_Update 16_2 UHS fix nor the IRAI No Surface Hydrophone and Aircraft Spotting....

ok then, I stand corrected
