[WIP] Dynamic Environment SH5

[Dagoland]

Now I understood well, thank you very much.
I'll miss the really big waves.
But you are right, always distorts the wake of the sub.

nice work!!!

This is excellent work ... and going to be well worth the wait .

those many different weather cfg files are very important for the game, nice pictures

You can make the wakes stay. You just have to edit the controllers responsible for the wakes and set the min altitude lower, say like -3 or -4. IIRC they are currently at -2.

This is a good information... so to not have side efects what is the max parameter that i can use there?... anyway i will make tests and i will make a very bigs and scary waves

The max parameter will be defined by:
- calm seas
- running ahead flank
- diving the sub and seeing if the wake disappearing time is ok (which is dependent upon the sub's depth)

We just got an ideea after Dagoland pop up his question about waves... so i need some advices... we want to put near big ports area in game not so big waves like in open sea... this will increase the immersivity of the game... so i need some suggestions... what you think should be the highest wind speed in areas near big ports?

Good point Dagoland

Also if you have another sugestion about weather to increase the immersivity of the game and if is posible to do that your sugestions are more than welcomed...

So please give me a maxim number for the wind near ports areas

regards

EDIT: just go in hystoric mission... go near port area... put wind 15 and see if is wired... and lower the wind until you will catch the right value... i can not to do that because i was never in a port and i never saw how big waves are in ports

[Zedi]

Depends on location. You will never have waves like in Hawaii in LaSpezia etc. Is not just about wind power, but also the shore geology. I dont think this a good idea because pushing things beyond the game limits will cause side effects. Enviro mod had some nice rogue waves tho...



If the waves are just too high a sub would dive anyway is pointless to ride a hurricane.

Well try to help even a little, because my knowledge in what you do is limited, at least I can do is give some suggestions, and put some small idea.
You guys are doing the SH5, something completely different than it was, no wonder that at some point, use the engine of SH5 and experience in the MODs created a simulator, entirely new someday.

The last image you uploaded, that's the kind of waves that one expects to find in the Atlantic Ocean. Now however, the biggest waves seen in the English Channel, was a few days before the proposed date of D-Day, and after D-Day, there was another major storm that destroyed the artificial harbors that were created with shipwrecks.
The waves that gets screwed the landing bridges and piers, were of the order of 2 to 3 mtrs high, although this is a less common, in my opinion I think the really big waves should be alone at sea.

I enjoyed the image of the wave, bigger than the sub, excellent wallpaper.
I think a good idea of the waves, which can be seen at sea, is where you see in DAS BOOT, now that's a rough sea.

Greetings
