Thanks Ruby2000 - it looks great

I am getting on great with my run through of the campaign.

But - when I have any of the new ships in the game view - my graphics card is starting to run hot (79C) and fans kick up to 100%

I also had a ctd whilst attacking with deck gun.
I am not sure what is causing this - I remember a post about compressed images for new ships making more work for the graphics card

I have also just tested a mission with no new ships and my card runs at normal temp for games.

I will do some optimisations of the dds files in OPEN HORIZONS II_New_Ships\data\Sea and send it to you .

Which are the new ships? I'll keep an eye out and see if my GPU does the same.

I don't think I've had a CTD with the new campaign. I'm getting an outrageous amount of tonnage in the first campaign, came across two unescorted convoys and went powering in with the deck gun. Second time came out with 53% hull (just now actually), convoy had a couple of armed merchants... dropped them sharpish but not before the first landed landed two lucky hits.

Also had the scariest Scapa Flow experience of any of the versions - I'm running Full now with the extra traffic. Light fog, 4am or so and I take my shots from as far away as possible, then power out at flank on the surface hoping to use the fog to my advantage. I'm out of the first main Southern pipe and heading for the deep water further Southeast, with one DD to my port side and a fishing boat to my starboard. The fishing boat got too close and must've alerted the DD as the searchlight suddenyl insta-locked me thousands of yards out of his vision zone. I dive to periscope and run at mid for a few minutes as the DD just sits there, then before I know it another 3 DDs have come out of the Southern entrance and are literally right on top of me - no rear sonar til November so I have the blind spot front and back!

Frantically call for silent running and they circle over me for three hours, actually scraping the conning tower at one point and setting the boat rolling from side to side... but no hull damage, just a scratch or two to the radio. But not a single DC, not one...! After maybe 4 hrs it's light and they've stopped dead, still pinging in a line formation and I bug the hell out slow & quiet like and change my trousers!

And the best bit... on my way out, 60km maybe from Scapa in the early evening and a Battleship, escorted by 6 DDs hoves into view. The air & waves are crystal clear, low moon and I give it a slow 4 torp spread, magnetic off and flank like hell away & North. Couple of mins later, the Battleship takes 3 out of 4 and goes down, while I'm far North and well clear of pursuit.

It's not all good though. I didn't pay attention to the date just now, and 100km out from Kiel I get the 'base moved to Wilhelmshaven' message!

I ran into something small tonight. I am not sure if its fixable or just the AI doing their thing. I ran into a taskforce and was detected quickly. The cruisers were running over the escorts trying to DC me lol. Its going to be a long night/morning. First picture is date/time/location.

Temp. of 79C is not critical for NVIDIA. I run GTX 260 from PALLIT (not the best choice up to date), most time I have 76-80C even without additional ships. For the safety of video I also use Anilag at 35FPS limit and MSI Ub-r utility.
