Hey Guys

Thanks for the speedy responses, much appreciated It's sounding like 20minute loading times aren't uncommon then.

How do you disable the SOAN thing?

[Duke748]

Just spotted this:

To try this load OFEV application, open TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py, find SOAN and change it from true to false.

Thanks

Crikey!!! Disabling SOAN makes a hell of a difference, loads instantaneously now Thanks for the tip.

What is SOAN?

Just ship recognition manual?

Ships Of All Nations aka the recognition handbook as it appears in TWoS though I have no idea if disabling it doesnt also turn off some targeting related functions. I have it off because at the moment I'm modding the game rather than playing it, so it makes no difference to me except for fast load times.

For my game, black screen when loading game is 4 minues with SOAN on, and like 5 seconds with SOAN off.

Hi Vecko,

I stumbled on a little error in TWoS roster:

Polish destroyer ORP Wicher is inaccurately represented in game by Type 34 model, which it didn't resemble at all. Real ORP Wicher was copy of French Bourrasque, which we fortunately also have in game - replacing current model with Bourrasque clone would give Wicher its historical appearance:

I guess using Type 34 might be result of confusion with post-war, Soviet-built ship of the same name which did resemble Type 34

Similar situation with another Polish destroyer ORP Grom, which uses Tribal class 3D model, when real ORP Grom (photo) was more similar to (also present in game) R-Class destroyer (photo). And again, the only ORP Grom with two stacks like Tribal and similar bow shape is post-war ORP Grom from 1950, also built in USSR (photo)
