SH4 Graphics on KSDII-Ace

Some fellows use auxilary graphics apps that ride between the game and the display, and they can help even more, but most of those just bump-up the color depth, like an old movie film. I have a 27" 1920x1080 display, and for my eyes, is a really nice happy medium for these older eyes...

Thanks! Yes, it seems fine to me for now ... will leave it alone most likely.

Okay, I applied the same graphic card settings that I use for Sh3 ... looks much better, also, almost no more AA-stair-stepping ... let's see how it will work from here on out ...

Hi All,

Found another couple of interesting points:

I seem to notice that with increasing wind speed as of 5 or 6 m/s, the bridge crew become somewhat transparent, i.e., one can see the horizon line going right through them.

Is that "normal" Sh4/KSDII graphic behaivour?

Also, just a question: Does the bridge crew "put on the rain coat" as of a certain wind speed/rain/cold weather?

Many thanks!

If you have the Environmental box ticked in the Options, Graphic Settings, your crew will become ghost figures in SH4, and the worse the weather gets, the worse it looks. I do not know the mod well enough to comment on it specifically, but that is a "feature" of SH4... The deck crew will not put on their slickers until they are about to be carried away by the seas, which is also another "feature" of the game... If it is just a "normal" rain or medium winds and rain, they usually do not don proper gear. Only in gale force winds and heavy rain do they seem to worry about staying dry... They will never don cold weather clothing, even inside the Arctic circle when chasing a Russia-bound convoy on the surface... in fact, you might see "Mr Muscles" topside with no shirt at all, or maybe his athletic shirt. At least he put britches and shoes on...

Yes, unticked the box and it's fine now. Thanks!
