A simple idea on modding 'rig for silent running' command

[Penelope_Grey]

The stock value for the figures Ref just posted are 0.40

that will get you 3 knots out of all the subs, with the exception of the XXI which will get you 8 knots.

Thanks ref not exactly what I had in mind but thanks anyway.
So I guess rig for silent running is hardcoded to be attached with Ahead slow speed eh?


Will changing ahead slow speed change the surface speed? I guess it will. I'm always set my surface speed at ahead slow being paraniod about the fuel status.

[robbierob2005]

It will change both surface and submerged speed. Only if you edit the speed that you travel at 1 knot submerged you will travel at 2 knots on the surface.

if i rig for silent i rig for silent

no reload, no repair, no toilet, no farting, no bernard, no music, no singing, no eating, no drinking, no radio messages, no torpedoe-ing, no breathing, 0.01% of a knot ahead (and thats SLOOOOOOOOOOOOW!) all i need now is red light at this command

This is exactly what I would like to see; I would like lights automatically switch to red every time I order silent running. Does anybody know if this is configurable or not?

Concerning realism: why would you want to do that? Red light was used as a night illumination because red light is less visible through an open tower hatch than white or yellow light is. For underwater operation in order to save energy blue lights were used, because blue lightbulbs with less wattage than normal bulbs could be used to achive the approx same illumination.

Yes, I know it's unrealistic and dum, but I just wanted to know if it can be done. Maybe I just would like to have some kind of "visual feedback" that we are running silent...

I'd like to see this too. But the last time I talked about it with someone who understand tweaking the interior lights file this is not possible.


We need DivingDuck to answer for sure though. His Readme file for tweaking the interior ambient light sounded like it was possible:hmm:.

Here's the excerpt: Purpose : "The ambient light color for silent runnning may not be changed using them."

My understanding is:
There is no controller to change the lights as far as when they come on and off.
Colors, no problem.
When, problem.
Two Dreaded words.
Hard Code.

I know shameless for quoting myself

Privateer now I think I know what that DivingDuck's Readme tells. It means it is impossible to differentiate between normal running and silent running ambient light.
