Annoyance

I've been using Living Breathing Ocean since long before it became part of Reflections on the Water and I haven't seen a flying submarine in months. But I'd take a flying submarine with a smile just to get Leo back on his feet. What a shame it just isn't that easy. Some things are just more important and subs flying between waves when the solver of the problem's life is at stake. Hang in there Dave!

I've tried LBO and the difference is not enough to compensate for what I don't like about the mod: darker water, more pronounced zebra striping, loss of surface transparancy. The wave height in the strongest storms are reduced so greatly, they no longer wash over the bow or cause the neat over-bow wave effect let alone wash over the deck or the bridge. This greatly reduces the rough water immersion factor. The bow pitch effect is also almost none. Since this affects all the other models. I also prefer to watch the merchants bounce around a little more.

Although the original boyancy model leaves something to be desired, I prefer the more pronouced dynamic environment. After all, I'm not in a 15m/sec storm all the time, nor am I forced to watch the sub in external view all the time.

That's why I took off LBO from the Mod list. It affected Sober's Super Mod which had some fine looking effects. I tried the alterations in the file and it's much better. The sub pitches and rolls a lot even in calmer waters. But it's better than being swamped by tsunami-type waves and hanging ten on a sub surf-board.
