After trying it out, the foam/wake effects only have a slight negative effect on my frame rate.

Nothing big.

While there is no giant splash for the emergency surface, the water effects in general have greatly improved over the previous version.

Is it possible to make the submarine have ballast tank effects?

Like in the movie, "Crimson Tide," where waters shoots up out of the submarine before submerging.

One more thing, where is the new menu music from?

Excellent work, tomagabriel!

Hi,

Ohio looks good

nice foam+wake on periscope... on low speed 1kn it seem a bit too much but looks great!

foam+wake on the tower is great! and "water" dropping from the planes is really nice feature

Q: can't the missile be homing? currently it needs manual intervention to set the correct tragectory to the target (between 5-10 degrees)

Just a couple suggestions:

Lower Ohio a little bit 42/43ft would give the sensation that water is climbing its bow like the real pictures.

Wake length... would be sweet if the wake could be extended a little bit further than subs length

Bow foam... this one seem a bit out of context, specially when the sub is idle. Cheers

I have an issue with the mod.

For some reason, the updated version of Ohio-class submarine begins to sink very deep when submerged, to the point of her passing the crush depth. I can only keep her surfaced or else she'll sink to the point of implosion.

I fiddled with the depth meter, and pushed the periscope depth button to no avail. The only thing that works is the emergency surface button.

Oh, and good points there, thyro.

@tomagabriel

Perhaps something like this... (I'll drop u a PM with the file)

I just don't know where to lower her to 42ft when surfaced. To get the water over that "spike" at bow and add foam on that "spike" (I'm sorry don't know what it is nor more appropriate word for it).

Cheers

Hi, people!

Thanks for feedback. Sorry for the delay of answer, I just took a free day

Thyro, once again, your suggestions look too good not to implement. I will look into it and post the progress (got your pm too). Do not worry, as I said, the water effects a WIP. To lower the boat search for the NSS_OhioSSBN.sim. Inside this file search (with S3D) the record unit_Submarine and then in this record go to its properties at unit_Ship/obj_Hydro ant then in Surfaced&Submerged change draught. Caution if you want to increase one of them (submerge the ship more) you have to increase the other one with the same value.

I want people to confirm two issues some of you got:
a) ADCAPS turn around before hitting the ships.
b) the submarine dives uncontrollably (when stationary undrwater) until it exceeds maximum depth and is destroyed.

I am asking others because in my case this does not happen. WHat I did: ship stationary, set depth 160m,accelerate time. Once 160m depth is reached stood there for something like 15 minutes and nothing happened. Blow balast and returned to surface. I did not exceed 160m because it is the maximum dept on the stock depth gauge. As for torpedos: are all of them turning around? Or is it just some of them?

Thanks for the insight... I had a look at that file but I don't understand it

b) the submarine dives uncontrollably (when stationary undrwater) until it exceeds maximum depth and is destroyed.

I've not seen it happening while stationary. But diving Ohio at high speed, the sub is unable to get into the desired depth and tend to go further down... I guess that is because its displacement.

Same happen if in high speed (full/flank) lets say if the sub is at 350ft then issue a periscope depth... it does surface entirely 1 or 2 times until it stabilizes at periscope depth.

The Ohio is a amazing addon! Thx for the great work.
