@will-rommel

just remove that thumbs.db , its a windows os file that gets created to show thumbnail views of whatever the image is in the folder. ie not required in anyway. over write if you wish, its not a file used by SH5.

Amazing to see you doin' mods for SH again. Loved your SH3 stuff!!

[dagamecat]

Very nice, good work.

OT - I was browsing your website and my jaw nearly dropped. I remember you from some time ago from the old Orbiter m6 forums, if this is indeed you! I followed with great interest the superb modelling work you were doing for a fantastic looking addon.

Nice to see you around here, and your talent going to work on SH5

The new clouds are amazing

JSGME reports a conflict with the "Thumbs.db" file if i try to enable them after. Whats is this file and what may i expect to lose from the previous mod if i overwrite it?

Thanks for your nice work btw !

my mod should not effect any other mods. your good to go. does not matter what way you install.

This is simply UBer awesome deer lord this your sound mod and the sun rays one wow its simply stunning and its only been a week since release

[walsh2509]

Installed your mods and great they are , but one thing and I think its the Smoke mod for I didn't see it with the stock smoke, when I installed the Smoke mod and I hit a ship and the smoke and flames went up ( smoke looking fine ) when zoomed in with my P/Scope x 4 in the middle of the flames Square Over Lapping Turning Boxes.

Please wait for next smoke mod version to fix the problem with smoke. It will be here soon. Regards.

[McHibbins]

May you add some "Before / After" pictures with your next release pls ?

[Sailor Steve]

YES!!!




You've come out of hiding!

I still use (and recommend) your Hi-Res Small Moon mod in SH3 today, as well as the original Das Boot Officers mod.

Thanks for doing this!

And Deckwave not good,Its error is speed, not a pattern

Hi,
Mi moon is in fact a realistic figure:




Moon phase is depicted in alpha channel. You should not depict in in rgb chanels if you want it integrates good with sky color.

The problem with Deckwave is not only speed, also where the wave geometry is placed, very away from hull. Also it is too much sutile IMO. For sure if the geometry of wavedeck was correct, more near to the hull, this mod would not have sense as it is now, but while somebody, or myself, not change that geometry position this textures look better than wavy ones.
