From the the "README" that you're to "lazy" to read in the first post of the OM thread.

Quote:

7.There are certain files I don't change because of mod compatibility. One of those files is command.cfg which controls the snorkel. You can make the following changes in the command.cfg to toggle the snorkel

[Cmd158]
Name=Toggle_snorkel
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x58,s,"SHIFT X"

special Note: This step is not required if you load OMEGU or OM Plot V300

And I thank you from the bottom of my heart that you think my work is "crap"

To me SH3 + GWX reminds me of the movie Das Boot, whereas SH4 + OM + OMEGU remind me of the actual book by Lothar-Günther Buchheim. Or like Run Silent, Run Deep the movie vs Edward L. Beach's book.

I find OM to be much more baseline and realistic. It might not have all the fancy frills, but you really don't need those anyway, unless of course you find stock SH5 perfectly acceptable. Try a Sonalyst game (Dangerous Waters especially) and you'll understand what I mean.

As for the schnorchel, there is indeed an interface button for it. Two infact. Command room and the periscope bar. Very last icon. The one that looks like a schnorchel (amazing, huh?)

And as Lurker mentioned, you can simply uncomment that line to enable the keyboard command.

I haven't looked to see if the new command.cfgs added in OMEGU v300 already have it enabled or not. It's a pretty simple process to do yourself.

Tried? Me too...

So especially for You Gilbou. Really horny UVIIc/41

Shift + x... It`s working

This is OMEGU.

Its under the Wheel icon submenu. The last one.

I just tested snorkeling today and it works absolutely perfect.

You can raise the snorkel with a toolbar command. Yes the toolbar is confusing, but I found it eventually, and so will you

I believe Snorkel depth isn't important. You can raise the snorkel on the surface and dive to periscope depth.

I believe the button for snorkel depth is the one right to the P. No idea what this is on English keyboard. I use the SH3 Keyboard layout from OMEGU and a german keyboard.

If i recall correctly, the snorkel is/was purely eyecandy in nature, meaning no air would be refreshed and the diesel engines would not work while snorkeling.

Is there an update to this? does it finally work?

looney · 04-08-10, 06:49 AM

It does work the only thing wich doesn't work is the co2 levels will continu to rise. So you need to surface like once every day. for less tan 5 mins.

You are right and wrong. It always worked but not for refreshing the air. Your C02 levels will still rise, but the diesels will work and increase your speed. I escaped a bad situation once using it with one of our IJN subs when the electrics were destroyed (well actually one destroyed, the other badly damaged) When I could I would raise the snorkel make a short run at flank then lower it, repeat. I got far enough away from the DDs and finally I escaped on the surface.

AA... Humm... I read about forced AA, I got ATI card and with CCC I forced AA, so I think now is okay

If not, I`m waiting for your suggestions

But... Have a look on these small points on the water below water line...

By the way. Your skins are very good and I like it. And I asked on other thread about a rusty and green covered U-boat. I saw this in some mod/add for GWX. I don`t remember name and author of that, maybe Rusty Camo

A yeah... My native res is 1280x1024. I know, poor, but...

Money :P
Thanks

No, I think in the second screen it's fine. The white dots are something else (software related), you needn't worry about that.

Can you be a bit more specific? Which type of boat? There are some rusty green skins for the type IX, but they are already installed by OM.

Ah, and the skins are not mine, but fubars

I only bundled them for easy usage. He is the great artist.

It was VII but I don`t remember now... VIIb or VIIc... I found it on the German? site.

Software? Do you mean ATI drivers? Last one 10.3
Okay. Anyway, thanks a lot for reply
