Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the starshells/flares part of FX_Update? Are they now in IRAI?

I had to deactivate both flares & starshells on my old rig, as they always caused massive stutter just prior to launch. That said they really do look great, and its certainly authentic - but the performance is the biggest issue, and I've seen a fair few subsimmers posting about deactivating them for that reason.

I've since upgraded GPUs, so if they are in the new IRAI I'll give them a look to see if performance is better on the new card - but it's the performance, not the visuals on the flares that concern most users I think. Only sunk one merchant so far, but will report back when I encounter them

FX_Update had my version of starshells that I made for SH3 that relied upon entries in the unit's .eqp file and an invisible gun. The starshells in IRAI are handled by the game itself - no editing files or anything. I just tell the game fire starshells and it does the rest

If you leave the values as is (don't edit the init.aix), aka as designed, then everything is as it should be

Yep, it's ok. That 'upgrade' is just one file - sim.cfg. This file makes the AI easier to cope with

Why are you using the upgrade? Have you tried the enemy AI without the upgrade? I find the upgrade makes them WAY too easy to evade/escape from

I'm currently testing v35. Watching the new (again) AI sub behavior to ensure they don't get slaughtered by the ship's gunfire along with some other things

Aha! In that case, I'll report back on the performance as & when I encounter them.
