Finally! Rough seas have impact on sub's speed and range(with high TC)

The 3DRender value is the maximum Time Compression setting at which the game will render 3D. Currently it will only render 3D up to a TC of 32 ( the default 3DRender = 32 ), so at TC=64 things would 'smooth out' as the game ignores waves and wind etc.
I also noticed that by putting my setting to 256 that audio messages from the crew continue to play at that higher TC ( like the Navigator calling out a weather report ).

I set my 3DRender=256 as that's the usual TC I use when I travel in open water. I'll have to see if that setting's a bit too high as I approach a port.

I've noticed that too but really it's not a big deal...

I think 256 is a way to hight for port proximity, everything above 64 is very CTD risky ... Not to mention how many times i've found my boat spining in the woods due to high TC...

My game drops to 1TC just before I hit land . Useful with real navigation

Heh, mine too, but sometimes it's just too late...

Haha.. ya that's too high when near port.

I meant that with 3DRender set to 256 there will be rendering (including audio) even at lower settings [ like tc 64 ], so there would be a higher load on the computer than there was before when approaching port at those lower TC settings.
( Happy to say I've not run aground yet even using Real Nav.. but I've been really close! )
