ISP 2.0 is READY!

RFB, RSRD, NMMO, ISP 2.15. Feb 42 About 40 nm north of Java. 15 m/s winds and what must be like 40 or 50 foot waves that are confusing my diving officer as he constantly says "current depth 2-0". Normally I submerge until the typhoon passes but I wanted to get in on the Battle of Java Sea.

I catch up with the ABDA force outbound from Surabaya. I'm w/sw of them when I notice that roughly 1/3 of them are sinking so I started looking for the enemy with the external cam - nothing and no gunfire from the ABDA force and no shell splashes or explosions, just the eerie sounds of sinking ships. So I'm not 100% sure they were sinking from the waves but that's what it seemed like.

At this time, steer course commands were impossible with any TC. E.g. Steer course 320 with 32 TC resulted in a course of 280 within 15 secs of actual time. Following a plotted course worked and I could see "3 deg stbd" down by the heading/rudder pos dial.

In not quite three months of game time, I've encountered these "typhoon" conditions 3 or 4 times. 1 or 2 typhoons/month in the S Pacific seems excessive.

I love this mod and the fact that people much smarter than me are continuing to improve SH4. Just some humble (not very well documented) feedback. Is decreasing the wave height a simple scene.dat adjustment? I imagine it is more complicated than that. (Forgive me if I've missed something in the readme or on the forums!)
