Hi Onealex (and Fifi):

I´m trying this mod and at first sight it looks awesome, both gameplay and graphics. I´m playing - mainly - SH4 FOTRSU and SH5 TWoS, but I want to play some campaign with the old reliable SH3, so here I am.

I have some questions:

- I noted the mod don´t have full interiors. Is there some way to add the interiors mod without provoke a mess with the mod? I played SH3 with full interiors for years, and I miss it.

- I started a new campaign via Commander. I put with the emerging SH3Weather app some gale for sea, clouds partial, no fog, no rain. But when I started the campaign (Kiel, April 1941), I had heavy clouds, heavy rain, full fog, and heavy seas (it could be "gale", though). And the crewmen on deck didn´t have heavy weather clothes, as should be for this weather. Is this a normal behaviour or am I missing something when starting Commander and the emerging Weather app? (I can live with this problem, but really I miss the full interiors).

Many thanks for this great mod!

Best regards.

Fitzcarraldo

Ahoy, Fitzcarraldo...

I believe the default when you get on the boat, & this also applies to going from good, clear weather, to rough stormy seas & rain... is the crew are not in foul weather gear... unless you're submerged & surface into that kind of weather.. so the crew will show up in it, in that instance... otherwise... you'll have to either do a submerge & quick resurface... or manually move the guys from the bridge, into the sub & then back out on to the bridge to get them into foul weather gear... I generally find doing the quick submerge/surface to be the less painful option.

On the other question, pertaining to full interior.. am going to defer to someone else responding to that part...

Hope this info helps...

M. M.

Hi Fitzcarraldo
In version 1.28 U-boat interiors mod was removed due to heavy load on the computer.

I have a powerful PC (but not an SpaceX or NASA computer). Perhaps the interiors will not be a problem for me. Can I activate the full interiors mod with JSGME or it is a mess? Last year I tried WAC 5 with interiors and it worked well, more than 60 FPS in ports (fixed in 30 FPS with Nvidia Inspector.

Many thanks for your answer!

But we have other side - game engine which can make CTD. Anyway it is your choice. My modpack is without full interiors mod so you should do it by yourself

OK. I'll try the interiors and report the results here.

Many thanks.
