[REQ] Less "water" poping out from the subs

WOW!

You said they were riding a little high, but I just wouldn't believe you!

That might have a negative effect on crash-dive times.

What is that? Graf Zepplin????

I've been playing with these settings for a couple hours...(all stop sounds like a good idea)
Appearently this skipper wrote the screenplay for the Poseidon Adventure.

this happens if you raise the surface draught and lower the submerged draught
Clearly it will take some experimentation to get them right and it seems the two settings need to be adjusted together, also I noticed when raising the sub higher from the water that the side to side swaying motion was more pronounced, it's possible that other settings like the traverse ect could have pronounced effects as well.

But alas the whole thing is driving me nuts...so I'll leave it to Beery

wow, that must be one of the S boats based in Australia.....everythings upside down there...(or do my dear old Mum used to tell me)

I messed with the S-18 sim file a bit today. The surfaced draught is actually a bit low compared to the photos I've seen of S-Class subs. I adjusted it in the sim file (changed it from 5.257 to 4.957) - made her ride a little higher - just a couple of feet. It lowers the tendency of the boat to spew water out a little.

Actually the biggest problem with the S-class boats is their tendency to fly from one wave to the next in heavy seas. There's something wrong with their weight, since they just don't seem to want to fall into the wave troughs at all.

~S~ Beery, I was cot by a bete in ruff seas the other night in my S-18, I could not make her dive.

Took one hell of a pounding. Finally had to order full stop and let her sink to depth. Lost most my bridge crew

has anyone else had this happen?

Does anyone actually know the texture file used? If I had it my way I would have the texture removed - No water popping out!

Not that my machine can play SH4 without an upgrade, but when I did try, in training mode, I thought this effect spoilt the whole feel of the game, for me anyway, wonder if it would improve fps?
