If I look at the sun I see this:



No flare!
Yes, latest patch 1.2 and latest video driver. Any suggestions?

what vid card? ati doesnt support the feature known as bloom

[N.Soseki]

Yes, it's an ati. Is it a driver problem? Maybe with new driver will be solved?
Thanks for your replay

Seems like an ok patch so far although the change to proper res and FSAA has started to scare my system - running with everything maxed @ 16 x 12 with x4FSAA Boy, does the volumetric fog now make it cry! Still, it looks pretty. Changing the devedit stuff in the Main.cfg did have a positive effect this time though - I got an extra 8 - 10 fps after I switched that on. I'm going to mess with my Nivdia setting until I see a bit of an improvement. I might even just leave fsaa off altogether as it still looks pretty nice now without it.

I've only really played the torpedo training mission so far - managed 4 misses out of 4, lol, I can't believe it. The additon to the pos. keeper are nice but, unless i'm doing something wrong, the chronometer / speed readout is still broken. You do seem able to turn radar off now , though. I was getting bombarded by reports when I was leaving Midway so I turned it off - no more reports.

Does anyone know whether there was a 'detailed wave ripples' graphics option in 1.1? I don't remember it but that might just be me.

On??? or did you mean you set the values to No?

Sorry, i meant 'No'. My fingers are working about a second before my brain today.

I saw an increase anyway, as I said. Didn't have any effect for me in 1.1

Try 9knts for target speed and see what the PK says.

#3 Torpedo Attack:
Subs' Heading = 000 due north and speed 0
Target heading = 102.674
Target speed = 9knts

Yep, everything was set up as I normally do when I play this mission (i use it for testing various mods,) Usually I get 100% hits. It's no doubt a mistake on my part, though. I probably forgot to update the tdc with some information.
