Please understand that this was neccessary in order to avoid some bugs that happened when the submarine entered the 3D world at full speed.

So it's a "feature" that's here to stay.

PS: I believe you when you say it annoys you, but I also believe is not such a big annoyance.

Makes sense to me cant imagine dropping an entity into a 3d world traveling at 12 knots or so. Question is though arent all the AI ships already at speed or do they start at full stop as well. Frankly Ive never noticed.

Always good to hear. I was privileged to partake in the testing for the SH3 1.4b patch. This one sounds good so far. Can't wait to see screens from Pearl Harbor.

Torpedo-doors open (to my regret)instanyly and you can now close them.
Torpedo setting (contact/magnetic) remains when switching between screens and so.

Now i have a silly question

;what is the purose of the button on the torp-setting white/red?

Barkhorn1x · 07-11-07, 11:40 AM

All;

Sounds like a great patch - the one I have been waiting for.

Will wait for the official one and get back into SHIV.

Barkhorn1x · 07-11-07, 11:45 AM

Also;

That "cage-mast' BB screenshot looks very nice. They must have gone to my local Pontiac dealer to get that flag tho'.

With nothing to loose I reinstalled the game (a mod had made a mess of it) and tried the "leaked" beta. Someone said that it's the same as the official version that will be released soon. I hope not, can't get the game to run, loads to the point of resuming a game and then crashes.

And yes, I had ensured that all the old files had been deleted before I did the reinstall.

the_belgian · 07-11-07, 12:00 PM

Try to install 1.2 first and then install 1.3 "over it"

May-be it's the resuming part what screws up. You may well have to start a new career.

Target · 07-11-07, 12:37 PM

Yes Belgian did that, maybe I shouldn't have.

Uh Bando I think you misunderstood me. It's resuming a career after a fresh install with the patch. Not resuming an old career from the previous install. For some reason, after I installed it I was able to start a career but then, later, couldn't return to the game. In fact the game now crashes when trying any of the gametype options.

You can only install changes when you are in port, not in the middle of a patrol. This goes for patches, mods... pretty well anything.

It turns on and off the position keeper. White is off, Red is on. It's visible both from the position keeper and torperdo settings page.

Target · 07-11-07, 02:01 PM

LOL I'll try again, I didn't change anything, it was a fresh install and a new career. It just doesn't seem to like to reload.

Concerning the AA guns in stock vanilla 1.3 beta patch . I feel the balance is perfect . Playing on 100% if you want to stay surfaced and duel it out with planes then you might be lucky and get a few . My impression is that while you might get a few down for little renown its not worth it because its just too dangerous . Sure you can risk it and get a couple maybe , or maybe that first ones a death waiting to happen , sometimes just a few stray bullets , sometimes minor or major damage . Just like in real life . cheers .
