Alot of comprimises has been made in the development of PE4, f.ex the water will still be dark during sun sets / sun rise when there are alot of wind, these thing can not be changed, because of how the SH4-engine works.

Is it normal that the Sub is so good visible under water? Especially in the distance?

€: ok, its normal.
But i can't become friend with the underwater colour. I think the blue looks a bit too artificial.

Well that's good news...looking forward to the testing..

I didn't know there was a difference.. I alway thought the colours for the pacific and atlantic waters would be the same... whatever...that's just details...can't wait to see for myself

Cheers!!

The underwater colour where made by comparing real life pictures of the pacific ocean, you can see my inspiration here (warning big picture )

I know it's not 100% correct, but it's getting close? - it looks alot more like the picture when the submarine are near the surface.

Work? What's that?? :rotfl:
I'm an unpaid researcher, doing what's called a PhD thesis (I call it slave work though!). These days I'm busy doing absolutely nothing in a beach in northern Greece, and that gets boring after the first three weeks! :p

Hm ok, compared to the real picture it looks quite good (sometimes realism <> more beautiful )
But something still irritates me, maybe its the good visibility + the weird green touch of the sub(in the blue water). Dont know if you have an effect on this.

Btw: the stormy setting looks very good.
Btw2: I think the rolling of the sub is not perfect. With small waves it's rolling for such a big object quite much. On the other side in storms my feeling is that it could be more.

Hi Extra, I have tried to make the effects a little more subtle and modified the underwater fog and visibility, is this better?


The rolling of the sub have been reworked for PE4 and should behave more realistic now and the sub ride the waves lower, here is a picture of it, it's dificult to show on a picture..
