Silent Hunter 2 Free Camera and AI Torpedo

Aarowa · 01-18-12, 06:36 PM

Hi mates, i'm new to this forum and i have a question for SH2 sim game. I downloaded fletcher's enhancement mod and installed it but for the life of me i could not make the camera to go underwater/surface freely although i replaced my sim.ini with his sim.ini. Really what has to be changed in the sim.ini to make the camera move freely underwater and surface just like it does when viewing a torpedo.

Btw. i have another question mark in my mind for a time here. The AI units never seem to fire torpedoes in the game. Really is this the way how it should be or can it be configured within "scenario.ini"s with configuring ROEs? I haven't tested enemy subs yet but here i'm referencing AI destroyers, they seem to have torpedo entries in their unit definition .ini files so they should have no problem using them, as far as i know.
Thanks and appologize if these seem really dumbest questions on earth.

WELCOME ABOARD!

There is no true "free" camera in SH2, only the one that is tied to each ship.

I don't recall the torpedoes for AI units. I vaguely recall enemy DDs firing in Destroyer Command, but even that memory may be wrong.

Someone should be along with more information soon.

thanks all but still need an answer if there is a way to make ships fire torpedoes by configuring ROEs from the scenario.ini
