Welcome to SubSim
Be more agressive. Play without event and external camera. So, no problem....

Question: is there a mod which add clouds of air bubbles when ship is sinking and going underwater?
With which ships did you notice missing bubbles? ShipBubbles zone that generates this effects works fine in SH5 and many ships do use it. I haven't checked all, but adding relevant zones to a ship is literally 5 minute job.

Thanks for your interest. I have been studying/testing this issue for couple of days (normal play/campaign) and I didn't notice any bubbles for any sinking ship . I use TWoS 2.2.16. Example on screenshot: Cimarron Tanker.


Could you show me which files i should modificate to add bubbles?

I don´t know if this could solve the problem, but the latest version of TWoS is 2.2.24. Try with it. I can´t see this problem because I play without cameras.

Best regards.

there's no risk for savegames, unless you use very old TWOS version )

Just looked at it and Cimmaron doesn't use bubbles. This is a stock game ship so I suppose other stock game ships might not have them too, as opposed to imported SH3/4 ships where I often saw bubbles zone used.

I'll post instructions how to change this in ships later today.

Since at least 2.2.19 introduced major changes in campaign layer, updating from 2.2.16 to 2.2.24 should probably be done while in port and not on patrol in order not to mess up your saves.

I'm looking forward . I was searching ShipBubbles or sinkBubbles by GobilinEditor but couldn't find such things.

I see errors in the Excel file included in WoS for calculating the correction of altitude due to refraction.


1) The correction for refraction is to be applied on the apparent altitude (measured altitude minus the dip). It is not the case in the file


2) Parenthesis in the formula for defining the refraction correction is not correctly placed


1/TAN((B31+7,31/(B31+4,4)*PI()/180)) should be
1/TAN((B31+7,31/(B31+4,4))*PI()/180)


3) Apparent altitude in the formula is to be defined in Degree (°) (B31 here above in Degree). It is not the case in the file



It means that the correction due to refraction is totally wrong. Hopefully the influence of refraction on the final result (transfer on the azimuth line) is quite small

Of course my previous post is only valid if refraction is simulated, what I don't really know.

Influence of refraction starts to be significant with low altitudes (deviation of 2.5 arcmin at 20°, deviation of 10 arcmin at 5°) and it is not usual to measure altitude close to the horizon.

1100 download attempts! That's some dedication

Don't throw yourself anywhere. Keep calm and we'll get you through this.

Don't throw out the computer too, you'll need it.

Detailed instructions are here:

If you get stuck at any point, post at which step you had a problem and we'll see what could be done.
