16km atmosphere mod

Zakalwe · 08-26-07, 05:47 PM

Hi,

after my 3rd patrol in GWX I decided to give the 16km atmosphere mod a try.

Enabled it via JSGME and started my new patrol..... wow a very surreal look. I had a black sky at noon with clouds normally lightened.

Any ideas? (Ati 9700pro with CAt 6.2 on W2Kpro)

what does this mod actually do for game play? what are the effects if any ?

It gives you realistic sighting distances. You can see merchants on a good day at 14k, and truly follow them at the edge of the horizon.

Really...

I thought it had to do with the spawning/rendering distance, not necessarily ones own sighting distance.

Will give it go ASAP!

If your PC can handle it you must use this mod!!! It also means that you can abandon your unhistorical dependence on dipping down for a listen all the time too.

Oh, yeah! One day sailing out of Kiel I could still see the lighthouses flashing. I measured the range on the map; it was actually 20km! Sometimes you'll get a "Ship spotted!" message, and when you look all you can see is the smoke. It's almost as fun as AOD was in that regard..."Smoke on the horizon, Sir!"
