[tAKticool47]

Thank you very much sir, appreciate the response and info


I have asked once or twice in various threads but never got a straight answer- so let me ask you this- I realize there is not a "newer version" or successor to Dangerous Waters, but is there another comparable modern naval sim? Other than Cold Waters, which just doesn't seem to be what I am looking for.

To be honest , 688i was my favorite but DW is basically just a much more better, newer, upgraded version of 688i.... but I really yearn to play some platforms that are in DW but not playable, like an Arleigh Burke or Tico or even maybe an Aircraft Carrier (it would be cool to be the 'captain' of the carrier, even if you didn't fly the planes, you could control them and their orders and control the ship etc.)

Anyway thanks again

It almost sounds like you're looking for Jane's Fleet Command. Try searching for that title on YouTube, I know there were some videos covering it (early Jive Turkey?).
JFC is old school, I'm not sure if it was released before or after 688i and I've never played it but it looks like its the traditional 688i user interface but with more of a "top down" view (JFC looks to me like its more about strategy than eye candy but it does run in real time).

I know I've seen it bundled with other Jane's/Sonalyst titles on Amazon or else check Steam or GOG.

For the RA crew on the new "combo patch" for 1.43.

I look inside the package and find that Sicilian Wedding has been updated.

[Barleyman]

Is there any summary of changes in the mod? I know there's the weapon platform manual. I presume there are also sensor changes and the like. e.g. do we get TB-23 for 688i etc? Yes we do but short of going through USN database for 3ach platform..

[p7p8]

Sure

 

Release Full DWX Version Pack 1.43 -FINAL CUT-

Non Commercial,Unofficial, ADD-ON TO GAME "DANGEROUS WATERS" OF THE MANUFACTURER "SONALYSTS" Inc.

Requirements:

Game version - 1.04 build 378.
Language - ONLY ENGLISH VERSION ( Or Any National Language Localization Patched ENGLISH v 1.04 ).
Free Space: It is desirable 1 Gb on Your hard Disk.


This add-on be tested and installing at OS MS Windows-XP Sp3, Windows7 64, Windows 8 [with special video support file]

MOD PREVIEW:

This ADDITION made specially for improvement of REALNESS and expanding the potential the -DW- game.
Concept assumes SIM of authentic behaviour.
We simply have tried to make it by more plausible. As far as it was allowed [As the game is the completed program and is not friendly for modable.]...

We do not make countless and useless platforms.
We're doing the right job, for those that are presented.

The database is edited specially.
As the hard coded physics of game works incorrectly, some inputs in a database were specially edited.
That that you see in a Database - not mistakes.
For example - if you will put real weight of the helicopter in 3-4 tons,
then the helicopter will not be long to fly - he will fall in water. (Or SLBM Missile with real weight of 80.0 tons )
It is simply surprising - having the real characteristics unit in a Data Base -
you receive a disabled platform or weapon. (I think some guy from SCS has made
the is very dirty own job.)

Some mathematical formulas were thoroughly rewritten for correct work - concerning
acoustic conditions of operation, cavitations profiles, etc.

Many types of weapons, actually modelled as REAL operating conditions, such as MK 60 CAPTOR, Torpedoes APR, MK 48 ADCAP, and many other.

Installation Steps

I recommend to install it on the "clean" version 1.04 - without any other mods [even RA any previous version].

For installation and correct work of this addition, precisely follow my recommendations.

1. Install -Dangerous Waters- game.

2. Install Patch v 1.04

3. Placed unrar this add-on ['RA_OPFOR_DWX1_43' Folder Name and 'Install_RA_OPFOR_DWX1_43' BAT file ] at root directory Your game [ C:\...\Dangerous Waters ]

4. Launch Install_RA_OPFOR_DWX1_43.bat file for install pack.


NOTE:

* - Install_RA_OPFOR_DWX1_43.bat file and 'RA_OPFOR_DWX1_43' Folder must located precisely in some place as DangerousWaters.exe file

Reinstallation Conditions
Reinstallation: Is possible only on the original version of game - if at You this was already established addition, for reinstall, it is required completely to remove game and to make repeated installation of original game with a patch 104.
Before repeated installation of addition - after removal of game - remove the manually stayed files and folders from this addition/It is necessary to clear a folder of interfaces!/.
Only after that the addition - Reinforce Alert - will be efficient.

== HOW CREATE COMPATIBILITY -RA- Mod WITH OTHER VERSIONS ==
JGSME COMPATIBLE MANUAL /By -Goldorak-/:
Actually you can make DWX jsgme compatibile but it is not automatic.
First you have to install DWX over DW 1.04 with no other mods.
Then you backup the DW directory with DWX version, put it somewhere on your disk.
Deinstall DW. (after removal of game - remove the manually stayed files and folders from this addition)
Reinstall DW 1.04.
Install Jsgme and lwami ( or other mod or default version SCS ). Now inside the directory of DW you'll find the mods folder. First disable all mods compatible with jsgme.
Then take the backup DW which had DWX installed and copy it inside the mod folder.
Finally you can activate or deactive DWX, or LwAmi ( or deafault SCS version ) normally.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Some types of the weapon is significant the algorithm of behaviour is advanced - it gives enhanced use of weapons, depending on ambient conditions - the presence of the layer, bottom depth, etc. etc..
We urgently recommend to read a manual to the weapon from the very beginning.
Some options are described only in one place - for example, option of recognition CM and option ReAttack, is only in the description of a torpedo MK 48 ADCAP, in other torpedoes we any more do not duplicate twice - as it works.
Assigned Subrocs of torpedos in various modes of search, Assign waypoints for TLAM of missiles, etc etc...
Now are available 2 TIW of the separate message - for a torpedo and for a missile of undersea launched.
TIW (torpedo in the water) the message for a torpedo - distance is reduced. Now player can earlier find out a torpedo, than the message TIW comes. TIW for a torpedo will act is last boundary of the warning inform.
The new message - " Undersea Missile Launch " - can comes on significant distances.

* - DataBase was corrected.
* - Some sound defects has been fixed.
* - Some bugs of interfaces the player were removed.
* - Bug when platform with non 100% damage go to bottom, has been removed.
* - Removed the hardcoded bug when the radar spontaneously itself switch on, when the option EMCON is disabled, and the enemy counterdetected.
* - Torpedo lost Target in attack phase has been removed.
* - Autocrew for sonobuoys stations russian platforms repaired.
* - TLAMs missile work has been improved.
* - Uncorrect classification bug fixed.
* - Missile smoke trails has been reduced.
* - Active sonars on subs has been improved.The echo-answer (cue), now is synchronized with a target mark on the sonar display.
* - AI submarines are able to launch missile with the same depth as players. For example Stallion SS-N-16, depth launch increase to 150 meters, the missiles Series SS-N-27 with a depth launch of 100 meters, etc.
* - The information in Player LOG will be saved now constantly - with what platform by what weapon has killed the player.
* - For missiles SS-N-27 Sizzler SSM (Club), the additional mode is stipulated, in which missile can to carry out cruise on a crookedly linear route (similar TASM waypoints plan).
Allowed for Akula SSN and Chinese Kilo Imr Club SS Class.(Russian Kilos this option not support)
* - At submarines useless parameter SNR on broadband sonars was removed. Now this window is named as DTA (Depth Of Towed Array) - that shows the present depth of Towed Array gauge.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When playing MULTI-STATION mode, station shipcontrol and station sonars should be assigned on control ONE player. Otherwise, the depth of the towed sonar will not be shown (static value of 0 meters/feet be show), also the sound for broadband sonar will not be involved.
* - Bug of Ship radars unable to select of the small-size of the missiles - is eliminated. However, on controllable the helicopter and plane it is recommended to the player to use a mode an auto command for small-size targets.It can not show graphically mark on the display of a radar, however auto command is capable to pull this contact.
* - WakeHoming torpedo hardcoded bug has been removed - the torpedo now is capable to work against surface platforms with which the player control.
* - AI ASW planes behavior has been improved. (Relatively Sonobuoy Search Tactic - altitude dropping sonobuoys was increased. 100-200 feets and 165 kts give good behavior sonobuoy search).
* - And there are a lot of other insignificant (but nasty) defects has been corrected.
* - RBU Weapons new mechanics assembled (hardcoded fix)

Ability to launch more than 6 SSM of missiles in one minute. (In the original of game all AI platforms launchers have same ROF - 1 missile per 10 seconds, even VLS)
( Recomended set parameter "SalvoLimit" in DangerousWaters.INI file to value 16,instead 8.)
** - Missile Doctrines fixed (for variable cruise altitudes soviet missiles).
** - Towed Array depth option,switch-off for Multistation game - for prevent CTD.
** - The bug is eliminated when launch missiles from 13-16 VLS there is no voice sound message.
** - Thermal Layer now has effect an torpedo search ability.
** - Kilos SSN: Range transit under electromotor has been increased.
** - Kilos SSN: Fixed a hardcoded bug, where snorkel broken but can still be controlled from the dropdown menu.
** - The helicopters [MH-60 and KA-27] - operative ranges are extended to 50 miles (vs 20 nmi default for 300 feet op. altitude). The steady communication is guaranteed.
** - Active Sonar ranges of "UDALOY", extended up to 36 Km.

It changes mechanics Sim - action of the weapon and platforms, are adhered to real time.
If the torpedo or platform will lose target - she will execute the real answer to a case.
The original version of game, assumes that the weapon works as the trigger - if the target detected, weapon kill this target.
In original game mechanics, missile and torpedoes, always kill LAST found out target, but not depending of large on the size of the signature.
RA does works of the torpedo and missile weapon in real time - any triggers were excluded.
It makes realistic behaviour weapon very accurate and exact.

IMPORTANT: PLATFORM USE FEATURES

Some Platforms have been added new station - Udaloy And Ka-27, MH-60, some SUBs. Check up F+Number.

* "UDALOY"- At creation of mission, do not allow ability for an opportunity of a "Player Has Choice of Platform" for surface units [FFG or DDG] in mission. Each surface controlled platform is unique -

If mission should task complete "O.H.Perry" Class" choice for play ships only O.H.P Class [Any Ship Class O.H.P]. [If to choose instead of O.H.P - UDALOY, the helicopter KA-27 will not be accessible to start for UDALOY, and on the contrary].

However, Perry's or Udaloy's allowed in missions in any quantity, but unique name, without choice another country platform!]


NOTE: "UDALOY" and "O.H.Perry" and also the its helicopters, are selected in separate classes - if you assume participation AI FFG OHP, establish in the editor of mission "O.H.Perry * AI * FFG" Unit, but not "O.H.Perry *User* FFG".
For controlled "UDALOY", create mission with "UDALOY *User* DDG".
For "UDALOY" which will not controlled by the player, put "UDALOY *AI* DDG" at creation of mission.
For correct job of helicopters at management from the ship it is necessary.
It is possible to use the controlled helicopter with the AI ship - in a choice air loadout, put the helicopter which can cope by the player.

It doesn't say anything about getting TB-23 in the 1st place I did check that list in fact and didn't find the keyword..

[p7p8]

It was changed long time ago because when in mission editor you check "Stream TA" - game always stream starboard one.

When TB-16 was't liked by newbie players (because is less sensitive) it was changed only for game purpose (retriving and streaming takes time).


I haven't problem with this (im not orthodox submariner).

BTW searching text about it is in my opinion pointless because it gives you absolutely nothing.
You can accept it or not, and play pure vanilla DW

edit:

I have found this in manual for... LwAmi mod (RA takes some ideas from this great mod)

2.2.2 Sensors
The Seawolf’s hull array no longer has a forward baffle.
The TB-23 towed array has replaced the starboard TB-16 on the Los Angeles. This array was placed on the starboard side instead of the port side (where it is located in the real world) because the starboard array is the default array, and the TB-23 is more sensitive. The TB-23’s sensitivity is about halfway between the TB-16 and TB-29 and begins to wash out above 14 knots.

Hey, the whole point was that I already knew about TB-23.. But yeah, OK, writing summaries is not what most programmers enjoy.

Newbies or not, vanilla has TB-16 only both sides and I can think of a few reason why seasoned players would prefer TB-23 as well. Hearing the bad guy before he hears me being chief among them. On the other hand TB-16 allows more violent manoeuvring And works at higher speeds which is useful at some situations.

One of those things that are anything but obvious if you don't know about it.. Yes, it's in the USNI ref.

[p7p8]

Not only wash out but also breaking speed is important while bad guys shoot at you



BTW i forgot that in vanilla both TA are TB-16

Last time i've play vanilla 6 months ago, only OHP. Sub playing counts not in month but in years.

New Reinforce Alert has been released!

Link

Some info about "Reinforce Alert" (DWX 1_44 version).
1 - Captor Mk 60 (air user) doctrine fix.
2 - Air User Torpedo: Fix Doctrine.
3 - Mode "Direct Run" for torpedoes TU-142 "Bear and MK 3 "Atlantic" assigned by 5555 value MODE/FLOOR parametr.
4 - Bergamini FFG: MU-90 Torpedoes mode "Direct Run" - 9987 preset value (Default Setting).
5 - User Ships: Run To Enable default value fix.*
6 - Driveable IL-38 May: Fix loadout. PMK-2 CAPTOR allowed for loadout in bombbay #1 (ex-wing pylons).*
7 - Fix bug, when false message incoming about splash sonobuoy, when sonobuoy static and not fall into the water.
8 - SeaWolf, Virginia SSN: Trackers increased. 8 and 6 trackers per each sonar suite.
9 - Bergamini FREMM: - Weapons Control Station colors has been changed.
10 - Controllable Ships: SAM missile fix, weapon range launch, now not exited FC Radar range.
11 - Scenario "Sicilian Wedding" assembled for DWX 1.43 and later version play.
12 - Default Scenario "ASW Gauntlet" fix.
13 - Captor Mk 60 and PMK-2 CAPTOR (air user) doctrine fix - impact to the bottom is minimized.
14 - USER ASROCs problem parachute drop - fix.
15 - Controlable Ships: SSM and ASROC missiles presets reworked.
The manual entry of the waypoint distance values is disabled, except for the first waypoint
for the ASROC missiles. It is necessary to use the moving waypoints on the display to exclude default bugs.
16 - The displays of the loadouts were redesigned. Now there are no empty tubes. The bug fix is Victor-III SSN and Trafalgar SSN with an unused empty tube.
17 - Russian kilos - fix tactical numbers of hull, correct names for the current moment and belonging to the class.
18 - The damage system was altered with respect to the tonnage of the vessels. Armor-Damage points were recalculated using the harpoon-3 formulas, as well as correction factors.
Submarines use correction factors for the number of compartments and the presence of a double hull (mainly for Russian subs).
Surface ships - the correction factors for the material from which the ship was built (aluminum aluminum plastic, etc.). Also, Soviet technology uses a correction factor of 0.9 for the strength of the case.
Torpedoes - the number of explosives corresponds to the coficient 6. (since direct contact with the body of the object at the point of detonation)
Subsonic missile - the weight of explosives corresponds to the actual weight of the explosive.
Supersonic and heavy supersonic missiles - the weight of explosives is increased by correction factors - since the effect of penetration of the ship's side and compression explosion inside the hull.
Etc.
After recounting, the Armor Damage was scaled to the grid of the DW.
19 - Driveable UDALOY DDG: the graphics of the displays on most stations are redone.
20 - MILAS ASROC user missile: Range in ASW mode fix to 35 nmi (64.8 km).
21 - SILEX ASROC user missile: Range in ASuW mode fix to 48.6 nmi (90 km).
22 - User Typhoon 941 SSBN: Addded SAET-60M Torpedo.
23 - User OHIO SSBN: FireControl Station, preset for Captor mine was redone.

26 - An object was added to the landing pad on the ice floe for the helicopter.
27 - Iran: New platform added. Fouque LCT, Wellington UCAC, Ghadir SSW.
28 - Removed the default bug when a submarine (and other platforms) with a damage point below 100 can not be damaged by ice keels and ice coverage.*
29 - AI Helo: Distance launch torpedoes over target reduced.*
30 - User Ships: Radars sweep period set to real value.
31 - Driveable S-3 Viking: LLTV Camera changed to IR.*
32 - User IR Stations: Now mark contact with classification (Surf, land etc) instead unknown.
33 - Tu-142 Bear: Guns station - graphics reworked.

Hi guys...

...so I was having this problem before this latest RA upgrade. I installed it hoping it would fix it but it didn't. You guys might remember I was having problems last year , particularly with the Seawolf-class submarine, but I eventually reinstalled everything step-by-step-by-meticulous-step and it was working fine. But eventually...after a month or two...

A lot of non-sub vessels crash upon loading. The Udaloy and the Bergamini (which I would really, really like to use, often) crash always after I load them. Quick Mission, in a custom mission, makes no matter. The loading bar loads 3/4 of the way and then stops, and then after a second, Windows Crash. I have to CTRL-ALT-DEL and stop the process from the task manager.

Now it just happened with an MH-60.


A week ago, I tried on a whim to go into the Win-10-Support folder, copy the DLL and paste it like it suggests.... Presto! Fixed and Udaloy/Bergamini worked! Next time I turned on my computer, though, same thing, crashing. And when I try copy-and-paste again, no dice.


Something is up, any ideas? Nearly all the other vessels work (I can't say I tried them ALL but no other ones have crashed that I recall.)

Thanks again

Try going to "%LocalAppData%\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Sonalysts Combat Simulations\Dangerous Waters" and remove all .lod files and see if it makes any difference.

[tAKticool47]

My machine is set up with an SSD drive for Windows and system files and a WD HDD for storage-

Just to be clear, as I have my DW in a D:\ specific directory, shall I be deleting all the .lod files in that directory, or is there another phantom directory in the system files area (which is on my C drive) I need to also seek out ?

Thanks much,

[Pirate]

Check your Dangerous Waters install folder for the .lod files and remove them if you have them there.

Try loading the missions with the problematic platforms and see if it loads successfully now.

Just curious, are you running 32 bit or 64 bit Win 10?

I just got RA 1.44 installed last night and it looks fairly smooth on my machine (Win10 64 bit, I3 CPU, 8 gigs of RAM). Everything I run is off the C drive. I did have some short, minor hangs at first test in some Quick Missions when switching to the replays.

Just keep in mind, RA is kind of an exercise in cramming 20 pounds of stuff in a 5 pound bag. Older flight sim fans can usually relate to what happens when that bag just gives up.
