[REL] Fifi Enhancements for NYGM

Fifi · 04-03-21, 03:36 AM

Fifi Enhancement NYGM is not available anymore … changed for NYGM Enhanced Hardcore.

Completely new version available in my signature. Readme pdf included for installation

I highly recommend to play this mod with no more than X256 time compression in day time, up to X1024 in night time for the starting years 1939/1942… and all time X256 for last years 1943/1945!

It is not an official megamod release, it is only my own game I have modded for myself… and I wished to share with the Subsim community

Beginners should pass the way because it’s Not for Your Grand Mother! (NYGM)

TIP FOR A GOOD CAREER START AND SAVE GAME LOADINGS:

As usual, choose name, flotilla, start date, sub number...and launch.

Make sure the starting year & flotilla correspond well before clicking start

Then DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING to your U Boat crew and equipment for first mission!! Not even emblem or torpedoes! Leave it stock and start your first mission like that.
(Only realism can be changed of course)

Leave harbor as usual, and once in high seas where nobody is around, save and exit game FROM NAV MAP (recommanded)

Back to your desktop, open Commander and try to update your personal file

It should open this window on your computer

If not (and even if yes!) go to your Documents/SH3/Data/Cfg/Careers/XXName and open your Patrol_0.Cfg
You should see the start dates hour & minutes there:

If not, open your Documents/SH3/Data/Cfg/Careers/XXName/Folder0/XX.Clg file, and you will find there the date hours minutes to past in your Patrol_0.Cfg (so your file has correct date hours minutes instead of nothing)

Then open your Documents/SH3/Data/Cfg/Careers/XXName and open your Careers_0.Cfg, and make sure the informations correspond to the Clg ones

To resume, you should see in Patrol_0 & Careers_0 files, your starting dates hours etc!

Once all this checked, you can launch your last save and keep going your first mission...it should be 100% fine for the rest of this career

Maybe someone else, cause I never use them … but I know there are some tutorials out there about it…

Here is a link for the Hitman Lagewinkelscheibe, the round disc slide rule giving instructions for use :

The link works, I've tried it.

The table I think was done by Makman94 some time ago. It is one of several for torpedo speeds. He made up a tutorial for his manual targeting. May be of some help.

Like Fifi, I do not utilize these tools. I use other methods to get my firing solution.

If you experience difficulties in rough sea to see something, you can either use the observation periscope (little higher) or order 1m higher for periscope depth!

I love this mod but would prefer the old attack periscope height and never use the pennants. Would somebody be able to help me mod the scope back to the original height setting?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

It would be in the *.sim file of the boat desired, in the objects folder. I.e., path game\data\objects\*.sim.
Open node #4 and you'll see the value to adjust. Stock NYGM uses 6.5 vs the 5 in the mod.
You'll need S3D or the Mini Tweaker. If you don't have one of those, let me know.
I changed mine for the same reason you state.

Thank you John for responding. I have no experience with S3D. So if you wouldn't mind.

Any documentation on navigation and TDC? I'm super confused with this set up.

Hey somedude88
Welcome to this mod
Reminder, Fifi's mod is a "Hardcore" mod so you won't have the attack card. This is voluntarily replaced by the TDC...
you will have to use the TDC like a real captain to calculate your shooting solutions..
I send you to a video that explains you all it's about Uboat but the principle is the same..
I invite you to also go to the channel of our colleague @derstosstrupp who is a mine of information a serious person he really explains all "TDC" to you... https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=242131

I’m amazed nobody ever noticed those GUC U-Boats have incorrect water reflection …

Look closely when flat sea… hull rusty parts are not reflecting where it should be (kind of same problem as MFM ships had)
Furthermore … there are inconsistencies in water reflection settings for hull vs turms

Meaning look when flat sea, and with your external camera distance yourself from U Boat… the turm reflection is disappearing way before the hull… it’s not really correct. The hull reflection is viewable from too far away anyway … again not that good

Those inconsistencies in reflection are giving also some strange graphic card behavior (when in bad sea, but most of all when U-Boat get some damages)

I’m currently fixing this … well, trying anyway (with good results so far)
