v2.0.9e changelog:
- New warships type: Gorizia Heavy Cruiser, Italian
- New warships type: London Heavy Cruiser, British
- New warships type: Bourrasque Destroyer, France
- Distance between units/ships in large convoys generally reduced by 100m approximately.
- Improved appearance of RAOBF colored graticules, more precise markings and cleaner look.
- Fixed misplaced traffic in few axis ports.
- Temporally neutral nations will from now utilize both darkened and illuminated merchant vessels. Once joined one of the opposed coalitions, the nation will use darkened ships only (except American illuminated coastal traffic which appearance has been extended to early 1942 in order to simulate conditions encountered by U-boat captains on eastern American coast during the opening stages of "2nd Happy Times" and Operation "Drumbeat").

- Added support for two new optional TWoS 2.x.x addons (Harbors Chimney Smoke and Neutrals Exclusively Illuminated until [Date])
- AM1544 to AN1544, patrol grid fix.
- Museum.cfg, hidden few new duplicated ship variations.
- TWoS crew finally grew beard (except Beno of course, he still doesn't have it). Added Kevinsue's Bearded Crew TWoS addon permanently.
- Japanese warships museum and campaign CTD fix (*Ship.cfg, MaxSpeed).
- Various file, nations roster and campaign layers fixes and fine tuning tweaks.

vdr1981,
is it possible to set that the periscope is pulled in by default (leave the harbour)? And is it a feature or a bug that there's no sound by moving the periscopes if I'm on the bridge?

Thanks in advance.

Heinrich when you move one step at the beginning the periscope will automaticly pull in, so..

Im sure it was around 800-900 meters. (Between each column I mean)
Or is it distance between each ship in the same line/column?

Thanks for your reply but it doesn't. Just checked it.

As soon as you click right mouse button for example , periscopes should go down automatically. If that doesn't work for you then there is probably something wrong with your game/mod installation OR maybe you have forgot to do save/reload in bunker when you were starting new campaign?

And is it a feature or a bug that there's no sound by moving the periscopes if I'm on the bridge?

Thanks in advance.

Periscope sound can only be heard while looking trough it...

Guys, you are asking for major spoilers here?
Let's just say that convoys "density" in TWoS will vary from 600 to 1000 m between units in general, depending of convoy type, war period ect...

In other campaign mods for SH5 and stock game, distance is always 900m...

P.S.

Thanks for the beer once again Excel!

Guys, you are asking for major spoilers here?

From this point of view you are totaly right. Thanks for not a exact/detailed answer. Please keep this attitude in the future.

Lets say, we got this news from a detailed Airborne reconnaissance.


Beer!? You are welcome.

Works now after save and reload the campaign. Thanks a lot.

You never saw big fat red letters in install instructions?

I did, was just testing some stuff without save / reload the campaign. And actually I couldn't imagine these weird correlations sometimes in SH5.

Hi Heinrich
Instructions are there for a reason, that is why it is important to follow them.

I noticed in the Flaggen chart that the dates were removed. I assume this was on purpose. Do we receive radio msgs for hostiles or is there another chart that I'm missing? It's been a while since I've played but just installed 2.0.9e. Sorry if this has been explained already. I did search the thread but may have missed it.

Thanks!

BTW.. Vecko... just when I think you've done a ton and only minor improvements are likely, you do some major stuff that enhances the sim even further. Thank you much! Support inc.
