Fatigue manipulation by "Master" @ Subsim

You can easily disable fatigue with a small edit to the basic.cfg (typically found in C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\CFG) I edited it so my officers would not get fatigued. My regular crew were ALL fatigued at the end but none of my officers were showing signs of fatigue.

Example: Edited Crew
Code:
[CREW_6] ;SUBLIEUTENANT
MoraleMin=0.50
MoraleMax=0.80
MoraleStep=0.1
FatigueMin=0
FatigueMax=20
FatigueStep=0.05
CoefMorale=0.2
CoefFatigue=0.4
QualEffect=1.5
Hp=14
Wounded=-0.02
Dead=-0.05
SunkShips=0.1
TorpedoHit=0.05
Experience=300


Example: Original Crew
Code:
[CREW_6] ;SUBLIEUTENANT
MoraleMin=0.50
MoraleMax=0.80
MoraleStep=0.1
FatigueMin=0
FatigueMax=0.6
FatigueStep=0.05
CoefMorale=0.2
CoefFatigue=0.4
QualEffect=1.5
Hp=14
Wounded=-0.02
Dead=-0.05
SunkShips=0.1
TorpedoHit=0.05
Experience=300

Graphics Corruption when starting game from Desktop Icon

Think I lifted this from Subsim?

This will fix the weird graphical errors when starting from your Desktop Icon...

Great idea Uther

Thanks m8

Shift + Pgup/Pgdn = Bloom effect

1) Shift+ page up/shift+ page down = increase/decrease anti-aliasing on the fly.

2) Double-check in weapons management (I key) to make sure torpedos are loading after firing; I don't believe you get a message if you do not have enough crew in the torpedo room (like you do when diesel or electric engines are undermanned). Also you can't load topedos when rigged for silent.

3) Open tube doors before firing or you'll lose a few seconds, making your solution less accurate (as a noob U-boat Captain I learned this the hard way... watched several shots miss just aft)

Q = open tube
W = close tube

Unless of course you are using voice command software.. someone got the link?

H = GOTO Hydrophone station. Stop your engines if you are having trouble finding that elusive ship in the fog, then slowly move the HP wheel around til you hear it. Underwater listening can also improve your ability...Now we need a shortcut key.. SET COURSE to CONTACT..

PGUP, PGDN to raise/lower attack periscope

btw, anyone else finding that the WO doesn't always confirm an order vocally? SOmetimes he tells me the SOLUTION is ready and other times not..

Go to my website regularly also
Takes so much effort i want lots to get the help from it

I think that should read Hydrophone Station.

CTL+PG up or down for periscope to go to full up or down without holding the key.
FWIW,
Good Hunting!
