have come around over time here that we just added onto to make this mod! Take a Bow guy's!
/ Ubisoft / The Romanian DEV Team for bringing us this new Silent Hunter Series.

Okay as most of you know the main reason for this mod was to make the game's over all environment as realistic as possible and as pleasing as possible so that us Skipper's would slow down a bit and enjoy the game more on the Bridge rather than speed their way through it. What started off as something small and simple turned into a super mega mod that hit's all object's in the game hence the over all size of it. This mod will over write almost every environment mod out there from Seeadler's to Kriller2's old work and build's upon them further to make more realistic effect's for the game's over all environment.

What it does and what has changed:

#1 The angle that all light comes from now matches their position both above and under water IE Sunlight, Moon Light, Spot lights and so on. Before the light under water was at a fixed angle now it follows the angle of the light source. And because angle of light now matches where it comes from there are now proper Shadow effect's seen on the water and sub's and ship's.

#2 The camera has been re worked to show all celestial objects the same size in fallow cam's free cam's and bridge cam plus you can now walk the decks of ships and sub's with it. And when inside of the sub your perspective view now moves with the sub to simulate your actually being there.

#3 All reflections in the game has been enhanced for every object in the game and now appear as real to life as possible and distort as the sea becomes ruff.

#4 now the water is reflected onto ships and sub's in real form no more random reflection effect's both above and under water. And the deeper you go the more they fade until gone which never happened before in the game.

#5 Sky coloring and water coloring has been made more to a Pacific color you should and would see in real life and the game now uses all sky color effect's for sun set's to sun rises.

#6 New Oil slick effect's and fire effect's and explosion effect's with reflection enhancements and lighting enhancements.

#7 Also new Sea foam effect's for the game that react to the wind to make it seem more realistic.

#8 That is just the tip of the iceberg and the rest you can find out for yourself!
