Anyone tried GE 7.9 yet? DW is supposed to be much more stable as per the Steam Thread.

Thanks for keeping us posted here.

That does get me past the launcher and through the game setup screen, however it always crashes within a few seconds after generating the galaxy.


For me changing the proton version to the latest GloriousEggroll release fixed the crashing, or at least it didn't crash in the 5 minutes or so I ...

Here is a guide from ProtonDB, from a guy named Lain@X, maybe this works?


Tinker Steps:Custom Proton, protontricks

Ensure you have protontricks installed. If you don't have it, follow the installation guide here[0] (see the pipx titled section)

Go to "Distant World 2" properties, force a ...

That looks like you have to register your Windows too.

Very disappointing. No DW2 for me.

I have found that in Command, modern targeting computers enable a single aircraft to take out targets with dumb bombs from 10000 ft. Times have changed it seems.

<t> It is actually not just subs that are detected by the eyeball, but also everything else. If you replace the sub with a 7m RHIB for example, the eyeball can detect it from 1.6 nm at night. Or at least it can see there something on the surface almost 3 km away...<br/>
<br/>
I do not know of ...

<t> Hello there, you might or might not remember the post I made a while ago about the strange long range detection of submarines by the Mk.1 Eyeball. You asked for a save and I promptly forgot about it. I create this new thread to bring this to your attention anew.<br/>
<br/>
In the scen file a ...

When at preset depths, they wobble +- 1 foot, like between -65 and -66 feet.

<t> A Mk.1 Eyball can detect submarine scopes/masts at periscope depth from 0.9 nm during the blackest night. It can also classify the submarine type (SSN, SSK etc.) I checked for moon phase btw...<br/>
<br/>
I checked this by placing a generic car on the coast (removed its binos) and determined ...

Why do you think they don't have any magnification?
<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>
<br/>
Because they can't classify surface and land contacts beyond vanilla eyeball ranges. At night, they don't even see them.<br/>
<br/>
There's also no sensor ...

<t> I wonder, almost all subs in the database don't seem to have any optical magnification or low light/IR capabilities. Just look up the Virginia or Akula as examples. The only exception I have found so far are British A-class in the CWDB with a 'generic optical sight'. Are they somehow built in ...

Maybe they circle too close and they can't make an attack run. Move them away a little and try again...or check whether the aircraft is too low to drop bombs. You might also have doctrine or WRA settings which prohibit the drop.

<t> I have played around with iron bombs on modern aircraft, and you can be quite accurate up to 15000 feet or so, as long the aircraft has advanced INS bombsights. Mk84s even to 18000 feet. It's so accurate in fact that I consider them viable alternatives to guided weapons if there is no ...

All of these and more. See the manual and the manual addendum pages.


Yes, you are wrong. It's OK though. Peace.

Outstanding! Thanks, this clears things up a lot.

<r> I'm not so sure that the CMANO sound model is better than Cold Waters. Cold Waters has shadow zones, convergence zones(1), variety in sound conditions (ice, coastal surf), bottom bounce etc, what does CMANO have what it doesn't?<br/>
<br/>
The CMANO sound model is quite opaque to me. What is ...

<t> Well the UAV is meant to loiter for some time on target, for many hours. That way they can see the movement, comings and goings at/of the target, produce better recon and are more likely to be there when a target of opportunity pops up.<br/>
<br/>
What I noticed with CMANO drones is that they ...

<t> Ouch, my most hoped-for function - not for us. Thanks for the prompt answer! <br/>

So no need for radio silence? <br/>

I got one question for you guys. Wouldn't the Syrians or even Russians have an AEW flying over Syria at all times? An A-50 would be able to "spot" and track the missiles from a distance of 80 nm (tested in CMANO). After that, the S-400 ...

It also probably matters that the Syrians were not anticipating that the US would attack, so they might not have even been looking. Many war sims assume the constant, high-level ...
