Dear SH4 Community,I am very pleased to announce to you today the completion and the release of "Fall of the rising sun V2.0".After now more than 3 years of work on this mod I have decided to publish V2.0.Many extensive testing in our online campaign as well as in the single player campaign have shown that is V2.0 ready for this step.That is not the FOTRS V2.0 bug-free are, certainly will find one or the other a few bugs, most of which are in the game SH4 himself founded.All introduced in V2.0 new features compared to previous versions but work Impeccable and many bugs from previous versions were fixed.What's new in V2.0?First of all is V2.0 you blow over all other SH4 Mods purely from the graphics side, many changes affected the 3D models, the atmosphere, the effects, the textures and everything so falls under the great word "immersion".
Let überaschen you.The sinking behavior of the ships were completely changed, sink ships not as fast, which can sometimes depending on where the ship was hit already take an hour until the "Pott" flooded.The sensor system has been heavily customized, it can happen that you ever will you shelled out good 8000-10000 meters with a clear view of a destroyer / cruiser / battleship unless your boat was discovered.V2.0 forces you to really take the name of the game seriously, Silent Hunter is not only the name of the game but it should be your "Program".There are countless new ships, the number of Japanese destroyers / U-hunter has more than doubled compared to the previous version.The manual for the ship identification has thickened considerably.In all of these "extensions" to me was important performance.Despite many new ships V2.0 runs much more stable than any previous FOTRS version.The single player campaign
but was easily extended is in principle similar to the previous FOTRS versions.What Zusatzmods contained?In download package are 3 more switchable mods included.1) the known 16/9 Tool what actually Today everybody needs because is still played with 4/3 monitors barely.2.) Real Environment FOTRS V2.0_byKriller, an environment of the superclass, specially tailored to FOTRS V2.0, a "must" for all who call a powerful computer their own.3.) FOTRS_Real_Periscop, a mod for a special periscope (Angriffsperiskop)What do I need FOTRS V2.0?FOTRS V2.0 has been made for SH4 V1.4, so for SH4 version without the German campaign.
This version of SH4 is clearly more stable and Bugfreiere version and therefore FOTRS was developed for it.You need a clean fresh patched on V1.4 reinstalling SH4.For this you need the JSGME mode Abler, which is not included in FOTRS V2.0.How do I install FOTRS V2.0?Quite simply, when did you worried the JSGME mode Abler and these have copied to the main directory of your SH4 installation, you start the JSGME enabler again.This creates a new folder "mods" in the game directory is created.In this folder you copied then FOTRS + the Zusatzmods.By re-start of JSGME mode Abler you are now activating able FOTRS V2.0 and Zusatzmods.For all those that are too complicated will be released in the near future by another executable "install" version of FOTRS V2.0.Where can I get the mod?Simply clicking on the link below!
I hope I've explained everything sufficient for you, wish you have a lot of fun with the mod.

Could this be mod on a stand alone SH4 ? My thinking is not to use a mod package but yet have two or more SH4 directories. one for US/Ger, one for British and one for FOTRS... Do you feel this is possible it would save much from switching back and forth ? The only thing I would be concerned is the saved files go to the save User My docs folder.
Anyway ... thoughts?
This is german language, now, who speaks and read german anymore seriously, german is a fine language but I dare to say you would reach more players with english pack. I cant use this mod for sh4 v1.4 because you had to use german text in the game. Strange.
