Excuse me?? OTC is not hard-core realism... While the mod is excellent and does correct the differences between aiming over the bow as opposed to aiming over the stern, the "fix" for that is to center-mount the conns. The omnimeter in the mod is permanently attached to the text box, which is cumbersome. Like most mods for the game, it has compromises. CapnScurvy chose some elegant compromises, but they are still compromises. As a side-note, DanielCoffey re-did the sil files for most all of the ships in the mod, and did very accurate measuring of the ships, so you do have even more accurate mast / stack heights in FotRSU than even OTC had - which is also not realistic.
We did hope CapnScurvy would do an OTC version for FotRSU, but alas, he retired to the garage to work on automobiles older than I am... and more power to him! We did have plans for incorporating several more pieces of his modding work into FotRSU, but both involve the menu_1024_768.ini file, and that is a complex beast, tough to tame. We have had limited success, but alas, there are a few extra "features" we accidentally incorporated that we have to chase down yet...
- there are other changes that will help lend an air of realism for the next release, and we think that most folks will like them. More later!
