I don't see them mentioned in the v1.8 version. Thanks!

Yes, the Nippon & Nihon mods, have been updated to the v1.8 of FotRSU, torpedobait.


This, is mentioned in the 1st post for the thread...


" Nippon Maru has been updated to v1.8, has to been checked and found to be fully compatible with FotRSU v1.8:
Nippon_Maru_v1.8

Nihon Kaigun has been updated to v1.2 and is fully compatible with FotRSU v1.8:
Nihon_Kaigun_v1.2"


Both of these do include a modified roster... with them. As to that other mod you're asking after... no idea on that...


Will let either propbeanie or s7rikeback, tackle that conundrum...

As MM mentions, both have been updated for v1.8, and yes, you do still use Combined Roster if you use both Nippon Maru and Nihon Kaigun. If you do not use both, you only need what is in the mod, OTHER THAN - do NOT loose your "JP_SoyoMaru_fix mod... that fell through the cracks again, and still has the old sil file, so apply that also... You can also drop the TMO_torp_tex and PeriscopeSplash mods, and see if you like the jimimadrid torpedoes first, which are now part of FotRSU. The FotRSU compatible TMO Style is still in the AddInModzPak if desired.

Yes, there will be a small fix for FotRSU and for Nippon Maru. We are attempting to coordinate efforts now for the release, since we can't do one without the other...

hey Guys, the SH4 OEM Manual makes reference to an X on the "notepad" that will reset the TDC. Was this feature ever incorporated or am I missing something?

My TDC was acting screwy (not the first time) doing manual TDC, and I couldnt get it to clear so I could restart the firing solution. So I checked the manual and it says click the x on the notepad...what notepad LOL

Thanks!
Frank

The "Notepad" is a German U-Boat thing when on the Attack Periscope screen. It sits to the right, and is where the ship ID and other pertinent information is notated by the game, similar to what you see in the US side "TDC" display on the left side of the Attack Periscope display.

The Only thing on the Left side of (my) the attack scope display is the torpedo setting/position keeper interface. No Notepad. Im using FOTRS 1.8, Which is awesome BTW just frustrated with this TDC. Really wish they had copied the actual TDC like SH1 did.

hey ..
I find your remark useless... especially when you read your banner I quote:
"An underwater simulation must 'simulate' the historical reality as well as possible! No excuses, because everything you try to simulate is documented… somewhere!"

The work of Team FoTrS is very authentic... it manages to do the best, especially when you know the technical aspect of the game and the difficulties in making mods...
I would even add for those who have stadimeter problems if the reconnaissance procedure when attacking the ship is respected it works very well...a crucial step for the attack in order to obtain speed...distance. Angle recognition of the ship via the manual etc.. the American TDC it is easier than that of the Germans.. uais: when has sh1 stop this nostalgia exceed...

The "User's Manual" is sadly lacking in proper detail and documentation in many aspects of the game, and it does not appear to have changed from v1.0x through v1.5, plus a bit of it seems to be SH3 material, and does not differentiate some important differences between the US and German subs ... It seems to have been an after-thought - "Oh! We'd better do an 'Owner's Manual'!!!" But you will not find a "notebook" in the pacific US boats. To re-set things on the US boats, turn the PK off and unlock the target. Re-lock the target, and turn the PK back on. If you are doing manual-targeting, same thing, but just be certain that you are hitting all of the "Send" buttons twice each. Once to "set", once to "send". I don't think that is mentioned in the manual either... btw, glad you like the mod! Now, go "Sink 'em all!!!"

@ Kal_Maximus_U669: The nostalgia for SH1, the original in the Silent Hunter series is palpable for me as well... there is so much of that version of the game that is NOT in SH4, and I miss it. The "radar" boxes and functionality being a prime example. There are even aspects of SH2 that I think should be in this version, but alas, when Ubisoft made the purchase of SSI / Aegis, they lost a goodly portion of the "team", and many aspects of the game then became "black boxes" of mystery functions... sigh - but you can see in some of the 3D artwork, as well as texture files, that there were "plans", but alas, another incomplete game pushed out the door by the parent company... like so many other (most) games. lol

Relax.... My Comment is not about those who MOD the Subsims Like you, its to those WHO DEVELOPE the subsims and ignore what was historical on Submarines. The Modders do a SUPERB Job. )

I served 20 years on REAL Submarines and Know exactly how a stadimeter works. SH1 was so accurate was used as a Training aide by me and a couple others on USS Pasadena for qualifying standing Contact Coordinator watch )) We got so good we could do the Trig in our heads; AKA "Mental Gym" our Weapons Officer was shocked how accurate a submarine game was.

Bravo! And thank you for your service. Real Submariners are special people in my book.

Continuing essays...

Fitzcarraldo

Respect this previous post, I did several test and discover the culprit of the arctifacts in the splashes of bullets and DC is due to the "particles.dat" file in EAX sound sim for FOTRSU 18. Deactivating this mod, or deleting the particles file for EAX, I have the standard and correct splashes of FOTRSU 1.8. I would to know if some player has this issue. I will reference this problem in the EAX subsim thread (Vickers). Really I don´t know what adverse effects could produce the delete of the particles. dat file in EAX, but I need to supress it to recover correct visual splashes with FOTRSU.
