Well, nothing much more than what has already been mentioned here in this thread. Of course, as with all things what works on one computer may not work on another. What I did was to after the initial install was to uninstall and reinstall the original game on one of my other hard drives other than C:/ drive. After that was accomplished, I did a copy and paste of the SH4 files and made a folder on C:/ drive called C:/Games/SH4. Went through the suggested steps to modify the SH4.exe as mentioned here in this thread. Then started the game and it worked like a charm. That's all I did. Hope this helps someone else when the cause arises. :salute:

Ahoy Captain,

Don't know if this will help, I accidentally would double-click when entering the infromation on the periscope and get the message,'cannot calculate speed need more time between intervals.' Just single click when entering the data.

I haven't seen a light come on if the target solution is accurate in manual targeting. In auto-targeting, for the lack a better term, you can have three triangle size lights, green, amber and red to infrom you of your solution. And I always use manual targeting. With the 'scope up and looking at the target, push 'L' on the keyboard to lock on the target. The green light on your torpedo panel come on. To check your target solution, push the key on your keyboard, <F6> to check your target solution. But use caution when your scope is above water, if can be spotted and that will ruin a perfect target solution!

This is another way to calculate target speed. If the target's lenght is known and your stopwatch, the speed can be determine by also using the periscope. Your speed needs to be at or below two knots. On the periscope, looking at the target at a bearing of plus or minus sixty degrees from zero or three hundred sixty degrees, place your periscope's crosshair in front of the target's bow. Start the stopwatch when the target's bow cross the periscope crosshairs. And stop the stopwatch when the stern clears the crosshairs.
Now take the target's lenght divide by stopwatch's time and multiply by 1.85 will give you the current speed. (example: 104/50*1.85=3.848 knots) I recommend using a cheap calculator beside your computer, while pausing the game, uh, I mean training simulator, instead of the using the computer's calculator. Alt-tab can open up another can of worms.

I hope this answered some of your questions,

Good luck and good hunting, Captain!

That will work from the SSD rather well for the Steam version. However, in your second quote there, you cannot use old Save files. The ones for the disk version of the game point to specific locations on your original install, and when you are using the Steam version, you have a different folder structure. Instant load failure when attempting any of those Saves. Everything must be EXACTLY the same. You can have both version on the same computer, no problem, but they must each have their own Save folders. So download MultiSH4 and put it in each of the game folders. Run it (especially in the "new" Steam version), and enter a new 3-character Save folder name, such as TMO if you're going to run TMO, or FRS for FotRSU, or whatever you like, such as 001 or whatever. That will keep the Save folder structures between the two versions of the game away from each other. :salute:

The good news keeps coming; we are now in negotiations to take on a couple more development team members - including one with advanced coding knowledge! We will let you know more soon but if it all works out it will save me a tremendous amount of time and be a huge boon to the mod.

In terms of updates, current focus is deciding which ship(s) new team members will work on. The following were begun Friday and will continue this weekend and beyond:

-A few finishing touches to AI ship firefighting by NPC's
-Implementing Submarine U-9 Class
-Raisable funnel and smoke particle effect for U-9
-New AI ship damage feature: disintegration (magazine hit causing warship or merchant to shatter completely - or break up in about 4-5 big parts)
-Tweaking smoke effects
-Work on player/crew injuries - research, modeling and texture phases
-Correcting errors to Iron Duke Class battleship model battleship/getting it into release state
-Minor corrections to SMS Westfalen Class German battleship model
-Damage effects for Iron Duke Class (torpedo and shell impacts)
-British/German light cruiser research completion (already well underway)

yeah...about that list....resolving those errors is a long, winding, and dark hole.

back to the porpoise-radar issue...
Porpoise will start the war with SD (air) radar and be eligible for SJ (surf) June 1942. Is your game calendar past June of 1942?


lastly...thank you for including your modlist. next time you want to post your modlist, Open JSGME, click Tasks, Export, To Clipboard. then open your post here at Subsim, and use Ctrl+v to paste the list into your post. this is easier than saving and attaching a text file.

CapnScurvy did a LOT of work on his Optical Targeting Correction (OTC) mod to get the FOV and magnifications correct on the US boats, but I do not recall how much work he did for the German boats... you could also check with jimimadrid and maybe he could add the German boats to his recent work with the periscopes and TBT for the US boats, if he hadn't done that yet also...
