well this is my first time installing OM, so i don't think OMversion 6.0 would have anything to do with it.....i assume

[lurker_hlb3]

Recommend you download OM again in case that the one you got was "corrupted". Do a clean install of SH4 and try again.

On the Type VIIB I am getting textures that look like they are from the Deck texture applying to the Conning Tower and Periscope of the boat.



On the conning tower the issue only seemed to be on the PORT side, just on that one "rib" and only facing forward.

The periscope is what you see.

This isn't a complaint, just a player's bug report to help the mod improve.

Are you doing manual TDC? if so it s for me personally easier without the lock once I got used to it.I only use it to id it for range meassure.
(well I must add I never used notepad for determing speed and direction so I always had to enter attackplot anyways before firing and that quick shifting made it tough but, easier now that I set it all manually)

there are loads of different tactics I know, but after determing speed and course of enemy, I can set the aob for any shootangle I like in attackplot. I do range just before I go to attackplot to set the final data. I wait (not too long in advance cause of detection risk) with the periscope in attackdirection and know that when the bow comes in center I have 10-15 secs to get a good midshipfire.(time depending on speed ofc and usually I check it approxly in advance)If I can do another salvo 10-15 or20 degrees later too. The new aob will follow the new shootdirection(not sure of the name)if he maintain course.

usually only me myself understand what I write, but I hope you get something out of it. I think its more fun to turn the knobs "myself"

Is it possible to receive a transfer (and a new type IXD2) from a 'normal' flotilla to the operation monsoon flotilla? As starting out quite a bit short of crew is a bit of a downer.

When you transfer flotillas, you keep whatever boat you had in the old flotilla.

AFAIK you can transfer to one of the Ops Monsoon flotillas before the trip to the Orient and you can make the trip yourself. I've never done it myself though.

Name=Toggle_snorkel
Ctxt=1
Key0=0x58,s,"SHIFT X"

Something has been confusing me for awhile now. Every time I start a new career my officers and men all seem to be the highest rank available. The officers are all Kapitanleutnants, the POs are all Oberfeldwebels and the men are mostly matrosenobergefreiters. I get a few matrosenhauptgefrieters, but no other ranks.

It only seems to happen when I use OM, but I'm experienced enough to know that may not be the problem, especially since no one else has reported it.

Does anyone have any idea what would cause this? Or, better yet, can someone just tell me where the file is that controls the starting crew ranks?
