I had same issue with SJ radar in RFB as well.

fuel decreases even if youre sitting on surface because diesels are still on, using fuel to power your sub.You use less fuel sitting still but it still uses fuel.Your engines are never OFF

BTW, are the best skills for crew members in Damage Control team still as in RFB manual, mechanical and electric? or has this changed in last versions?

Does this mod change enemy AI toughness? You know, something like fearsome Duci's destroyers, lurker's ASW planes... ;)

I also cannot see radar contacts on PPI radar display (RFB+RSRDC).

You can, but the side effect is that the torpedo damage model will not work right.

Not that I'm aware of.

The reason I don't use the audio sample from the Pamapnito is that it is recorded (obviously) in one of the diesel compartments. As we don't have 3D diesel compartments in SH4, I wanted to use a sound that simulated hearing the diesels in other compartments with the bulkhead doors shut, as like the 3D interior model shows.

I just didn't like them. A case of something that I thought was great at first that I didn't end up liking later. :88)

Aye, mechanical and electrical are the two most important skills for damage control (equally so).

All: I am trying to get the latest patch uploaded to the Subsim server, but I'm running into a glitch at the moment. Once it is sorted out I'll get the file uploaded.

Im experiecing graphic issues. It seems when looking at escorts, iIget a weird blocky prism that blocks my view through the periscope. If I move it out of my field a view, everything is fine. I can look at merchant ships just fine. I also experienced this once while looking at the radar screen.

Any one had this issue before. Im running it at 1280X1024 60hz and never expeirenced this with any other mods. I currently have RFB2.0 and the 2.1 patch...thats all.

I also noticed when looking at them on the horizon thay have a square block around them as well.

thanks,

A solution for such issues might be sometimes alt tabbing out/in the game.
Works for me all the time.

Have you solved this problem yet?

speed/range question
 

Started a new career in Sargo class USS Sailfish. Ahead standard is giving me 16 knots and a range of about 4,000 miles. This seems a lot faster/shorter than it should be. Going to 1/3 or 2/3 does not increase range at all. My references show an advertised range of 10,000 miles at 10 kts.

Now doing a Balao. Standard is 14 kts and 4600 miles.

How do I get my long ranges back?

Yes, range/speed performance of Fleet Boats is really messed-up in SH4. Try TMO 2.0 - Duci wrote here lately he found very interesting fix of that issue during working on TMO. I tried his 9D2 Beta mod yesterday and I must say Type IXD submerged range value is as real thing! I am not sure about RFB 2.0 though...maybe next patch will fix this.

Anyway in real life 10 kt was optimal surface speed for Fleet Boats so you should get mentioned 10000 miles range easily...

You can also manually order a set speed. Click the button to switch the Engine Order Telegraph to the Knotmeter and then click the speed that you want on the Knotmeter.

Well, from the last patch readme:
