great new visuals but I am staying away until the no. of planes are reduced to livable levels.

The Akagi is looking great, Maddy. Look forward to the time when I've got her sighted in my periscope. Keep up the great work.

Akagi is looking beautiful, just noticed a couple of things, the island is on the wrong side of the ship as well as the funnel. Just wondering, will Kaga also be in the next upgrade?

Webster's Better Air Patrols reduces the number of planes, and increases the skill level of the planes that are there. I installed it over FOTRS no problem.

May be to your liking, maybe not. But there it is. Not my mod in any way, so if you like it thanks goes to Webster, not me

This Problem is under construction !
The Kaga will come later cause she must build first.

I enjoy this mod. However, is there a fix for the TBT which is not able to turn a 360*. I believe there were two TBT's on submarines.

AOTD_MadMax · 07-12-09, 04:38 AM

@ Javelin

Iam workin on it !

The problem with the Akagi is fixed.
It was not an wrong construction, only an mistake by Pack3D during the cloning-procedure.

I was able to get the TGT mod (AoB, speed and range dial fixes) to work with FOTRS mod by activation the TGT mod for SH4 1.5. That takes care of one problem.

As for decreasing the number of air patrols (planes), I am trying the Airstrike Mod to see if that decreases or elimates them. If that fails then I will try Webster's Better Air Patrols.

cdrsubron7 · 07-13-09, 06:44 PM

Nice work on the Akagi, look forward to seeing her in FOTRS and the Kaga when she's ready.

I'm goin' down · 07-15-09, 01:19 AM

Does FOTRS match the keel of the shadow ship with the mast of the target for aspect ratio and distance? If not, what are the rules for aspect ratio and range for merchants and warships? I could not find any instructions on this issue.

Lately, planes have not been driving me as crazy as before. Maybe it is the No Airstrike mod? If I see too many, I will try Webster's better planes mod.

Visuals are the best of the major mods, RFB and TMO in my opinion. This is a very well done mod.

I have identified a problem with using the ruler tool to plot a course. It is difficult to read the compass during night missions, unless I am colorblind. Last time my eyes were checked, colorblindness was not a problem. The solution seem simple. Perhaps in the next version the compass dial could be illuminated (or we will all have to play using magnifying glasses in night time missions.)

could someone plase answer my previous post? No. 220, re shadow ship, etc. Thank you.

Rockin Robbins · 07-19-09, 02:22 PM

Man, I'm loving FOTRS! You have no idea how cool it was to be attacked by a plane for the first time after a year of playing RFB

!

Wait for it..........here it comes.........

but

December 9, 1941, S-Boat,complete mod list, FOTRS, 3000 yard-meter bearing tool, TMOkeys, S-Boat Dazzle Color Camouflage skin, off the NW coast of Luzon, enountered a nice Japanese task force. One of the lead escorts is, appropriately enough, a Rockin Asashio! Yeah, that is a link to a Rockin video. This convoy is escorted by 7 Rockin' Asashios. Tweedely-tweet!

My problem or yours, Max? It's kind of cool and I think he's unsinkable because he'll blast me out of the water with a surface attack and no torpedo can impact him!

I love how sure-footed those Japanese sailors on deck are too!

As a precaution I'm copying all files from my SH4Pristeen directory into my SH4TM directory (temporarily? hijacked for FOTRS use

), will reinstall the above mods and report again.

AOTD_MadMax · 07-19-09, 03:39 PM

Hi Rockin,

lool to that Asashio !

I never seen this before, did you get this with more Asashios ?
Please keep an eye on it mate, i will try to fix it if this bug happens again.

What do you think about the planes ? Are they to strong ?

Thanks for this bug-report mate

Rockin Robbins · 07-19-09, 03:49 PM

I love the planes. If you're not terrified of planes the simulator isn't doing its job! No I didn't find too many. If I was bugged, I left the flyway and was left alone. I motored right up the one from Luzon to Formosa and didn't need to change course to avoid them. They were routine, even in an S-Boat.

I'm reloading everything. Then I'll reload my career and take a tour around the outside of the convoy. It had seven Rockin Asashios. If they're still there I'm going to try to attack some. Should be fun!

I'm goin' down · 07-19-09, 11:37 PM

what are the rules on range using the shadowship. Top of the mast, carrier deck, smoke stack? What? This is my third post with no responses?
