Hi mb
This is a question that propbeanie may well have the answer to or one of the FOTRSU guys.

Wellllll.... the menu icons are combinations of "pictures" that are pointed at by the "menu_1024_768.ini" file, which is a very scary part of the game to be noodling with, not only for that particular file, but also for the method of pointing at the pictures. I'm really not "qualified" to comment on doing much in that file, other than maybe causing a CTD... CapnScurvy is our "Resident Expert" on that file, but is very busy right now with further FotRSU updates. Maybe in a few weeks / months one of us will have time to look at GFO and see what you're referring to. That particular "Radar On / Off" button, by the way, is really the "Snorkel Up / Down" button in the Uboats, and was probably displayed differently in stock, hence the difference in GFO.

thanks, pb.
the function of that button is not a deal breaker but i thought it might be a nice-to-have...especially if it was something that i could work on independently.
could i do it....probably. if i have any downtime nearer the christmas holidays i may ping scurvy and ask for a tip or two.
thanks again.

Hi Berbster. Where is your SH4 tutorial located that you mention in this topic? Tried to find it, but couldn't.

I'm getting a black square in my periscope when its lowered. You can see around the edges of it like its not stowed. Any idea how to fix this?

desepticon · 05-02-18, 03:29 AM

Ummm. This is the only mod I have installed on SH4. I am using Wolves of Steel on SH5, but I don't see how that's relevant. Seeing as though this is the mod I'm using, posting here seems appropriate to me.

I'm running the game at a 1680x1250 resolution. My native resolution is 2560x1600, but I don't use that for the game because everything would be crazy small, and require more performance. I have applied the appropriate Bearing Tool patch for the 1680 resolution, if that matters. I'm guessing the issue has something to do with MaxOpitics IV, but an extensive search has turned up anything relevant. But I'm not sure.

edit: after disabling the Mod 16 Magnified Hud Dials for v1.5_Large (which seemed a bit big for me anyway) the issue seems to be fixed. Weird. Thought that would just change the dials.

Hi guys,

New member here. Nice ta meet you. I'm well versed with Silent Hunter 3 LSH2015, and want to play SH4 with mods, but not sure which mega mod to go with.

I know what I'd say I'm intermediate/good skill and want an immersive experience. From what I gather FOTRS and this one are where its at, but which one to start?

Like I said, I'm good, but not a total realist (I like to keep the external cameras and map updates).

Which one first, as I intend to delve straight into a career.

Thanks in advance.

These changes are optional in Game Play settings as you can see from the picture by ticking or un-ticking the boxes.

My Mega mod is based on Webster's GFO mega mod and is very enjoyable uprated stock game with bugs taken out.

FOTRSU is a more advanced game which is still w.i.p. but very playable with many changes having been made by the FOTRSU team not only to the game but also the graphic quality as well.

This is actually a very nice mod, even for veterans

Beside SH5 TWOS, it’s a good thing to have SH4 with your mega mod Peter.
I have just added the maps color mod on top of it, for personal taste.
Was wondering if I could get the TMO or FOTRS command bar icons (red) instead of the stock one you have… but no big deal

Anyway I wanted to ask if your mod is also good to go for German side career?
Can I add the German Speech Fix - Spaxs SH4 Uboat SPEECH FIX_V8 mod on top of it (to have German voices)?
