They work on your personal youtube page though

<grumble, grumble, grumble> I'll have to chase that rabbit later. Yikes. I tested them all and now You Tube's having a cow? Sheesh. I'll be back later tonight to try to sort it all out.

Rockin Robbins · 10-17-11, 08:19 PM

Okay the only two videos that are gone are the two Dick O'Kane videos, normal and sonar only. They are gone from my You Tube Channel also. I'll have to see if I can edit them down or maybe put them on 2shared. I just don't know how long videos last on 2shared before they are deleted. Everything else works!

White Owl · 10-17-11, 08:53 PM

Were the videos longer than 15 minutes? Youtube limits you to 15 minutes until you upload several videos. Nobody seems to know exactly how they figure when to change your limit, since it's different for everybody.

Rockin Robbins · 10-18-11, 08:07 PM

I have to check the lengths. I'll bet they're over the limit (because that's what the message on You Tube said......). It's always something......

scubamatt · 11-08-11, 04:00 PM

Coming back after several years gone, and I remember watching the Dick O'Kane Sonar Only attack video. It changed the entire game for me.

I was excited, and then depressed, to discover the link in this thread leads to YouTube's 'sorry we removed this video' comment. (scuttles YouTube)

If you get them up and running somewhere, I swear I'm gonna figure out a way to copy them to a DVD and burn myself a permanent SH4 reference disc. Those are fantastic tools for any sub driver.

Oh wow, as a new subsimmer these are veery helpful!

I'm goin' down · 01-27-12, 03:07 AM

all of the links are great. For attacks, if you want to start with the basics, I would look at the constant bearing technique, and move on the the Dick O'Kane method. When you get really good at those, move on to manual targeting using the Easy Aob mod, the OTC mod, or, if you have lots of time on your hands, the 3D TDC and Radar Range Mod. Mobo is the most incredible program in the forum. It will knock your socks off.

Just so you know, RSRDC is a mod that mirrors Japanese convoy and task force traffic in the war. So, for example, if you want to fight in the battle of Midway, the enemy fleet will be at that location in June '42. Same for Coral Sea, the Marianas Turkey Shoot, etc.

Is there any basic tutorial that shows how to use navigation tools for plotting course, finding bearings etc. Tired of zig-zagging and making "donuts" in the pacific. Ubisoft manual leaves a lot to be desired for beginners.
SH4 is fantastic! Just tired of dying and not knowing why. Help greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the boat mate.

It's pretty easy. Go to the navigation map, that's the second button in from the left on the top row. Double click this button. That opens the navigation map.

On the lower row of buttons the third on in from the left will say "Plot course". Just click this and a line will show on the map. One end of the line is anchored to your sub. The other end is at your mouse pointer. Just move the mouse to where you want to go and left click, that will place the end of the line where you click and the sub will follow that line, it's your course. You can click on the second point and start another line to a different place on the map and click there and a second line will be locked. You can set way points in your course to take you any place you need to go.

At any time you can click on any way point and drag it to a different place. You can also click on any way point and release the mouse button and draw a new course from that point and any way points after the one you clicked on will be erased.

If you turn off the plotted course using the compass you will head where the compass is clicked. If you click the E you will change course to the east. To return to your original course there is a button in the bottom row that says "Return to course" Click that and you will head to your next way point. If you have a way point set anywhere you will see a line from your sub and it will go to the next way point.

The three dials on the lower right are for speed, course and depth.
there are tabs under each and clicking the tabs will bring up different dials that will do the same things.

Read the sticky post at the top of the main page and there is a ton of information there.

The second link in Magic's post contains a link to Legion's Noob Tutorial. That is a good one for players starting out.

Great job here RR

Rockin Robbins · 02-20-12, 04:07 PM

Thanks RDP. I just have to find a home for my longer videos. You Tube has me chopped off after 8 minutes and other homes have been too temporary. Still working on it!

fright52 · 02-20-12, 04:58 PM

Many thanks for your kind response and all of the info and links shared. I'll start hitting the books and doing my homework. It will be great to point my sub any where but straight down!

The ship thought about this for a few milliseconds and then, after double checking all the seals on its heavy duty bulkheads, it began slowly, inexorably, in the hazy blaze of its lights, to sink to the lowest depths.
