I got mine from ubisoft. I should be inexpensive.

Lurker, I reduced the percentage from 60 to 40 on the aircraft cfg. That seems to work much better in terms of no. of aircraft. I may increase back to 50, and see what happens. I have map contacts on, but have not seen any large convoys or task forces. They should be out there somewhere.

Pleased with Ducimus traffic but I´ll try RSRDC next campaign. What aspects of TMO 2.0 I´m going to loose ?
I Think I must again install Danurves extra messages but this is no prob since it is only a small txt.file.
How about these "gamey option flotillas" like Task Force Midway or TF Freemantle ?

I got both SH4 and the UBoat addon from Direct2Drive.com . The UBoat addon was only ten bucks. Also, I don't have to 'insert game disk' to make it work.

TMO adds alot to the 'look & feel' and immersion to the game. Ducimus has done much to improve the environment, and his efforts are much appreciated by us all.

RSRDC uses more historical ship movements. Lurker has overwritten the layers for ship movements, so what you see (and where you see it) is what was there at that particular time. I've done both patrols where I spent weeks searching for a target, and others where I have to return for a reload multiple times BEFORE I even get on station. RSRDC overwrites most, if not all, of the 'ship movement' layers, so if you use RSRDC, you won't get TMO's layers. Personally, I always use both, so I can't comment on what Ducimus has done on this point.

The new pull-down map of shipping lanes (connected to the 'radio') is quite helpful, but I don't know who to thank for this one. So THANKS!


TMO + RSRDC: Don't leave home without them!

God Bless Electric Boat!

Fresh install of TMO, going to run with RSRD until I have time to redo the TMO layers again to my liking.So question is, what is the latest version and patch of RSRD for TMO 2.0. ?

[sergei]

Check the first post.
It's got links to latest version.

I think it´s still RSRDC_TMO_V502 + RSRDC_V5xx_Patch1.
And don´t forget this : RSRDC_V5xx_Aircraft sound fix

I found a map of the battle of coral sea. I was there on time, by May 3rd, and spotted, but did not catch a carrier south of the Solomens. It was sailing at 20 kts. and my boat could not match its speed. It looked to me it was where it was supposed to be when it was supposed to be there. That is quite impressive. I think I spotted it on May 4th. Other than a ton of airplanes that kept buzzing around, I did not find the rest of the various Jap fleets. I even looked for them near Tulagi, but all I found we airplanes. Give me a hint. Where the heck are they? And on what dates?

[Red Devil]

This has been mentioned elsewhere but I found the Jap carrier fleet right where it was supposed to be, near Midway, on the right date, and got all four!!

i read some posts re the battle of the coral sea. Per lurker's post, I located the coral sea mis. in the campaign files. Per another post, I tried to make it into a single mission. Here is what I did.

i created a new folder in the single mission file and labeled it Battle of the Coral Sea.

I copied the coral sea mis. file to the Battle of the Coral Sea folder in the single mission folder. This file is one of the many mis. files in the single mission folder.

Is that it? When I restarted the game and looked at my list of single mission, it was and is not there. What do I do next?

Drop back ten yards and punt.

The folder and the mission MUST have the EXACT same name, so if the mission is "coral sea.mis" then name the folder "coral sea.mis. Then open in mission editor, put in a player unit (sub) and resave to create a 'coral sea.tsr' file.

If it will not open in the mission editor then there are 'custom' ships in the mission and the mod that has them must be enabled before it will open.

I am not sure how to do what you describe. I opened the mission editor. How do I add my sub to the single mission file for the Coral Sea? Where do I get my sub from? Is it in the mission editor? How do I add it the coral sea mis. file? Will that create the tsr? I don't know what I am doing, but that appears obvious. I am looking at tutorial but I am not sure I will find the answers.

You created a folder for a single mission. Rename the folder so it matches the "coral sea.mis" So rename the folder "coral sea"

Open the mission editor
go to file/open and open "coral sea.mis"
go to the right of the screen and click the tab marked "SUB"
Select your sub and drag it into the mission where you want it.
In the Properties box
1. uncheck "delete on last waypoint"
2. check "Human Control"
3. If you want to start submerged, set the "Height" to a minus number matching the depth you want.
4. Accept

5. Right click on your sub and "add waypoint", drag out a line headed in the direction you want to go.
6. Select the sub again and right click, "head to waypoint".

Go to the menu mission/language localization.
Top window highlight "Mission Title", bottom window delete mission title and add your own title to it. This is the 'title' that will show in the loading screen.
Top window highlight "Briefing", in the bottom window give a mission briefing. This will show on the right side in the loading screen when playing.
Click OK

Save

That's the quick and easy. One thing to note, you can zoom in on the map to position your sub accurately. Select the "hand" in the menu bar to move the map. While the "hand" is selected you can NOT select your sub or other objects to set properties, you must first deselect the "hand".
