The ocean and sea seems empty as can be though.

Here's my mod setup right now:

1_TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5
1_TMO_25_small_patch
RSRDC_TMO_V502
RSRDC_V5xx_Patch1
Convoy Routes TMO+RSRD
Improved Stock Environment_v3_TMO&RFB

Any ideas? I've gone as far as searching individual grids, move to next one, move to next one, etc. I feel as though I'm alone in the world
If it's early in the war search close to land masses (Japan, Phillipines) and keep your time compression under 1024. Do periodic submerged sonar checks with your engines off.

I was never able to go to new construction either.

Any thoughts?
It sounds like you have started the terrible T campaign. Are you in a Tambor class?

Yes I suppose she is. It is what I was offered after my initial tour. What is the terrible T campaign?

By selecting the terrible T campaign you go through the whole war with that Tambor class boat.

I installed the small patch after the deck gun patch and when I load my autosave when entering port and try to transfer it CTD. I am going to see what happens when I leave port, but do I need to start a new career?

edit: it CTD when I try to start a new patrol.

I think it would be safest to start a new career.

Hi, the Small Patch needs to be enabled before a new career is started if you don't want the TAMBOR class career, as you discovered.

I would be proud to command USS Tuna for example, the entire career, also there are carers when I would prefer the 'normal progression' into more modern submarines as the War progresses; SARGO --> TAMBOR or GAR --> GATO --> BALAO, etc., etc...

Anyway, Happy Hunting!

Finally downloaded TMO 2.5, I gotta say, I like the new sounds much better. The water is beautiful, though because it looks so much more realistic and glassy, the sub seems more cartoonish by comparison. I don't know if it was because the moon wasn't full, but at night I can't see anything, it seems too dark. Also my first mission was to photograph Hiroshima harbor, it was too foggy, I couldn't even see the pier when I was nearly docked to it and the fog would not lift, I spent 5 or 6 days there and I could not see anything to photograph.

I like the 'ZING' sound the torpedo makes when it leaves. Sounds just like it is described in Dick O'Kane's books.

Just DL'd TMO, and it's great with the exception of one annoying issue. On the map, unless zoomed in close, my sub is nothing but a circle, and enemy ships are just black blobs.

Seems very odd.

I believe that was the way Ducimus designed it when he created TMO.

Well, it's on every other mod I've tried as well so it seems like it's something on my end.

Another question... I can never get anyone onboard or in the roster for recruitment that has the extra fuel... Am I doing something wrong?

I also seem, even with the small patch, to not be getting refits or anything else after my new boat. It does have the newer sail on it, but it came with it. I thought I would go through multiple refit and new boat offerings.

Try out this (hidden in the manual, or RTFM) :

4.) How do i cheat bigtime, and get back "tails" and sensor information on the navigation map?
Disable TMO, and delete the following two files:
\Data\Menu\gui\ContLine.dds
\Data\Menu\gui\DashLine.dds
