FOTRS for v1.5 annoying problem

[exponent8246]

Hi all.

I thought I would try the new Fall of The Rising Sun mod (im a TMO with RSRDC fan myself). I like a lot of the changes but im having a problem with my first mission.
I was sent to an area northwest of the Gilbert Islands for my first objective which I completed without any problems however, my second objective was to patrol the Gilbert Islands themselves with the additional objective of sinking at least 1 merchant.
Thats the problem, I have been playing for at least 7 real-time hours without a single merchant contact. I have found a few warship lanes and have sunk numerous old subchasers and outdated destroyers without incident but I cannot for the life of me find any merchants whatsoever!!:damn:

Is this a bug???

I have had a similar problem with TMO and have had to just abandon the career and start again.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks:hmmm:

Not all missions are fruitfall, particularly if you are using RSRD. Just keep patrolling, something may turn up. If not, patrol until fuel runs short and then return to base. Probably your next patrol will be better. Not a bug.

Thanks banjo, I suppose in war-time they wouldnt have had many contacts either.

Just a little frustrating thats all.

Ended up abandoning the mission and heading back to Midway but I then had an incomplete mission on my rating.
Dunno if that affects the renown I will receive?? Probably will.:down:
