First time in a long time.....

[mrfritz44]

I'm reinstalling this game a long hiatus and some experience with Trigger Maru 2.5.

Can someone key me into the latest and best megamod that transforms the game hopefully into something I've never seen before?

I too am coming back to this and would be keen to know the latest and greatest in SH4!

Thank you!

FOTRSU seems to be the going thing at the moment so I'm going to give that a try!

So the game isn't running in Windows 10.....unless this is an easy fix I am sunk!

there is a Win10 forum that you should review. start with the latest posts, first, because Microsoft keeps making updates that get in this old game's way.

good luck!

We Dive at Dawn, U class, it's a fun boat, and the British Med campaign is a good time.

So I got it running and remarkably I remember most of the keyboard shortcuts.

Now, before I install the U-Boats mission pack I'm looking for the most realistic and transformative mega-mod anyone can recommend.

Trigger Maru 2.5 did a lot to that affect, but surely there must have been a lot of work done in my time away.

Any recommendations and justifications for why it'd be a combination of realism and graphics transformation?

if you are returning after a sabbatical, TMO 2.5 by Ducimus is a good re-starting point.

when you want to move to something more difficult, d/l FOTRSU and play that, first with the default settings and then with the more difficult settings.

good luck!

So FOTRSU it is!

Next question.....can you post the link for FOTRSU 1.8 which is what I think I need to download?

Also, what's the deal with the AddInModzPak_18.7z which I thought was the FOTRSU 1.8 file but couldn't possibly be given the small size.

Sorry for so many questions, but I really don't want to screw up my installation after finally getting it to work.

NEVERMIND....I found it and after some insecure download messages it's inbound, albeit 2 hours out.......the waiting begins.

lots of supplementary documentation will be included in both the main mod and the addin mods pack. read it. you will thank yourself.
and...for a bonus...there is a dedicated FOTRSU thread with like 100,000 pages of posts, most of which relates to FORTSU (lol).

be careful for what you wish for!


good luck!

So close!

I installed version 1.5, activated FOTRS 1.8, however the game crashes to desktop when I try a training mission. Sometimes I enter the mission, but crash out shortly thereafter after the sound starts to stutter.

Any quick ideas?

[mrfritz44]

Nevermind once again......applied the large address program and we're all set, at least for now.

Here's 6 of my favorite rated by number:


There are others I left out for various reasons, Italian in the Atlantic, and another German mod which I can't get real stable for some reason but is beautiful KDS ACE II which would definitely be on the list, maybe I just missed something on the install.
