fewer planes
 

I will settle for zero, but I can deal with an occasional plane. I will run a mission and let you know how many planes I spot on the screen. We can go from there. Ten percent of normal would probably work.

get ride of them
 

:damn:There are definitely too many planes and too many messages to suit me. Delete them all if you can. If someone can teach how to do it, I am all ears. Where is Webster when you need him?:damn:

Alright
 

Jeez man, you REALLY hate planes.

:har:

Ok I uploaded the file and added a No planes mod to the rar. Before you try it, be sure you are in port. Tell me if that suits you or not plz.

thanks
 

where do I find the rar?

LOL
 

what place are you talking about? I do not see a mod section under SH Fleet Boats Mod Workshop.

few planes?
 

How do I fix this to get far, far fewer planes?

AirStrikeSettings]
; AirStrike Creation Parameters
; Airstrike Session:
; 1. Compute airbases in range according to their aircraft maximum ranges
; 2. Compute air coverage factors on allies/axis/neutral on the target zone
; 3. Compute airstrike probability from each base
; 3.1 check number of aircraft that can strike at that range and conditions, and compute a coverage factor based on the range of each aircraft type
; and detection area around submarine ( 10 km radius )
; 3.2 multiply coverage factor for the target area with :
; - current airstrike probability againt that side
; - nigft factor ( if necessary )
; - airbase competence
; - close to airbase factor
; 3.3 check probability for airstrike
; 3.4 add more aircraft probabilistically for a large target

Is it compatable with OM

Hi, thanks for the mod, it's awesome, but I encountered one problem. The game stalled trying to load a save. It remained at "Find'em chase'em sink'em" screen for hours.

This save is a new career I started after installing the mod. I wonder if there is anything to do with saving the game when I found a carrier task group, with like 10 enemy ships around.

great new visuals
 

great new visuals but I am staying away until the no. of planes are reduced to livable levels.

The Akagi is looking great, Maddy. Look forward to the time when I've got her sighted in my periscope. Keep up the great work.

Akagi is looking beautiful, just noticed a couple of things, the island is on the wrong side of the ship as well as the funnel. Just wondering, will Kaga also be in the next upgrade?

Webster's Better Air Patrols reduces the number of planes, and increases the skill level of the planes that are there. I installed it over FOTRS no problem.

May be to your liking, maybe not. But there it is. Not my mod in any way, so if you like it thanks goes to Webster, not me :)

This Problem is under construction !
The Kaga will come later cause she must build first.

I enjoy this mod. However, is there a fix for the TBT which is not able to turn a 360*. I believe there were two TBT's on submarines.

@ Javelin

Iam workin on it !


The problem with the Akagi is fixed.
It was not an wrong construction, only an mistake by Pack3D during the cloning-procedure.

partly fixed
 

I was able to get the TGT mod (AoB, speed and range dial fixes) to work with FOTRS mod by activation the TGT mod for SH4 1.5. That takes care of one problem.

As for decreasing the number of air patrols (planes), I am trying the Airstrike Mod to see if that decreases or elimates them. If that fails then I will try Webster's Better Air Patrols.

Nice work on the Akagi, look forward to seeing her in FOTRS and the Kaga when she's ready. :D

getting aspect ratio and range?
 

:confused:Does FOTRS match the keel of the shadow ship with the mast of the target for aspect ratio and distance? If not, what are the rules for aspect ratio and range for merchants and warships? I could not find any instructions on this issue.:confused:

Lately, planes have not been driving me as crazy as before. Maybe it is the No Airstrike mod? If I see too many, I will try Webster's better planes mod.

Visuals are the best of the major mods, RFB and TMO in my opinion. This is a very well done mod. :up::woot:

I have identified a problem with using the ruler tool to plot a course. It is difficult to read the compass during night missions, unless I am colorblind. Last time my eyes were checked, colorblindness was not a problem. The solution seem simple. Perhaps in the next version the compass dial could be illuminated (or we will all have to play using magnifying glasses in night time missions.)
