Thanks Capn,
Your two responses will give me something to play around with.

Hi CapnScurvy,
I really like your OTC mod and have played with it many times. The only reason I'm playing the SH4 stock version is to play the Guerrilla Submarines Spyron Mod. I suppose I could try to play Spyron and OTC together. Not sure how well they will interact.

I felt the same as you months ago especially when I came across Spyron. Yes, OTC and Spyron do work together very well.
But, I wanted to use Real Environment as well and found it conflicts with the radar screen rings. I wanted ISP2.6 but it conflicts with Spyron. So I came up with the following;

My MOD folder
[MODS]
1_TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5=1
1_TMO_25_small_patch=2
1.5_Optical Targeting Correction 031312 for TMO 2.5=3
Bigger Better Protractors=4
Map Colour Scheme 3=5
3000 Yard Bearing Tool (1680x)=6
JayMyKey=7 ;my commands.cfg for my MacBook keyboard
TGT EASY AoB Dial=8
Splash_effect_DC_bombs_bullets_shells_1.0_for_TMO2 =9
TheDarkWraith_DC_Water_Disturbance_v2_0_SH4=10
Guerrilla-Submarines-Spyron-Mod-v1=11
Ralles Sound Folder=12
Real Environment RSRDC_TMO by Kriller + Caustic=13
Improved Ship Physics 2.6_TMO_RSRDC_OTC=14
TMO_Easier_AI for TMO2.5=15 ; TMO's easier AIsensors.dat and my own sim.cfg
UPCLocalization COmposite=16
Ralles Textures=17

TO fix the conflict with OTC's radar screen I removed these files from Real Environment MOD;

Real Environment_RSRDC_TMO by Kriller+Caustic MOD
/Data/Misc
ppiCircles.dds_rem4OTC
Radar.dds_rem4OTC
radarContact.dds_rem4OTC
radarContact0.dds_rem4OTC
radarContact1.dds_rem4OTC
radarSweep.dds_rem4OTC

I added the _rem4OTC so I knew why I was removing these files.

ISP 2.6 conflicts with UPClocalization.tsr in Spyron and others as listed so I
combined the differences in to a new UPCLocalization.tsr. You can do the same if you like by looking at them.

UPCLocalization Composite is a combining of the UPCLocalization.tsr's from;
TMO 2.5
OTC 1.5 for TMO
ISP2.6for TMO_RSRDC_OTC
Guerrilla-Submarines-Spyron-Mod=v1
Ralles Mod Soup 1.1

And the result for me is playing a new and invigorating campaign without RSRDC as you will notice in my [MODS].

I would think that if you wanted to use the Spyron mod, with OTC overlaying it, just delete the OTC "UPCCampaignData" folder (with the two .upc files from above). The Spyron mod files will prevail, and you may be good to go.

Reporting back.

Thanks very much CapnScurvy, I just finished one patrol and your suggestion seemed to work.

This simple mod will allow you to dive any sub beyond its Test Depth. Anyone can make it if you know how to create NEW folders in your Windows Explorer. If you don't, I'm going to show you how....its time to learn!

...

In the MaxDepth= parameter just move the ; (which "comments out" the text that's read after it, meaning the game won't read it...its there to remind you of what the old figure was) to in-front of the stock game value of 100meters. Then without a space, add 1000 to MaxDepth=.....reading MaxDepth=1000 ;100meters.

Once again, CapnScurvy came to the rescue. I followed your instructions and everything seems to work as promised. Thanks CapnScurvy.
