Most (misdeed*) MODDERS (*iphone auto=spelled it to misdeed, lol) have no problem with constructive criticism. Posts like this are exactly the sort of thing that makes the modder want to just not bother. That's 2 I've seen in 1 day today.

Let us know how your own supermod is going---oh wait, you don't have one.

Experience should tell you that at 40 miles that is no radar contact. You're chasing someone's imagination, not a contact. Lots of times third party contacts aren't worth chasing. But you should already know that.

FOTRS is the most enjoyable of the super mods by my opinion and ive played over 300 RL hours with it and though there are a FEW things that are odd there overlook-able. I just want to say thanks to the creators of this one. I play with about a dozen mods running, mostly appearance mods. I can't think of a really bad thing to say about FOTRS at all. :yep::yeah:

With permission from "Matz" of the LSH3-Team, i included an nice effect from LSH3 V5.0 into FOTRS.
All ships of FOTRS shoot now red flares when they gonna sink.

Hello Captains,

here some news about the upcomming upgrade of FOTRS !

Most US-Destroyers got their DD-Numbers on the hull.
I worked it out for US-Destroyers in FOTRS.

You can choose the Number of the Destroyer in the Missioneditor by selecting the Number in the loadout-configuration.

For example :

You wanne create a mission where the DD746 USS Taussig is within.
Choose the Gearing-Class-Destroyer and select the 746 Loadoutvariation and you will see the "Taussig" in mission.

Here some Pictures :

1.) DD 692 USS Allan M. Sumner

http://www.aotd-flottille.de//FOTRS/...D692Sumner.jpg

2.) DD 696 USS English

http://www.aotd-flottille.de//FOTRS/...696English.jpg

3.) DD 699 USS Waldron

http://www.aotd-flottille.de//FOTRS/...699Waldron.jpg

4.) DD 727 USS De Haven

http://www.aotd-flottille.de//FOTRS/...727DeHaven.jpg

5.) DD 746 USS Taussig

http://www.aotd-flottille.de//FOTRS/...746Taussig.jpg

6.) DD 710 USS Gearing

http://www.aotd-flottille.de//FOTRS/...710Gearing.jpg

7.) DD 711 USS Eugene A. Greene

http://www.aotd-flottille.de//FOTRS/...D711Greene.jpg

8.) DD 716 USS Wiltsie

http://www.aotd-flottille.de//FOTRS/...716Wiltsie.jpg

9.) DD 717 USS Theodore E. Chandler

http://www.aotd-flottille.de//FOTRS/...17Chandler.jpg

For the Campaign it is planned that historical missions will have the right Destroyers !

Hope you like it

Regards

Maddy

Very cool!:salute:

Does the Captain's Log now reflect the Ship Name and Hull number rather then just?
i.e.
<Date>, <Postion>
Ship Sunk! DD 692 - USS Allan M. Sumner, <tons>

That way we can keep track of how often enemy deep dive salvage crew rez a ship...:haha:

AOTD_MadMax 12-23-10 08:49 AM

Hi Captains,

now the latewar Fletcher´s got their Numbers !
I also have reworked the Bridge to the modern style.

Here the USS DD 660 Bullard :

In comparision to Trigger Maru .. This mod is far the best !! Seems I have more magazines of dud torpedeos While using TMO .. I am not very happy with that . After you spend a few hours of chasing ships and than getting yourself into postion than the work involved of plotting setting up your torpedos and than to have them bounce off the ship is very disheartining after this cruise i will put into port and than switch back to AOTD .

Thanks MADDY

Maddy the numbers look to boxy to be standard. You can to go to the following website to see some examples. Not the best looking, but will give you an idea what the numbers looked like on the real ships.

AOTD_MadMax 12-24-10 04:44 AM

Hi Jim,

you are right, the 3D-Modells of the Numbers are to fat, i will rework them to make them more authentic.

Regards

Maddy

AOTD_MadMax 12-24-10 10:16 AM

Hi,

no i have reworked all Numbers !

After War the had big numbers but in WWII they had small numbers.
I do my research here : http://abbot.us/DD629/fletcher/

Here now an example from USS DD 538 "Stephen Potter"

http://www.aotd-flottille.de//FOTRS/...D538Potter.jpg
