Unable to replicate this, I start multiple USN careers, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 and the orders are in nm. In the screen where I can select Metric, Imperial and Authentic. I chose Authentic. If this is related I do not know.

My list;

Enviromental 4.4a mod
RFB_v1.5_051408
RSRDC_RFBv15_V395_Final
RFB_ShellNoisePatch

Just tried to replicate this one in two seperate careers, training and single missions and it will not do it......

Tried with S-18 and a Gar...Porpoise...Gato. No dice!

My list;

Enviromental 4.4a mod
RFB_v1.5_051408
RSRDC_RFBv15_V395_Final
RFB_ShellNoisePatch

Now that there is extra crew on the sub i have been informed that we need more wet weather gear .

W_CLEAR ENVIRO MOD 4.4a
RFB 1.5
RSRDC for RFB1.5

Yes, I saw that as well in the rain. (Using PE3 here.)

Just letting you know: the menu works great for me now. Thank you.

Good deal!:up:

I hit rain when playing yesterday. My guys had the gear on. I'm using PE3 as well.

In the stock campaign, S-18, with RFB1.5, dec 41, first patrol, in the other side of Luzon, when I try to send supply of the shore (that was my mission), when I click SEND SUPPLY ... I have CTD.

I havent other mod installed. RFB is fantastic!!! :up:

This MOD is fantatic!! I wanna thank the RFB Team for their hard-work. :up:

Of course, I have just one question: There seems to be no difference between observation and attack periscope at maximum magnification. Is this historically acurate, or am I missing something? I thought the attack had a higher magnification at the expense of it being darker.

[quote=Wilcke][quote=Wilcke]Thanks for trying, that means it must just be a corruption on my install...will do a full re-install and try again... thanks a lot for your hard work! :yep:

[quote=Schultzy][quote=Wilcke]I was hoping for other folks to confirm this as an issue. I am sure you are using JSGME if so unload all your mods and do a "compare snapshot" to see if your install has changed prior to doing a complete reinstall. Its what I do...

Then I would delete that pesky SH4 directory under My Documents (you will loose your careers) not the whole thing just the CFG folder. Then restart SH4 set your resolution and bells and whistles. Exit SH4 reload mods and try it again. Just an idea.

[quote=Wilcke][quote=Schultzy]I have had the camera running out of sectors issue for awhile now. It did not start with RFB, but with PE3 for me. I believe it was listed as a known issue with the camera system used in PE3, possibly something to do with free cam?

RFB may actually have improved this issue for me, as it used to happen every time I accidently clicked on the officer in the command room. Now it usually occurs if I either right click to go back to the command room after clicking on the conning tower, or right click to go back from the sonar/radar after clicking on the station in the conning tower. It does not break the game, I simply have a black screen if I try to access the conning tower. All other views continue to work as normal.

There are also some instances where I get a green screen when clicking around an interior, but I think that is with U-boats.

akdavis,

Had not read about your PE3.3 issue, I ran PE3.3 with RFB 1.5 for about two patrols with no issues.

PE3.3 plus some of its additional mods.
Special effects
Roll & Pitch Caustics
mmm forgot what else

RFB 1.5
RSRDC

I did note that in 15m seas the S-18 was on rails the GAR was behaving nicely.

I have now unloaded PE3 and now running W_Clear's EE4.4a, in the same order. No issues with out of sector cameras. I have other issues but those are my own personal taste issues and nothing operational with the sim.

Thanks for the input, good to know!:up:

Yeah, in the first PE3 release the S-boats were rolling over in high seas, but the fix seems to have taken them too far in the other direction.

Anyways, I have tested the conning tower "out of camera sectors" issue some more and have it isolated. These test were made with the Porpoise in the training missions. I isolated the problem to right-clicking back to the conning tower out of the hydrophone or radar views after having clicked on them from the conning tower view.

I don't see this happening in stock 1.5 or in Environment 4.4a installed alone.

With latest PE3 installed alone, I have the problem.

With latest RFB installed alone, I have the problem, and I know from before that I also have the problem with PE3 + RFB, but I am yet to test Environment 4.4a with RFB.

Pretty sure I had this problem or even worse issues with TM before as well.

Does anyone else have woefully slow loadtimes with RFB1.5 .
I have installed
PE3.3
RFB1.5
RSRDC for RFB1.5
installed in that order.
Its that slow at loading and saving a game its not enjoyable .
I dont know weather its my comp or maybe someone can confirm or deny it .
Stock 1.5 with RSRDC for stock loads in about 30seconds . This RFB1.5 setup takes forever . over .

Same install as yours completed two careers last night, saves in 5 seconds and back to Resume/Option Screen and loads and reloads in 30 seconds. Swapping between careers same thing 30 seconds. Ran it about 2.5 hours last night continuously, not a burp not a hiccup.

AMD X2 4800
4 gigs of RAM
BFG 7950 GT OC
Win XP Pro
1280 by 960 100mhz

Your mileage may vary...I don't know what else to tell you on that one.

I have two other installs one with TMO 1.5b and the other with Operation Monsun, they are both equally fast at Saves and Loads. Has not been an issue for me ever with SH4.

Hope you can sort it out or someone else who has had the issue crop up.

It seems to be different for all. RFB for me is not painfully long but I have to look at the machine I'm running it on. It is not the fastest out there to be certain. I have the same install order as you. I would say the times to load are not that long but are longer then loading a stock game.

Load and save times are, I'm sure, pretty dependent it's the amount of RAM. I found that SH uses the pagefile.sys file A LOT when you've got 1GB or less... I have 1GB RAM and my pagefile grows from 223Mb to 1.43Gb...:-?

OK , i deleted my SH4 folder and restarted my career and all is back to normal . Takes 30 seconds from clicking on load game to actually playing and that is with a pentium 2.4/1 gig of ram and a ati X800 pro graphics card . over .

IIRC, it depends on whether you're talking about the US boats or the German ones. The German scopes were set up the way you mention above. The US scopes, however, had the same max magnification for both attack and observation scopes. IIRC, the US obs scope allowed more light in (and thus was often referred to as the night scope, rather than the obs scope, since it was intended for use at night)because it was bigger than the attack scope (size was also less of a problem at night, in terms of chance of being spotted by enemy at night). Another interesting difference between the US and German scopes was that in the U-boats it was the obs scope that was set up to be able to pivot high and scan for planes, whereas in the US boats it was the attack scope that had this capability instead of the obs/night scope (not much need to scan the skies for planes at night - hence no reason for the night scope to have this high-angle capability).

Check here for some good info on the US scopes:

Been a while since I read all that stuff, so I hope I'm remembering it correctly.

Good luck and good hunting!
