Maddy,

Great looking vessel.

This morning when I fired up the FOTRS for the very first time I flicked on the volumetric fog as I noticed the work for the environment was w-clears. He was able to work the files were fog did not slow my computer. Off in the distance, after working my way up the the coast from Manila out of the mist comes a task force! I have outside views on and went to see your handy work on the warships. They are great looking! Reality set in and I had to go to work. :shifty: Oh well, I will continue the patrol tonight!

Hi Warhawk,

oh well but the ships in your old version of FOTRS are not in the same state as the new shipment of V2.0.
The changes are very very heavy. :rock:

All sounds are heavy reworked, especially the plane-sounds and when you fire your deckgun, gunpowder and smoke will make you sick and shrink down your sight.
All big vessels will fire red flares when they destroyed.
If you see this flares you can be sure that this vessel will sink but it can take more then one hour.
When you surface the boat, you can hear four 2Stroke diesel starting up.

BB´s and Cruiser will shoot against each other in a range over 16.000 meters.
It´s nice to get between those battles, hear the bullets crossing your head.
I used for this different AI-Visual sensors.
BB´s got the longest range..........
All US Radar-based Guns in Latewar got better precission as the japanese ones.
V2.0 is very big stuff, 1,75 GB !
I think you will enjoy it.

Regards

Maddy

And your description above is the very reason I sit day after day waiting, watch, wondering when it will be available!!!! :oops:

Once again it draws the question...when will it be released? :D

Couldn't wait either and went for 1.3 for the time being, luckily version 1.3 is only 1.73Gb :o

Please give a release date... Please!

Ohh boy,

Something to look forward too over the weekend :yeah:

Got my first German vessel, its a blockade runner. Mid Jan '42 somewhere of the coast of Japan.
Seen Dutch and Australian vessels before but never a Axis vessel in SH4.

She's doing 16Kts... Hunt is on :rock:

Maddy,

I love the engine sound of the S class. Sounds like a 20 year old beater of a submarine running on memory! :haha: Good stuff!

Alas, my little S did not survive aircraft attack. She sunk two small escorts and made way to Convoy College where she met her fate. Fragile little tube of steel.

Hello Captains,

now iam working on some specials like this :

I like it Maddy! :up:

I CANT WAIT !!!
 

I really like that Maddy. Keep up the great work. I have quit playing SH4 in anticipation of your mod and I am looking forward to it. You arent going to change the music in it I hope. I really love your choice of music in 1.5.

I love it maddy this looks fantastic great work

I was wondering about the campaign layers.

I did try your mod some time ago; I found that the shipping lanes were positively crowded with ships - too many, I thought. Especially tankers, which I saw lots of, as well as convoys.

I was playing early war, Dec/Jan 41-42.

Have you made any changes to the campaign layers?

Same question!

Regards.

Fitzcarraldo :salute:

Please make this periscope an add on when you release fotrs please thanks this pic is awesome.


Lt Commander Lare

That looks awesome dude:yeah:

Lol... Those guy's keep adding stuff to the MOD and it keeps getting bigger and bigger.
Wat size do you think it will be when its released?

I think close to 2.3G

Winner gets the release date :har:

Hi everybody, i am new to this forum :)

Recently i have played FOTRS mod, and i think it is awesome! And it keeps getting better with the upcoming version 2.0! :up:

Just i have noticed some things : the Hansa Class freighter was supposed to be only german and not japanese, am i wrong? I have encountered a sen-toku class submarine in 1942 (6 july) whereas they were used in 1945. Sorry if i am maybe a few nitpicky..

A proposal too, what about including submarines from keltos01 (if he allows of course) as enemy AI controlled submarines?

rocking boat :-?, lots of them... every escort in the taskforce is doing it, shame its only possible to see the centered one... if you look carefully, the one on the far right is slightly listing also

Hi Maddy i was wondering before you release fotrs can you add the general alarm button to the conning tower like ducimus had in tmo that was so cool would that be a problem to add that to the conning tower thanks


Lt Commander Lare

If you get the reworked interiors from the download section the buttons are there and usable I think. I loaded the interiors after FOTRS. The buttons were there and highlighted when I put my cursor over them. However, I did not press the the mouse to see if they buttons functioned.
