Thanks. Does this just overite the last 1.5 version? Do I need to start a new camp?

It would be best to install when you arrive back to your port. No need to start a new career if you do that.

Do just as they did in real life. Shoot at your target and observe the resulting behavior. The ship is not sunk until it sinks. They did not put X number of holes into a ship and then go on their merry way.

Hello

I have question about hydrophone sounds. I wanted to try RFB coz I have played with TMO most time. I was suprised when I went to hydrophone station and I heard very strange noises in my headphones when I located target. I mean her engine sound. It sounded like someone splash with hand into water. I am not expert in all this sub stuff but I want to ask if there another sound of engine when you use hydrophones or there is something wrong with my RFB mod ? Or maybe this is "real" sound ?

Cheers

Those are real recordings taken from the sonar used aboard American fleet subs during WWII. They were all taken from www.hnsa.org, from this page: http://www.hnsa.org/sound/index.htm#jp.

Real sounds! :up: Probably the one best part of the sound mod LukeFF put together. :D

RFB replaces the sound files with real hydrophone recordings, but the problem comes in when the SH4 engine 'superimposes' another waveform on top of this sound file making it sound messy. This superimposed waveform produces prop-shaft rev sounds on the original sound file, but as the mod file has these rev sounds already, it becomes a double whammy... :)

I have a question about crew promotions. I have just pulled into port in Perth from my second patrol. Where the promotions normally are, it says that my sub has the maximum amount of petty officers. I know that there's a limit but are there just not any promotions or do I need to cut some of the petty officers loose before I can hand out any promotions? I know in R/L skippers lost around a third of the crew.

BTW, the crew management in RFB is light years away from the stock set-up. With everything this mod has added, it is a completely different game than what Ubisoft offers out of the box and IMO, it has really made a pretty good game excellent. :up:

To promote sailors to the Petty Officer ranks you will have to remove petty officers already on your boat, and then you can hand out promotions.

Glad you like it! :)

Just to put this out here as well: we are always looking for talented modders and testers to help us out with making RFB that much better. The last round of releases showed that extensive testing is needed to make sure bugs like the torpedo gyro angle error get squashed before releasing it to the public. Currently a number of our testers and developers are away from the forums, thus making it all the more important that we recruit new testers to the team. Check out our forums at http://forum.kickinbak.com/index.php...647a9120c08614 if you want to help out. Thanks!

Maybe the RFB team can help out with the Kickinbak forum.

I'm a bit confuzzed here.. I haven't posted yet..

Does somebody not like me.. I might get a personality complex.. :lol:

Have you posted before? Swdw has to approve the party who wants to join. This is to keep out the spammers who want to sell Nokia phones. Anyway, work has got Swdw super busy so you may not get a response right away.

No, I didn't get a single post in (not that I remember.. it's been a month or so, and I've been really busy in RL)
I registered, got the acceptance email a day or two later. I then went to the login page a few days after this, and it says I'm banned, and must contact the admin... I cannot even see any admin links... :(

Not to worry, Swdw and LukeFF should see this post and get you sorted.

Can you try it again? I looked at your account, and all looks good to me.
