Just wondering when the next patch with the Thunderbolt and other ships and planes is coming out. Are you guys just teasing?

Hope to see all this funky new stuf soon! Keep up the good work!

Hi,

we from the german AOTD-Community are now testing the german version of the upgrade.

If there are no big problems i will release the english upgrade soon as possible.
In my opinion i could do this until march.

Hope thats fast enough........

Sounds great! March would be wonderful.:up:

Ok, now the downside.....:oops:

I have the English version 1.1 and the boat skins were fine. I put in the patch and got some conflict warnings in JSGME. I decided to try it anyway and some of the ships have strang skins-the US tugs (schleppers) are all black except the spotlights, some of the US battleships showed black except for turrets and radar, and one of the US tankers was white. I checked the library and they showed up strange as well as some other ships-the Deutch Unterzeeboots were invisible! Also no numbers on the dials of my sub's control room but everything was in English.

Took out the patch, got the ship skins and dials back, but lots of German again. I'm staying with the German version at the moment. Has anyone else mentioned this?

PS This is my first mod installation ever and it's only two I'm trying to run. Any advice?

Hi,

the problem with the white and black untextured ships is easy to fix.
Go to your graphic-settings of SH4 and deactivate " normal maps on ships" and save this settings.
Then all ships should be textured.

is there a 1.5 version in the works??

Help
 

Hey great mod! I was having a little trouble though. The ships water spray textures are causing me some frame rate drop. I go from 15-20 frames to 9 frames whenever I look at the ships water spray. So i was wondering if maybe it were possible to switch from the new water spray textures with the previous ones? thanks
:salute:

Hi,

in the moment i got not enough time to make a 1.5 Version real but i got it on my plan.
Perhaps in the summer.

Here is an new plane for the upcomming Upgrade.

The SBD-3 Dauntless replaces the original US-Divebomber from the Stock version.

Hi,

the Dauntless is now ready for action.
I have reworked the rear gun, the cockpit and now she got an " Bombenabwurfgestell" :D

M this looks wondeful i am going to be trying this soon. I wanted to ask you ..have you mods for your water? the ocean in your pics looks fantastic, really good...is that from FOTRS? or from other mods? thanks for all that hard work, i know the history of this time very well and all the ships and planes are very very accurate. :)

Hi Admiral,

you are german ? Iam too !

So now i will give the answer.
The Water is from W-Clear´s Environment 5.0 with small reworks.
In my eyes W-Clear´s Env. 5.0 looks much more better in SH4 V1.4 as in the UBM-Version 1.5 !
Thats why FOTRS-Water seems to be an own creation but this Water is 99% W_clear´s work.
I only reworked the wave amplitude !

Thanks for your answer!:yeah:

I'll get on to that tonight-I switched to TMO for a while but, just between me and you, I really love the roster of ships and planes that all of you guys that are working on FOTRS have made-absolutely beautiful models! :up:

Looking forward to the new models!

PS Saw the Dauntless-DROOOOOOL! Keep all this goodness coming!

Maddy, Greetings!

Deutsch und österreichischen Familie, sondern leben in den USA. Vielen Dank für die schöne Arbeit.

It is a wonderful mod and i am now visiting the additional great work on the Aces of the Deep site too. My goodness.

The water looks wonderful. And as i said, i know this era so very well and have fought many campaigns with these ships and all look, well, perfect.

Vielen Dank for all.
