[WIP]Operation Monsun
 

obe

>>Also will it be compatible with TM / RFB? Yes

Thats good news. If your all up on the campaign, i can work on other things. Truth be told i loath getting into MIS layers again. Its not that i dont know what im doing with them, i just hate doing them. Tedious and time consuming. I tip my hat to your enourmous amount of patience which i lack.

Thank you Lurker!:up: This is great news.

No problem. I like doing this kind of thing

Id rather be in a dat, sim, zon, or sensor file somewhere. :lol:

Excellent!

So many juicy mods to play with. I need to get my hands on the add-on. :p

Best news we could hope for!! :D :D :D

Lurker, you deserve a medal of special recognition for your efforts! The subsimmers community will be forever in debt with you, sir! :rock:

Cool. Lurker unleashed on the Monsun campaign. Can hardly wait.

Awesome news! I've decided to dive in and do a few careers in RSRDC and I can't say enough about how good it is. As I always said, the German campaign likewise has great potential, in the right hands...

Are you by any chance thinking of working on getting any of the "strategic features" adapted in some form into RSRDC by any chance?

Good news, but please clean up your names.cfg from unnecceserys entries first.

look forward to it. thanks. :rock:

And what does this suppose this mean?

In your last Release RSRDC_V355_for_V15 I found i.e. this Entries in the Names.cfg:

wrong entry: KyushuQ1W1=Kyushu Q1W1 correct Entry =Q1W1=Kyushu Q1W1


FBBeaufighter=Beaufighter Fighter Bomber
FBMosquito=Mosquito Fighter Bomber
FBMosquitoTsetse=Mosquito-Tsetse Fighter Bomber
SSunderland=Sunderland Patrol Plane
TBAvenger=Avenger Torpedo Bomber

DDNClass=N Class Destroyer
DDWmod=Admiralty Mod. Destroyer
CLBellona=Bellona Light Cruiser
CVIllustrious=Illustrious Fleet Carrier=
CVImplacable=Implacable Fleet Carrier
DDCClass=C Class Destroyer
DDCodrington=Codrington Class Destroyer
DDLClass=L Class Destroyer
DDMClass=M Class Destroyer
DDQClass=Q Class Destroyer
DDSClass=S Class Destroyer

but there arent any Units in the Data/Sea-Folder or Air-Folder, that`s makes me a little confused. I always searching for this Units but I can`t find them: therefore I think these are unnecceseries Entries! You understand what I mean?:up:

I could not have drooled it better myself:up:

Since this thread has "nothing to do" with RSRDC, why are you posting this here ?

Also I went over this with you once before.

As I stated then and will state now these entries have "no effect" no game play. If you don't like them, you can remove them from your download without an negative effects

A great idea,here's a suggested reference for you
 

Hi to you and god speed with your project, SH4 and the new mod deserves to be taken seriously.

I wonder if you have heared of a brilliant book that describes the exploits of U862 under Kapitanleutnant Heinrich Timm, the book is called U-Boat Far From Home by David Stevens ISBN 1864482672 published by Allen & Unwin

The book is very interesting as its based on the U862 which is the only boat to make it as far as the east coast of New Zealand and therefore the only Monsun boat to achieve anything significant.

Apart from a really interesting accounts of just how unlikely a Monsun boat was to actually make it to the far east, the book aslo contains invaluable tables and charts and notes covering the departure, arrival, attacks and sinking or survival of around 69 Ubots who made, or tried to make the journey

I hope this information might be of interest

And here's something which was provided by one of the guys from the UBI forums to watch in the mean time:

Nice.

Have you seen the Monsun addition in GWX? I researched that extensively over a three month period, if not longer. It adds pretty much all British Eastern Fleet movements, USN/RAN TF.74, Operations Jaywick and Rimau, Japanese Reconnaissance of Australia (the little known Japanese "invasion" of WA), The Destruction of the Brake and the Charlotte Schliemann, Operation Diplomat, Operation Cockpit, Operation Crimson, Australian minesweeping and ASW operations, Operation Interlude, Operation King II, Operations Lightning and Matador, Operations Meridian I and Meridian II and, of course, the hunt for U862. All additions are based on actual RAN/RAAF data with the only variance in SH3 implementation being related to model availability (or lack thereof). BBW did a *brilliant* job translating all this data into the mis files.

Anyway, when I researched the theatre I relied on numerous non-online sources.

For the German POV, I relied a lot on "Hitler's Grey Wolves: U-boats in the Indian Ocean". It paints a good picture on the theatre including photos, mainly of Penang but also covers Singapore, Kobe and the DEI bases.

For the Allied POV, I relied extensively on both the offical RAN and official RAAF histories - no other references come close in detailing Allied involvement in the Indian Ocean. Plus I had access to a number of RAN historians who answered some of the more curly questions for me.

I might still have all my research notes, which include actual allied convoy routes and copies of official documents that dictate very specific convoy rules - ie size, speed, escort composition, dates etc etc.

Whilst a lot of my research is captured in GWX, a lot isn't. What GWX doesn't capture are the correct convoy routes and convoy rules (ie those mentioned above). I found those around the time I left the GWX team, and whilst I sent them on to the team, I don't think they've ever been incorporated.

So...I have no problem providing you all my research notes if a) you want them and b) I can find them. You can then do with them what you want.

Might just save you some time reinventing the wheel. ;)
