I would suggest these for consideration:

1. RSRDC_RFB_v575 campaign traffic mod
2. RSRDC_V5xx_Patch1
3. SAP v0.9-RFB2.0 ship acceleration physics mod
4. Nav map makeover v1.1 improved charts mod
5. RSRDC_RFB_Pre Pearl Harbor Career Start start career early

I'm sure others will come up with more.

I'm not sure if Nav map makeover v1.1 is the latest version, or if there is a later/better version out there. Maybe someone will know.

Thank-you! I thought it had advanced beyond the version I was using.

I couldn't find it either.

Looking around my mod stuff, I also listed RFB_WDM_17Jan09. The WDM is for warship damage model. I'm not sure if it was later incorporated into the RFB 2.0 patch, or if it was still considered necessary. I couldn't find the actual RFB_WDM_17Jan09 mod, but I still have the SAP v0.9 mod. If the moderators give me the word, I can upload it to the site here.

I believe I originally got these from the ftp://ftp.kickinbak.com site, but I was not able to log in for some reason.

SAP v0.9 is the last version of SAP that JREX53 completed (as far as I know). In the documentation, he said this version is for RFB only. I had been using it in my RFB + RSRDC game, as there was no later version to be had.



I'm not sure if it should be used, or if RFB incorporates his changes in RFB 2.0. I guess he intended to come out with another version, but lost interest in the project:

I think the main issue as far as what version of SAP is made for what version of RFB/RSRDC, is that the merchants ships would be different. There is a different menu of merchants in Stock - RFB - RSRDC, is there not?

So, I'm guessing using the wrong version of SAP (or some GFO extract) would miss those ships that were added by RSRDC, leaving them as they were before?

I suspect most of the modders wouldn't remember what/how they did RFB and SAP.

I'll look around in some of the old RFB folders I have and see if there's anything useful.

If the mod is greyed out, it means some of it's changes were changed again by a mod installed after it. This means you shouldn't try to disable the greyed out mod until after you disable the later one first.

It also provides a clue as to what may be causing any problems you may be having with your mod soup.

swdw, I was wondering about the kind of testing that goes into this sort of mod (which I gather is quite a lot). From reading the thread, it seemed to be along the line of setting up a single mission, with a large convoy, and flinging in a few torpedoes to see how they react. This strikes me as a very slow and labor intensive method. Would it be possible to make a "shake and bake", playable mod for XYZ merchant, make whatever changes to drag coefficients/engines/etc., and drive it around awhile, instead? This way, one could tabulate how long it took to reach 10 knots, or how large the turning circle was, etc., etc.

What do you think?

First off, what are your system specs and RAM?

The bearing plotters are known memory hogs; some have problems with them. If you have enough memory, it may be due to compatibility issues with the Nav Map Makeover, as you suspect.
