This is to announce:
ISP 2.0
is ready!
:woot:

The main difference between ISP 1.1 and ISP 2.0 is that the new version has a complete rework of the subs diving performance, and that it adds fixes for the surface ships.
A detailed readme is included.

Version 2.15 (for RFB + RSRDC)________ HERE
Version 2.4 (for TMO alone)____________HERE

Version 2.6 (for TMO + RSRDC)_________HERE

SilentPrey Version (TMO_RSRDC_OTC)____HERE

Patch for version 2.x (RFB and TMO)______HERE

Version 2.8 (for RFB and RSRDC) _______ HERE

ISP is Improved Ship Physics for RFB 2.0

ISP 2.0 is Improved Ship Physics (for RFB 2.0)

This mod makes the propulsion, turning, sea-keeping characteristics more realistic. It is for RFB 2.0 only. It will not work with TMO.

This is all explained in the readme. The reason I did not go into any great detail here is because I have been describing the work and issues involved in the related mod workshop thread, and figured most interested parties have already seen that. This was just an announcement to let people know that it was ready, in case they don't visit the other section regularly.

The linked thread goes into mind-numbing detail, for those interested.

Sorry for any confusion.

You are all welcome.

Anyone, who notices something worthy of comment, is invited to post such here, or in the other section, so any indicated fixes/improvements/changes can be made to a future version.

I plan on making a TMO-compatible version, but not right away. I want to get feedback on this one, and see how it goes.

Note on DE's and kaibokans:

I did not touch any weapons, but the turning radii of these should be significantly smaller than before. Possibly, this will make them more dangerous.

If any ships you see are unstable, please note the circumstances, and the class, so I can make the required fixes. I fixed a few that I happened to notice, or that I remembered being a problem, but in no way, did I do a systematic check of all of them. That would require much too much work.

Anyway, happy hunting! :salute:

No.

Was the weather bad?

It's no big deal. I should have provided the extra info; it was just an oversight on my part. Anyway, the readme covers everything pretty well (I hope), and should help people who are unsure, decide if they want to use it. :)

I'm guessing they just didn't see you because you were at radar depth and it was dark; and they didn't hear you because you were in the middle of their task force.

I have not really had that kind of situation, so it's hard for me to say.

I'll look into it. I don't know why there would be much of a difference, though. None of the damage points, torp, gun, shell numbers have been changed. They only thing about this that I changed was the CrashSpeed. This was done to reduce sinkings in heavy seas. :hmmm:

I think merchants have always been very sturdy in RFB, probably too much so, but I didn't want to get into this area - likely to be long slog.

You only mention merchants. Are the warships any different?

If you want to get the ships back to RFB behavior (in terms of sinking), you can disable the mod, go into the sea folder, and then delete each ship's *.zon file. The CrashSpeed is in that file.
