Let's see your manual targeting mod list -
 

I have tried lots of mod combos. I have three different game set ups on my computer, and with recent mod additions, they are all good. Here they are:

Map contacts are enabled.

Setup No. 1

Trigger Maru Overhauled 2
TMO Update 20 to 21
RSRDC TMO V502
RSRDC V5xx Patch1
Fixed CD sonar RSRDC
Fixed Zero Bomb Load RSRDC
IJN Radar Fix for TMO v1
TMO Visuals for RSRDC
SCAF for RSRDC v 502 2.0
Max Optics IV for TMO 2
Stock Map Icons
TGT Dials for PK Fix TMO (Easy Aob)
USS Barbarinna Fooskin Combo Custom
Nav Map Make Over v. 2.0
Captain Midnights CBS News Sound Mod
EAXsoundsim with Webster's Manauever TMO
Extra Allied nvaval bases for SH4 + UBM + TMO1.7
3000 Yard-Meter Bearling Tools (1280 x 960)
Damage caused by fires (TheDarkWraith)
#4 PE4 Ship debris Sh4 with bodies
New Large Lifeboats

(Alternative set up: If "no map contacts" is enabled, delete Stock Map Icons and insert nisgeis' 3d TDC. This mod slows game play as plotting attacks take longer.)

Setup No. 2

Webster's GFO Mod v1.1
Webster's New Orders Bar Menu for v1.5
#2 Submarine spash and roll pitch mod with
#3 Corotio cameral fixes bugs for the uboats
#4 Warships retextured
#5 optional loading screen
Extra Allied nvaval bases for SH4 + UBM + TMO1.7
Damage caused by fires (TheDarkWraith)
Nav Map Make Over v. 1.1
New Large Lifeboat
Real Guns Sound Mod
USS Barbarinna Fooskin Combo Custom
#4 PE4 Ship debris Sh4 with bodies
Optical Targeting Correction (new mod)
OTC US radar from Start (new mod)
OTC German PPI Sceen (new mod)
3000 Yard-Meter Bearling Tools (1360x)
Carotio's Intercontinental Radio Pack
#1 Real Environment mod install
Webster's GFO Patch for Real Env #1
Stock Map Icons
Military Morse Code keys
Carotio's SH4 TrukCoralHarbourCityLocations

Alternative: If map "no map contacts" is enabled, determine speed by calculating the time it takes the target to cross the specified periscope bearing (I have yet to attempt this.), or use the 3D TDC if it does not conflict with OTC. If required, apply Capn Scurvy's tutorial on calcutiing target's course and speed with map contacts disabled or use the stand alone Sonar Tracking program.

To be added:

RSRDC v1.4 (per Webster if you use GFO with lurker's campaign mod)
Harbor fix (if such a mod exists?)

Setup No. 3 (for UBoats but this set up also provides for American boats in PTO). This is Operation Monsun, Operation Monsun Environmentally & Graphics Upgrade (OMEGU) and Kreigsmarine Interface for UBoats (KiUB.)

OpsMonsun V705
OMv705 to 720
OMv720 Patch5
OMEGU v300
OMEGU V300 Patch7 pkg
OM Plot V415
OM Harder Escort L2
OM MultCmd Keys
Karamzov
AOBF 19-9 Res
OMEGU English
KIUB English
OM SH3 Command Keys
OM Med Env
Green Lamp 2
Carotio's InterconinentalRadioPack
3,000 Meter Bearing Tool (1360x)

(Option: RSRDC and RFB.) I have just started using this mod and am still on a learning curve. Apparently it is compatible with both of these supermods. OM/OMEGU/KIUB is an excellent mod.

All set ups: For plotting intercepts at long range, set up MOBO, a stand alone program, on the desk top. This is aaronblood's masterpiece, and can be downloaded in the MOBO forum.

Mod fix request for GFO: Apparently OTC is not compatible with Easy Aob. If the Easy Aob fix for Aob only could be made compatible with GFO and OTC, it would be welcome.

Need help to determine the lead angle? Download gutted's Solution Solver stand alone program. It is a great teaching and learning tool.

Note: Carotio's InterconintentalRadioPack includes the TransAtlantic Radio Mod. The "Pack" includes three German radio stations (one with English war time broadcasts), Paris, Tokyo, Hawaii, Hollywood, NBC, CBS and BBC. It is activated via JGSME, and does not require changing the radio.ini files.

Wow that's a lotta mods. :o

Knock out TMO/RSRDC and related fixes to those mods, and option no. 1 does not have so many mods (+/- 10).

Knock out GFO and GFO related download options and option no. 2 does have so many mods (+/- 13). Webster designed GFO to be heavily moded, although he included many mod fixes in the GFO download.

Knock out OM/OMEGU and KiUB mods, and option no. 3 has only three mods.

It appears to be much worse than it actually is when you separate the "mod fixes" related the supermods, i.e TMO/RSRDC, GFO/Real Environment and OM/OMEGU/KiUB, from the mods that are independent of those fixes.

Just started another career. I usually run a few others, just haven't loaded them yet.
IGD, trying to figure what's duplicate.

I've run my list and more with not effect in game play, basically same as IGD's list, plus several others. Just think if we didn't have a supermod, our list would include about 100 mods.

Certainly mod soup is possible when you load lot's of mods that screw each other up, so I only use those I've tested. I've certainly gotten mod soup testing mods.

If we could just get Duc to include all these, then our list would be short indeed.:O:

Mods Version....
 

First I must congratulate the idea of opening a thread about mod list to use :up: this is realy a must for nOObs like me :oops:

Need some advice here :hmmm:

1 -If I decide not use the TGT Dials for PK Fix TMO (Easy Aob)
and I decided to use OTC that is not compatible with Easy AOB

a) should I use the mod ---> optical_targeting_correction or the mod ---> otc_for_rsrdc_550 ?

b) Because otc_for_rsrdc_550 is for V550, and if I follow your mod soup whe have the mod RSRDC TMO V502, so...

c1) Is it safe to use otc_for_rsrdc_550 with RSRDC TMO V502 ?
c2) If not, any mod soup based in TMO+RSRDC can not use the OTC ?


2) Is there any Omnimeter as I see in the Omnimeter manual from CaptnScurvy in pdf or any other format ready to print? So I can make my Omnimeter in order to feel more imersive ingame?

3) The optics are calibrated so whe can use the RAOBF weel? (I mean, the game or the mod list give use the correct optics and correct dimension of target?) to use the chronometer to estimate speed too.

4) the eyes.... well... I know it depends but what is the best interior mod for SH4?

I hope all the answers can help a lot of "Rats" like me :D

MaxOptics and SCAF
 

Sir, I wonder if, in the mod list, the right order would be:


SCAF for TMO_2
MaxOptics IV for TMO_2

Can you please correct me?

First, read the manual re the OTC written by Capn Scurvy. Then read his thread. Thjat will answer most of your questions. I do not think OTC is compatible with TMO. If it isn't, do not use it. That solves the RSRDC issues for TMO. Use the Easy Aob mod, which is a great mod and was runner up for mod of the year awhile back. By the way what is the "RAOBF weel" (wheel?)?

check Capn Scurvy's thread in the mod forum re these mods or PM him. I am not sure the order matters.

mods list
 

RAOBF -> Range and Angle on Bow Finder, a wheel used in U-Boats (in use in sh5) Mods by Makman (manos scopes) and Karamazov works. After measure the ship mast and lenght you get the range to targer and AOB fast and easy :yeah:

Ahhh! yes! I use this mod "D3D9Antilag" and its a must to save any graphic card and I quote " D3D9 antilag helps to reduce input lag in Direct3D9 games by limiting the amount of frames that
are rendered ahead by the video card. It can also limit the framerate for smoother gameplay and reduced cpu/gpu utilization"

The eye cant see more then 35 fps, right? realy good to use in all games :up:

karamovnew refers to it as the AOBF wheel.

Use Multi SH4 to load different versions of the game.

RAOBF
 

Yes, in the KiBU User Guide the word is AOBF, but they should use RAOBF as they used in SH3 and SH5. :hmmm:

Anyway, RAOBF and Omnimeter is just one cosmetic change for the true sinus scale! The sinus scale or one slide ruller, it was what they use by that time.

RAOBF, Omnimeter under the OTC mod, they are only cosmetic, eye candy!

The fact is that with a slide ruller and sinus scale you can get Range to target and AOB using AOB = arc sin ((Aspect Ratio Observed) / (Aspect Ratio Reference))

As easy as that :03:
