Default Mr. Nicolas

Out of respect and awe for the Easy AoB mod, I now refer to Nicolas as "Mr. Nicolas."

Here are a couple of suggestions.

Follow Neal Stevens advise re downloading the mod in the Downloads section, as he is a (if not, the) Subsim leader.

Also, you may want to arrange for the download link to be to FileFont, as that is what seems to be the most common download site used by forum members.

I cannot speak for Mr. Nicolas, who is Guatemala [a long way from port], but ddrgn's offer to combine the Easy AoB Mod with the speed dial mod seems like a very good idea. Perhaps they should exchange messages and if an agreement is reached, then do what is necessary to combine the mod? They will have to agree on a name for the mod, but I think sticking with the Easy AoB Mod is appropriate because captains are familiar with that name already, and because the speed adjustment was initially posted within the Easy AoB Mod thread. Combining efforts to improve the game seems to be a characteristic of modders (i.e. RFB Team).

Both Mr. Nicolas and ddrgn should be creidited for their work on a combined mod, should pass "Go", collect $200, and go straight to the Hall of Fame (rather than jail.) A combined mod would improve upon what is already a magnificent piece of work, and would demonstrate a conceptual knowledge of the interrelationship of speed, torpedo angles, aspect ratios, computer programing and past attack techiques ushered in by Rockin Robbins, Werner Sobe and Hitman, with the perception that many captains are frustrated wihen all of their efforts to sink a ship go for naught as a result of the contstant adjustments required to to be made to the stadimeter.

I see that the thread has been getting around 100 hits a day, so the word is getting out. I compare using this mod to graduating from a Buick to a Ferarri. For a newbie, using the mod is akin to switching from a donkey to an Indy 500 race car. (If many captains begin to use it soon the Japanese will not have a Navy!)
