Thanks for all the replies.I think I had it about right but I wasn't always using the regular speeed settings.I'm going to stick to the knotmeter at just about 11 knots,If I'm running at 10 knots in a gato,my favorite,I seem to do ok.You must keep an eye on your knot meter,because right out of no where you will be at flank speed.I have run done to Darwin many times to top off my tanks,but I found out another sad thing,you don't get any torps when you rearm!I love RFB and I thank everyone involved.I know there will be some tricky areas,and that is to be expected.Both the RFB team and Ducimus are true heros to us wanna be skippers.Cheers for their efforts.For SHIII a fellow made a mode that really helped with the fuel consumption problem,but that isn't doing we SH IV skippers any good.I hate at play at at a low realism because of unchecking the limited fuel box,but I may have to,if I cannot strech my fuel better.I'm play at 83%,and that's because I don't like messing with setting up torps,let the robot do that.and I like to be able to see outside the box shall we say,it adds to the enjoyment for me,even though it's wrong to do so.I just want to have fun with either TMO or RFB,and I have to hit the realism to allow this to happen.I wouldn't be happy with full realism,and it's all about happiness.I fly Aces High,and I really moan when they have a machine doing something it wasn't capable of in rl.Again thanks for all the help,and good hunting.
