There's a common error people make and it deals with how you extract the files the 7z file you downloaded. There's two ways to go about it. They way *I* go about it, is open the 7z file. Select the directory you see within the file, and then use the "Extract to" command.

Or simply left click on that first directory you see within the 7z file, drag it, and drop it into the SH4/mod directory.


The way some people do it, i think they extract the whole 7z file without ever looking to see whats in it. However they do it, you end up with the mod being "nested". Meaning instead of:

Funny_Mod_Name/Data/etc etc

they'll have

Funny_Mod_Name/Funny_Mod_Name/Data/etc etc

The first one works, the second one doesn't.

Do I need the max optics and hot fix 041789?

I keep hearing Max optics, i need to look into that. The hot fix is no longer needed. It was incorporated.

AND dumbest question of all where do I find the instructions to get rid of the NOMO GRAPH, and how to get tails back?

it should be in the FAQ. Somewhere in TMO's manual. The short answer is open the menu.ini file.

Its located in SH4/data/menu

Open it with note pad, and search for "nomo". When you find it, they'll be a block of code, looks sort of like

[G124 IH]
bunch of numbers here
bunch of numbers here
blah blah blah
texture something or rather "data/menu/somepath/nomograph.tga
blah blah blah


Either put a semicolon before each line, or just delete the block entirely. They'll be two instances of this in the menu.ini file. One for the germans, one for the US.

The nomograph is cool, but to be honest i don't use it all that much either.

I swear I will write it down. Be kind and chalk it up to advanced years, I am 70 years old, and spent to many years in a high neutron flux on to many old boats. The glow dimished some time back, hardly noticeable in full light.

You know, there's a whole lot of questions I'd love to ask you about the smoke boats. (im assuming you served on one in the cold war maybe?) Mainly like "what have i got right, and "what have i got wrong?" Especially with this update. All info for a guy like me is second or third hand, or inferred. For instance, you can see "3 engine speed" in a ton of patrol reports, but none ever cite any exact numbers on it.
