Hello Captains,

i always have been asked of the release date.

The answer is quiet simple.

In 2008 when i started the work on FOTRS i never beleaved how complex FOTRS grow up in the future.
I started the work with the knowledge of SH3-Modding.
I used many Dat´s with embedded TGA´s without any knowledge of the problems those kind of files will bring in future.

SH4 is an bigbored son of SH3.
Some files changed for better grafiks, for example the DDS-format.
Everybody knows that DDS-files are smaler then TGA´s.
FOTRS V2.0 got so many units and other parts that i have to shrink down the grafik-files for more stable run.
The last days i restructured all Dat´s with embedded images to Dat´s with external DDS-files.
The win is over 260MB on space.
The result ?
Now V2.0 runs very stable and the last things ( rewriting the campaign) could be done now.

The USS Tennesse is finished and i hope i can release V2.0 in the end of spring ore the beginning of summer.

Sorry for the long waitingtime but the engine of SH4 collaps with the old structure from older FOTRS versions and FOTRS should be an big but stable working Mod !

Her last pictures of the Tennessee after refit in 1943.

Sorry for my bad english

Regards

Maddy
