That's the issue. With RFB there's nothing in the Makassar straits or anywhere else. I usually start on Jan. 19th, 42 (to give the other "aces" a head start). I'm almost always sent to the Makassar straits or close to them in the Celebes Sea. I wait for days, and nothing. Then there's the issue of seeing contacts fly by me on the Nav Map without any "Ship Sighted!" event, i.e., a ship's sighted and it automatically slows to ix. With RFB it just flies by. I don't know whether it's a friendly or an enemy.
My issue is, is it supposed to be this way, or is it just my download? Enemy merchants being somewhat scarcer is a good thing to me. Non-existent is another story.
I'll try starting at Cavite and see what happens.
Thanks.
