on the Nth restart, i stayed submerged for an inordinate length of time and sailed out into the wide part of the ocean. when we surfaced after dark, there were no more verdammt aircraft.

Generally speaking though, that which you "see" are not the culprit, but rather the one behind them...

Yes, the Ohka Betty can indeed do you harm, as can the Kamikaze zero, given half a chance. I was taken out by an Okha while at PD when attacking a Task Force in the Formosa Strait near the Ryukyus a while back. I did manage to do a Save before I "died", and was able to use the exterior camera to see what had happened... quite impressive. The Lorna was showing up perhaps a bit too much, so its squadrons were reduced somewhat, and it was further "date restricted". There should be several planes that have radar beginning in late 1943 (a Betty??), but I don't remember which off the top of my head. I'll see if I can find them, or maybe s7rikeback will know, if he gets time to stop by...

Newbie here, just played SH4 generic and really liked it. Downloaded and install FOTRUS mod. Problem, when I start the game it freezes (doesn't complete the start up process --- screen with the red bar). Is there anything I can adjust to get it working?
Thanks!!!

don't want to seem unreasonably harsh but have you read the Page 1 instructions, etc? very important gouge is compiled there. things like:

• Files and instructions for the utilities are found in the mod's Support folder after extraction, in same-named sub-folders. JSGME and MultiSH4 are included, also with instructions, found in sub-folders off the Support folder. Activating the mod will put Large Address Aware and MultiSH4 into your Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific (whatever you've named it), and JSGME into the Extras folder.
• Run Large Address Aware, choosing SH4.exe as the "target" file you want to be made Large Address Aware.
• More detailed instructions can be found by activating the "01_FotRSU_Support_TOC.bat" file in the game's "root" directory
• Or by double-clicking the "01_FotRSU_TableOfContents.pdf" file in the Support folder, and then using the list in that to choose a pdf to read.

please go back to the first page of FORTRSU and read...before proceeding with playing this mod.

ditto. The main culprits are improperly installing SH4 to a "program files" folder (this was not a problem back in the WinXP days), and/or failure to empty the Save folder prior to starting the game, and/or improper activation of LAA on the SH4.exe file.
