Coming to periscope depth soon thereafter, she approached cautiously, keeping in mind the ship may have been the advance screen of a convoy. The contact proved to be a 150-ton trawler. Thresher battle-surfaced, commencing fire at 6,000 yards (5,500 m); the trawler sank after Thresher expended 45 5 inches (130 mm) shells, 1,000 rounds of ; and 770 20 millimetres (0.79 in) rounds".

We'll give it a shot, if I don't run out of time in this @#$% set of campaign files... The ME keeps changing things on me, and my eyes are changing things on me, and the raccoons that got in the attic and didn't want to leave upset me, and besides, the sun got in my eyes!... but we'll give it a go.

I do not understand your question the beast... The mod is applied by JSGME of course, and if you want to go back to stock, or do a different mod, you have to use JSGME to de-activate FotRSU and then activate the new mod (or not, if doing Stock) ~and~ empty the Save folder. The game runs quite a bit off of the Save game folder, so any change in JSGME will often also require an emptying of the Save folder... ??

The mod makes no changes to the "weather", so it is like in Stock and most other mods, as the beast mentions, along with TC influencing it. Another of the things about the weather that we must remember, is that it is influenced by a few things, such as if you Save the game, when you reload your Save, the weather "counter" will re-set. In other words, if it started storming several hours ago and you Save the game, when you re-enter the game through that Save, it will be like the storm just started, and you'll have to wait the whole cycle to count all over again before the game "rolls the dice" to attempt to apply another chance of a weather change. Just like flipping coins, there is a chance that it might not hit a "change" every time the weather change time comes along. Damage Repairs to your sub are similar, in that, if it takes five hours to repair a devicde on your sub after a depth charge attack, and you then Save and exit at 4:59 and then Save and exit, when you next start that game with that Save, you will have to wait five hours for the repair to be completed. Also, do not "shell-out" to Windows by use of the <Alt><Tab> or <Ctrl><Tab> key combinations, or any of the <Windows> key combinations, to do other things on your computer. SH4 is an old game and expects "static" addresses for the Windows resources it uses, such as the video and audio streams, and when you take the focus off of SH4.exe, Windows can and does re-assign those resources for the app (or desktop) you went to. When you come back to the game, it will at time have several issues, with stuck weather being one of them, but you might also see the CO2 gauge stuck and you crew asphyxiating, or other anomalies.

FOTRSU v1.004.a.
Tambor boat out of Midway 3rd patrol (actual patrol.)
Had orders to Area 4 standby. Arrived, got sink & destroy anywhere orders.
Hung around the mouth of the bay and picked up 13,000 tons.
Got orders to go to area 4 Sink & destroy for 5 days. (already in zone)

Saved game after getting the new orders. (May 23, 1942) all was OK.
patrolled around for 2 days looking for targets. Did 1 save on May 24, another save on May 25.
Had enough fun for 1 day, exited to main menu, then to windows (Win7 64bit)


Came back the next day:

Loaded from May 25.. gauges at 12 O clock high.
Back to main menu, loaded May 24 gauges at 12 O clock high
Back to main menu, loaded May 23 all ok


I don't know if it's been noted before, but the gauges on the bottom right were always pointing correctly. Gauges in control room are the problem

You are the first to report the same from Midway - but as Blue the dog says: "A clue! A clue!" Actually, I suppose it's actually Steve (Joe?? Josh??) that says it... Thanks
