The coloring of the image is quite different than what I get on mine, and I do not have the "shadow" the way Navelintel does. I can now see that the on-deck equipment is indeed an S-Boat, and the IX's bow is much wider that the S's... different vid cards, different set-ups etc.

I will make sure to report back what I’ll learn when trying out the new patch
This will not be a "patch" when released, but a full release. Backwards compatible with your Saves, but a full release
Very exited to try out the new AI and if I understand correctly more enemy dd’s?
No, plenty of DD, DE, Frigates, Corvettes, etc. already in the game, but definitely a new AI set-up
Thank you again for your awesome work with fotrsu

Your truly making this game exited to play now 13 years after release 👏
why, thank you!

In TMO I can raise and lower my SD air search. I can raise and lower both of my periscopes and I can go into the conning tower and turn off the SJ surface search radar by clicking the little switch on the radar console.
The SD in TMO uses a Rise / Lower controller, but that can also be an On / Off instead, but not both. We chose the On / Off functionality instead of the Rise / Lower (that's the SH4 term, "Rise" instead of "Raise")
Is the issue that you prefer a "keystroke" to toggle the surface search radar and not have to click a button in the GUI?
There are both menu buttons, and keystroke short-cuts in FotRSU. I do not remember the TMO functionality for both...
I've been into this sim for a just a little bit (2007) I have never had an enemy escort home in on me via the Air Search radar, turning it off or on is a moot point.
I purchased SH4 prior to its release, so have also been with it since 2007 (SH3, SH2 and SH1 before, as well as early C-64 "sims" ). I have had enemy planes home in on the SD radar all of the time. Try sometime to go across without the SD on, and you might never "see" an airplane. Turn the SD on, and you'll have airplanes come right at you in most inappropriate places. A carrier must be nearby I suppose... I have also been extremely irritated when attempting to leave or return to Pearl (or any of the home ports) by the SD radar interrupting the TC with "Radar Contact, bearing...". You cannot turn the SD off when using TMO. You can with FotRSU.
The Surface search radar is a different rabbit all together. The will come find you.. But there is a switch built into the GUI to turn that off.
Yes, Same with FotRSU. In FotRSU, if you are sitting at radar depth and attempting to use your SJ in slightly rough seas, and a wave washes over your radar antenna, it will turn off, but with the default for the SJ set to "On", it will turn on again for you, no user intervention required. You can turn both radars off, if desired.
And when you use the radar to get in front of the target and submerge there is no radar emissions at all , on or off makes no difference.

You're underwater.
... Unless you order Radar Depth (the "R" key) and they are "On"....

FotRSU does not have a "Decks Awash" setting, but uses "Radar Depth", which varies between subs somewhat, similar to what PD does.
