FotRSU - Solomons appears empty

Hello everyone,

It has been a while.
I recently got back do SH4 and installed the amazing FotRSU. First thank you all for a masterful Mega Mod, it breathed new life into the game.
Now I've been having some issues and searching the forums I found people with similar problems but the discussions did not offer a solution or the closure I was hoping for.

1. First one is regarding the stadimeter, I seem to be getting wrong readings, as the OP of this post - https://www.subsim.com/radioroom//sh...d.php?t=256800. I have a ultrawide monitor (3440x1440) but have been playing with a 16:9 (1920x1080) resolution. I was wondering if this is a known issue with ultrawide or there is anything a could try besides what were suggested on the post (I tried all).

2. About the traffic around the Solomons, like OP on this older post - https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho....php?p=2896099 - I found the Slot to be mostly devoid of any ships besides Sampans. I have been looking closely the time dates on the Mission Editor to be sure to be on the right spot at the right time, but for most of the 2nd half of 1942 I have only encountered Sampans, it almost seems like some of the files have not been loaded into the Campaing. I was wondering if it could be a problem with my install.

2.1. I would like to try and tweak the encounters in the Solomons to add some Japanese and American Task Forces (like the enconter of Savo Island) to incorporate them on the campaing, but I have very, very limited knowledge on how to use de Mission Editor, so I would appreciate if someone could point me to a good resource on how to achieve that.

About my install, I am running Win 11, with SH4 1.5 installed from the CDs (I converted into ISOs). The following MODs were added to a fresh install with no saved games prior to them:

100_FalloftheRisingSun_Ultimate_v1.8
101_FotRSUv18_FixPak
Nihon Kaigun v1.3a_FotRSU
Nippon_Maru_v1.9b_FotRSU
Nihon Kaigum Nippon Maru Combined Roster
450_MoonlightzSonarLines
451_TMOstyle_NavMapDots
451a_TMOstyle_NavMapDots_Nippon_Maru
451b_TMOstyle_NavMapDots_Nihon_Kaigun
