Default Sound contacts while surfaced

Hi everyone,

I know this has been an issue from day one when SH4 came out.
The patches that have been released did'nt solve this.
But some mod's did, like Trigger_Maru.

I've played a while with TM but then i got curious for RFB so i've changed to that now. (along with RSRD)
One of the things i noticed is that sound contacts while surfaced are back.
I thought RFB was a mod which is historically very corect, isn't it?
So now i am wondering why this mod doesn't do anything about these sound contacts?
Does this have a reason?

Thanks already!
fvd

Historically the sonar could detect sound while surfaced. In the game, it is just waaaayyyyyy to good. Normally for the super sonic head to hear sound, the boat had to be at very slow turns or completely stopped. RFB has addressed this but is not out for release as yet but is coming . The modders are working in all sorts of goodies and testing is taking place in the back field.

Anyway, I will not tell you what they have done to rectify the all hearing, hearing aid but the after math of what was done forces you to slow down so it you can hear while surfaced. It is not the perfect solution but IMHO feel it is the best solution with what the modders had to work with concerning the sonar while surfaced.

LukeFF is on the case concerning the sonar!

Stay tuned

Theres a "team working on RFB now instead of just one person?

Sweet!

I hope they ratchet up the bar, so people will go use RFB instead of TM, so im no longer inundated with questions every time i visit the forum. Obscurity, how i long for thee!

edit:
psst, AVG uses RFB i think. Kind of a hint!

Yes, there is a team going at it. Contains a lot of new things and some great ideas they are working on now. Definitely working on making it as historical as possible and what the game will allow. I say no more as this is their show and I just test or locate information on things for them

Glad i retired from TM then. "teams" are inheirantly compedative, and i just dont want to go down that busy street again. Ill just give them lip service, and get the hell out of the way instead. :rotfl:

I use RFB. Duci was out of the gate first and getting rave review with TM and still is. Beery started RFB and moved on to something else. SWDW approached Beery and asked to pick up were he left off. He got the go ahead. In the spirit of supporting a new member and continuation of modding SH4, I loaded up RFB and have been using it since then. More modders the merrier! All in all, both are great and strive for two different types of play. Makes players happy to have a choice also.
