track with the PK. when you raise the scope for your final reading and before you take the shot, disable the PK, re-lock the solution and then fire. you will see the difference.


good luck, Herr Kaleun!!

Let me get this straight. Just before firing, I need to:
1. Disable PK
2. Get a good view of the target in choppy waves
3. Get a good range estimate of the target in said choppy waves
4. Send the range and bearing to the PK
5. Re-enable PK
6. Fire


Is that correct? Because if so, that's a lot of work to do in a very short time frame. Thanks, Ubi! Is there a mod to correct the PK to work as it did IRL?

Then rename the folder to something like RFB_RSRDC or whatever you want. Use MultiSH4 in that folder and make you new Save folder, such as RFB, and play the game. Hopefully, the tops are shooting reasonably straight... but, you might have to do it the Steam Support way.

What happened to you is that Windows 'protected' you and your computer from yourself and your silly desire to alter data in the protected Program Files folder, resulting in Windows rolling back any changes to cfg, ini, dat and other files, but allowing non-essential files to keep the changes, you don't have RFB, and you don't have stock... it might not be long, and you'll start getting CTDs...

I'm not sure I'm understanding here. Can I just create a new Steam directory in a non-protected folder and move my installation of SH4 there, then start from scratch with my careers?


What is MultiSH4?


Lastly, do you recommend playing RFB+RSDC with or without ISP?
