Maybe I've just been unlucky. I'll keep trying . Is there anything I can do to increase the 'random' traffic just a little bit in this mod? I do think the vanilla game has too high levels of random encounters, but I could stand just a little more now. The occasional lone ship going from here to there, and so on. Quote:

I never noticed that fuel useage was even noticeable submerged or on the surface when stationary. I'll have to give it a try to see but it should be modeled to reflect very little use at all and that mostly for station keeping.
Anyway, check out the map that I posted- click the map for a full sized version. RSRD stays pretty faithful to the shipping routes has been my experience.

So I suppose even if surfaced and screws not turning some amount of fuel would be consumed in topping up the batteries, which would also be powering electrical equipment such as radar, lights, etc. |

On the surface the diesels would drive the generators(one per each diesel, directly connected), which could be used to supply power to the electric motors or to recharge the batteries. The electric motors(4) would drive the props through a reduction gear(1 per shaft). Underwater the power to the electric motors was naturally supplied by the batteries.

RDRD and SCAF
Lurker and Captn Scurvi,
I am running RFB1.5 and RSRD 3.95 (patched) enabled by JGSME by the BOOK as instructed on page 1 of the RFB1.5 thread. I noticed an omission in the integration of both mods, namely: The ships added by RSRD to RFB do NOT have the SCAF red aiming line in the recognition Manual as ALL the RFB ships DO have. Maybe the newly created ships were not yet "blessed" by Captn Scurvis SCAF? (maybe only a silhouette pic would do the job?) Hope this helps to finetune your marvellous mod. After reading Clay Blairs fascinating "Silent Victory" and then reading that U guys modelled the mod after it I knew that this is it! Thanks, Trebb

It fascinatiing reading all the technical know how from you chaps. The attention to detail is truly amazing but, are we trying to achieve the impossible here?
This is but a game, a simulation of what took place 60 odd years ago? The diesel engines on a sub, like in a boat/ship were running at some power, all the time, to power the generators I would imagine, so fuel was a constant drain until "finished with engines" in port; then the sub would be powered probably from shore. What has been achieved with the mods is phenomenal and you should all be highly congratulated, but it is, only a game.

RFB team,
RFB 1.5 already is SCAF enabled (at least some beta or better). My point in the above thread was that none of the ships added by RSRD (added, as is is on top in JGSME) has the red line and thus data of SCAF. My conclusion was that RSRD is the one without SCAF support. If I am correct, that would be a pity, its preventing an "universal" targetting technique...:hmm: Cheers, Trebb

It would certainly be nice to have all the ships integrated in RSRD for RFB, but maybe some element of uncertainty is good, too.

Well AKD,
I think you mix up uncertainty with inaccuracy my friend...

Questions from new guy
I'm new to playing Silent Hunter 4 v 1.5 and to this forum. I downloaded and installed the RSRDC mods per the insturctions in this thread (RSRDC_V355_for V15 and RSRDC_V355_Patch5). The Readme file indicates that there should be new missions and patrols available but when I'm in the game it appears that only the original "stock" game missions and patrols are listed. Is there a way to determine that the mods installed properly (I did use JSGME for installation and also ran the game files to snapshot task which listed the file changes from the original installation) and should the new missions and patrols show up as choices in the game? Sorry for my lack of knowledge on this. Thanks.

RSRD is an all new campaign layer. The missions are those assigned to you during the campaign.

There are new historical missions and war patrols in RSRD, as well. If these are not appearing, then something went wrong in the install process.

Did anybody notice that the Momi Class Destroyer is lacking the starboard bow wave?
Also.... Wasn't that thing officially designated as Matsu Class? |
