Umm I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I cant even select the boat in career mode because it isn't even on the menu. I have JSGME, but I have no idea how to work that. I've looked through the threads, and I found no help.

Don't feel bad I've been having problems myself but I think I've got mine half fixed for now.Just curious, what mods are you installing and are you doing it manually(moving and overwriting files)?You might be missing a mod you needed to make this work.I have had been having problems with JSGME not installing files correctly even though it's installed in a different directory than C:/ProgramFiles so it hasn't been too reliable for me with big mods.But if you want to know how to set it up I can walk you through that easy.Just in case you didn't know you need the blackwolf(necessary) and titan super fortress (you don't need it but if selected will cause CTD) files as a base to make it all work.Good luck.Mass destruction awaits.

I tried using JSGME and when that didn't work, I did it the old fashion way....drag and drop. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, because when I got to start a campaign, only the stock boats are available. The only mod i'm running is RSRD.

It sounds like your career files aren't working for some reason.The order I used was FOTRS mod then blackwolf,titan,shark,shark 1,shark 2,career files.You might make sure that you are using the right career files for RSRD and check
Data\UPCData\UPCCampaignData flotilla/careerstart files with notepad and see if the ships are listed there.If they are there you should be working.If that doesn't work you might have a corrupted install and you would have to uninstall/reinstall everything.Hopefully you won't have to go that far.Hope this helps.

Hmm, you could try just using the FOTRS fix for the campaign and not installing the original files. I believe I put both files into the fix needed for campaign.

The problem may be that you're only running RSRDC, I don't think I ever downloaded the mod for the stock version of the game. I'll do that and see what I can find.

Well first off you need the regular Shark if you want to use the Shark X2. There are some files that all three versions use and they're with the regular shark file.

Second you need to make sure that the unitspart18Sharkx2.upc file is in order with the other unitspart upc files. So if the other ships stopped at #10 you'd need to have the original shark be #11 and then the Shark X2 be #12. That should fix the conning tower problem.

As for the special orders button, I didn't touch that so I don't know why it doesn't work.
