Looks and runs great!

Although, I just sunk a 10 000 t tanker that would not register on sonar in a 1943 Gato. It had a deck gun that didn't fire at me and there was no sound of it sinking and breaking-up on sonar either, which was always a nice touch. The circular radar grid looks great but is a bit intrusive when the radar blips are so small.

Was this disabled in 2.0? i know i was able to allow map contact updates on 1.5

Only briefly tried one of the "Single Missions". I liked "Historical" better, but oh well. I liked the tweaked interiors that I saw (1942 Gato: extra lights on the Sonar panel, and around the control room).

Wanted to ask a question. I enabled a couple of mods which were compatable with the last version. I don't seem to see any problems (Yet) since I don't think these mods conflicted with anything added in 2.0. I may be wrong, so if Luke or anyone else feels there may be a problem, please say so. The mods are: Keldunks tweaks, which included exhaust smoke, and less Limber Hole water streams. Arclight's color filter for the Obs. scope., and the EAX sound mod (forget who the author is). Like I said, I'm useing the versions which were compatable with the previous version of RFB.

Also wanted to say I love the new wind sound. I wish someone could fix the problem with the "sound duration". I hate the way sounds, particularly thunder, cuts off abruptly

Looks terrif; wasn't quite ready for no map contacts, but adjusted quickly and managed to sink a large old merchie no problem at all. Not sure how hard it's going to be tracking and sinking at night, though.

Ditto the issue already noted on the small radar blips. Would not the radar operator be able to give bearing and range if asked?

No map contacts, 2.0 is coming out of my install. Guess I'll stick with 1.5

Downloading 2.0 again, thanks for the hard work and quick fix guys.

As far as no map contacts, well i will try it, will be pain not being able to have a "display" for air contacts but will manage.

Perhaps someone out there could whip up a mod for RFB 2.0 that brings back map contacts but in the fashion of TMO, the small black dots instead of the stock style silhouettes.Just a thought.
