[REL] Real Fleet Boat 2.0

I have a few RFB questions

1. During dives to avoid planes or escorts you are supposed to move deck watch to Con and Hoggans alley. Fine, but you have to move all watches. I cannot keep track of which watch I'm in with time compreesion etc to do otherwise. So I guess I only do this if I expect actual aircraft attack or depth charging before I move crew to internal compartments. Can you move while submerged with crew in watch slots? Edit: I found more info on page 13 of downloaded manual

2. Are cruise speeds different from stock game? In a Gar Class sub i get 3 knots at 1/3 speed and 7 knots at 2/3 speed. 7 knots seems to give me a decent fuel consumption rate. Any comments?

3. What's with the map? I guess as you change zoom you get more detailed water depth indication.

As you can guess I haven't been playing this mod much. House sitting one place, PC with game in my condo.

Thanks in advance.

Ahead Standard gives the best balance of range and speed and is listed for each sub class in the manual.

One thing I have forgotten to say many times

already:

The boats still have the wrong 3 blades propellers, the correct 4 blade ones somebody created long ago (Can't remember who right now

) should be added in a future version

I think it was captain america who made the prop mod.I know before ducimus included the 4 blade props for gato, balao and tench I simply enabled the mod after TMO.Prob work same for RFB.

EDIT: OOooooops; Egg on my face lol....I haven't used the optional telegraph because of the fact the last RFB did 10 knots @ standard & I just clicked it again only to realize, the answer to my question had already been viewed by me earlier & I just didn't fully digest what I was looking at. Dum- dee-dum-dum- DUMB!

......Sorry for the post

Aside from forgetting about the naughty meter opposite the telegraph in my last post; I'm having some CTD issues when I enable the april 23 patch. RFB 2.0 runs fine with no CTD's & I'm about to test it with RSRDC & it's patch without the RFB april patch to see what happens.

Here's my "info" -

Windows XP 32 bit
GTX 260
FX-60 cpu
2 gigs of memory
fresh Safe Boot defrag
Newest Nvidia driver with a driver cleaner used between the old & new
Registry tool has been run
Spyware check done with several different tools
Patch downloaded twice to insure it wasn't corrupted

Software installed & enabled in this order

Clean install of SH4 up to 1.5 U-boat add on
JSGME (latest)
RFB 2.0
RFB April patch
RSRDC v5
RSRDC v5 patch 1

I've been using a Gar out of Pearl in '41 & the CTD's have been relatively random as to their locations on the map but always rather quickly after I leave port; I have yet to actually complete a mission in my tests. I have used TC & the exterior camera prior to the crashes as well.

Anyone got any recommendations for me to try to solve this issue?

Edit: HHHmmmmm, maybe I didn't let the Vanilla install & RFB 2.0 run long enough as a stand alone. It crashed without the april 23 patch, with just RFB, RSRDC & it's patch. It ran longer but it still CTD'd

Brenjen · 06-21-10, 09:17 PM

Disregard; might have been a heat issue......not that anyone cared lol

Sad to see most people with exp leaving SH4 & being soured by SH5 - this place used to be jumping pretty good. Maybe happy days will come again

Oh yeah, I'm enjoying the mod RFB combined with RSRDC is all I've played for so long the vanilla version confuses me now

Is there a reason that I have no guns at all on any boats with RFB 2.07?

First, at the gun station, you must click a HE round to load it.
Then the reloads are automatic.

There are no guns at all... as in I can't even get to the gunnery station.

No AA gun, no deck gun.
