It does. I use it all the time.

I was wondering about two things:

First, the DD's still seem to pitch and roll a bit much.

Second: inertia and drift. I find that it takes a lot more mucking about with the engines to get my sub to stop moving. That, and stationary objects (targets) now drift along with the waves.

Fog patch: post updated with new contact info.

I decided to uninstall / reinstall RFB ect.. I started a new campaign, same date, sub, and port. I set course for Midway to top off my fuel befor heading off to my assigned patrol area (East China Sea). I time compressed for a 24hr period after leaving Pearl. I saved the game, and successfully reloaded the save. Hopefully all is good now.

I just discovered that RSRD has its own sensors file, which will overwrite the RFB one

Wonder how many people here who reported problems with fog have also RSRD installed

There is still one oddity that I'm seeing since the advent of 2.0. My ship smoke renders as "puffs" instead of a steady stream. I'm useing Keldunk's RFB tweaks, which was for the previous version of RFB. This mod just adds / improves sub exaust smoke, and improves the look and duration of flood vent water streams. I'm wondering if this could be the cause

And just what is the evil RSRDC begin accused of breaking and where is your documented proof?

I wouldn't say evil.... I do employ the latex RSRDC including the patch... and the visual detection of the AI crew is a bit off the actual visual range for the player. Basically the AI detects targets way before the player is actually able to see even smoke on the horizon.

I'm currently at work and when I get home we will find out who is breaking what and find out if Hitmans claim is valid

Hold up. Let's just nip this in the bud before it goes any further.

I took a look at the sensors.dat file that comes with RSRD. It seems to be concerned with German U-Boat equipment. Here is a screenshot.



As you can see, this has no relation to US fleetboats. I'm not quite sure what this is doing in RSRD but I am sure Lurker has a good reason for it being there. This file does not affect fleetboats.

The files that affect fleetboat sensors are all called 'Sensors_sub_US'.
RSRD makes no changes to the 'Sensors_sub_US' files.

Looking at the files included in RSRD leads me to believe that RSRD is not responsible for any shortcomings in the visual detection model in RFB.

Just to add to my point, I am seeing this behavior running just RFB on its own.

I thought if a mod was made to be compatable, all should be OK. Hence the different versions of RSRD.
