Totally agree

A bigger compass (like the one below) would make a handy addition..
And oil skins for the bridge crew too..

I partly agree. That compass is actually taken from an older mod that removes everything from the screen unless you pass the cursor over it, and the original had all three dials do that:

It's not really a must-have, but something like that would be nice.

Sorry to interrupt again but I am still getting crashes in Museum after applying the patch. This is very frustrating! I'd happily spend more time on Monsun if only it was more stable on my setup. Any other ideas about what's wrong?

Don't go there.

IIRC the OM docs state that the museum will die. I've read a few have good luck with the memory patch for windows. Its in the library, under game patches.

Unpatched my SH4.exe crashes in OM every time and often when starting patrol from inside harbour. Both issues are warned against by Lurker.
The patched SH4.exe never crashes under any circumstances...

Using Win 7 64-bit, 6 GB RAM, 5970, non-OC.

Sorry for the OT...

For the guys working on the radio mod, I uploaded the Sh3Gen Standing Orders. If you're interested that is.

link

These operational orders were made from Hans Abbadons Aotd U-Boaters Guide, with additional research by Brad Golding, he put a lot of work in this.

Every file in the subfolders conatins a single operational order, german and english versions, with year and date. It may be a bit of work to copy the text, but doable. I don't know if I will find time to put them into a flat file.

Of course you have my "permission" to use them

Credits should go to Hans Abbadon (original version), Brad Golding (Sh3Gen updated version), and Georg Unterberg (german translator).

RE museum crash:
Three guesses:

1.) The game is trying to instantiate two objects that have the same node ID's.
2.) A ship is missing a rec manual page.
3.) Risidual/empty directory left over from a previous mod installation.

No kiddin, the rec manual will do that ? Will it also crash the museum if a page exists in the manual for a ship but the ship doesn't exist ?
