You're running the mission pack for TMO, but not TMO itself? How does that work?

I think your problem with planes is that, despite having one TMO add-on, you're basically running the stock game. I would consider that a problem right there.

Also, OM is strictly for Atlantic operations in u-boats. It doesn't hurt anything Pacific-related that I know of, but there's not much sense in having it. On the other hand, if you're going to have an Atlantic campaign as well, you should probably have a separate installation and use MultiSH4. That way you can have all the OM-related stuff and German voices as well.

probably these mods got left behind when I took TMO 2.5 off. I had been having problems with day turning to night after a save and resume, so tried different things, following other folks suggestions - and I was also playing U-boats, so maybe that's how the OM got on there. People have mentioned the MultiSH4 before (and I would prefer to have the German voices) but I did not follow through on that, maybe... seems likely that I will start a new career when I get back ( sigh) and then put TMO on again and compatible mods - can I still have the MultiSH4 option as well?

I had this problem yesterday. I'm based in Fremantle at the moment and they tell me to sail to the Aleutians....I had probably 150 air radar contacts round trip from Fremantle through the South China Sea, Up by Japan, and down the Aleutian island chain. Then, I sailed towards the Solomons and after Refueling at Midway, I got back to Fremantle. I was diving to Periscope depth constantly. It got very annoying.

ah, not just me then... I have now uninstalled SH4 meaning to start again with TMO 2.5, and now, wouldn't you know it, my DVD drive has turned its toes up, so I will have to wait until I get another as all our spares are IDE
(sobs).... unless I got a download... hmm, wonder how much they are..

I'm running TMO 2.5 with RSDRC. It is great. But when the icon pops up that shows an enemy airbase. Avoid the area. Like I said, I probably had 150 Radar Contacts round trip.

Planes can be a pain even with RSRD, moreso in areas where campaigns are taking place. Mid to late 42 they're so many planes in the Solomons it can drive you nuts as he has many air raids. However, the majority of ship traffic comes through at night anyway, so I just dive until night.

I do that too. I get sick of the planes and just do daytime at periscope depth or 100 feet. Depends where I am patrolling. Every once in a while, I'll get 2 or 3 radar contacts at night and none of them can see me. The contacts have gone right over me and missed me.

Can't vouch for the quality of the game as I keep having dickery issues with registration and the like. Think it has to do with the anti-virus stuff I've got in place, so I'm going to give it another go today at some point.

thank you DC - could be useful, but my new drive came today, so might favour that as the first option

Is there any trick to being 'registered with this forum' for downloading the airplane mod? Filefront doesn't have that particular mod, and this site won't let me download due to not being registered.

I'd really love this mod. WAY too many airplanes, so making them appear less frequently but upping their skill level would be awesome.

the mission pack for TMO+RSRDC has ships in it that are added by TMO+RSRDC so she will get a CTD anytime the mission calls for one of these "missing" ships (sometimes thats half way thru a mission)

the tambor 198's stock game mission pack is the same missions where just the TMO+RSRDC added ships were replaced with ships found in the stock game so the missions would be essentially the same or close to it but there would be no CTD issues because of the missing ships.

i highly recommend tambor 198's missions for being well made and very challenging for those who dont always have time for career play
