If your looking for the U-Boat Missions Add-on (as a download) I'm pretty sure it can be found......just do a Google search. You'll have to repurchase it, but that's up to you. For my money, buy the DVD Gold Edition!! A disk in hand is worth 2 downloads in the bush.

Your RFB 1.52 only works with version 1.5. If your SH4 game is v1.4....it won't be compatible. Another reason to move up to v1.5.

Believe me, I have spent days searching for a download of 1.5 and cannot find one. I have taken you advice and bought the Gold. I just have to wait for it to get here.

Amazon was the first place I checked a few days ago. At that time it said it was not available. I have order the Gold so that I have it in a non-download version. Thanks.

I think that's your best alternative. I have version 1.0 on DVD; after finally deciding to "purchase" the v1.5 patch (I'm just not interested with the Nazi's in the Pacific) through a download site several years ago, I got tired of messing with them. I bought the DVD Gold Edition last year, it came in three days. It's been a good choice!

While your waiting on the package to arrive.....might as well clear out your computer of any remnants of your old install. Get rid of your older saved game points....it would be best to start new again.

You can use your RFB 1.52 mod, or try the latest version of RFB 2.0 (also use its 23 April 2010 patch for RFB 2.0). Although, if your going to learn manual targeting I'd stick with the 1.52 version. It's got my Ship Centered, Accuracy Fix (SCAF) mod in it for a more accurate manual targeting experience. SCAF isn't in the later edition......LukeFF thought it was too accurate!!

I received and installed the Gold version then added RFB 2 and it's update and all my previous problems seem to be fixed. However, now when I change the game settings in the options and select apply/save as soon as I go back to the game the all change to max reality. Is that a function of RFB 2? I didn't play the game before I installed RFB 2 but I did start it and change some of the setting and save them. After I installed RFB 2 I started the game and checked the settings and they were as I set them previously but as soon as I start a campaign they all change to max (all the boxes checked). I even when into the all the config files in My Docs SH4 and change all the games setting from true to false but as soon as I go back to the campaign they all change to max. I don't know how this happens.

There are three different "option" menu's within the game (may be more with the multiplayer?!).

The first is found on the main menu screen, under "Options".....you probably found that one!

The second is found within the "Quick Missions" menu....where you select one of the games missions to play. This is where it gets tricky, the options are found under the "Realism" heading.....along the bottom of the Missions page.

The third is found in the Captain's office, after you've started a "Career Campaign". This option's page is found on the left bookcase shelf by clicking the old time radio. This is the one you'll want make sure to use if playing a Campaign game. All three do the same thing, but no single one will work for the different ways to play the game.

That's the ticket! Thanks. It had been so long since I started a new campaign that I had forgotten about setting the options from the campaign office. I have a small favor to ask. RFB 2 is really good. The only other mod I have added is the merchant skin pack. There are tons of mods on your website. Which ones would you recommend to enhance the game experience?

Thanks,
Alan
