OTC makes many corrections that make your boats sensors as close to historical accuracy as the game allows. Traveller's mod makes a lot of little changes especially with aircraft behavior. It also allows you to do some things that were theoretically possible, such as making repairs while sitting on the bottom. TMO isn't meant to be historically accurate. It's meant to make the game very difficult, yet keeps the traffic closer to stock levels. It also makes a lot of graphic improvements. My mod soup of choice is TMO, RSRDC, and smaller mods. Testing mods can be fun in itself.

A couple of points:

1. There is no version of OTC intended for use with RFB v2.0, the current release version (released in 2009!) There is a version of OTC targeted for RFB v1.4. I don't know if OTC will play nice with RFB v2.0, but I wouldn't bet money on it.

2. I have never used Traveller's Mod, but AFAIK, there is no version of the mod compatible with RFB at all, only TMO and OM. Again, it might work, but ....

fireftr18, you may be savvy enough to make these mods work together. (If so, would you please post your results and any changes you had to make to get them to them work together?) But I think noobs should be warned that these are mods which were never intended to work together and that there might be problems.

BigWalleye, good post. Thanks for adding the info. I didn't like RFB, so when I looked for OTC and Traveller's mod, it wasn't a consideration. I didn't notice there was not version of either for RFB. I agree with you we need to warn nubies about known mod issues.
