is the inertia of ships, vessels, etc in water fixed or rather adjusted to reflect real time acceleration and "coasting" or drifting effects ? as in if i fire a torpedo at say a destroyer trudging along at 6 knots and then if it spots the torpedo or hears it. it shoots from 6 knots to 33 knots. is this addressed in this mod ?

To my knowledge no other MODS have been tested as compatible with FOTRSU.

As for add-in mods, none are recommended at this time. We do have add-in mods on standby status, waiting for us to finalize the "mix" of the base mod. There are plot mods, dial mods, map mods, etc., along with several others that shouldn't be too far behind the "final product". At this point in time, with all of the changes that have been instituted in FotRSU, most other mods are NOT compatible. If you have a favorite that you would like to see converted for FotRSU, give us a shout, and we'll do our level-best to make it so, or let you know that it can't happen. |

Will there be any Environmental Mods adjusted to use with FOTRSU or changes within FOTRSU governing Fog, Storms and Ship movements during storms?

Not bad news... First of all, did you use a fresh SH4 install and an empty Save folder (My Documents \ SH4)? Secondly, what boat did you use for departure? Third of all, what was your mission assignment. Fourth, and most importantly - How are you leaving Pearl Harbor on September 12th... boo-ah-ha-ha! Sorry, bad US joke... You are referring to the ninth day of December, correct (I hope)? No added mods? Thanks.

As for environmental mods, the original FOTRS environment is still there. though there might be some minimal changes to it. We have an altered weather "patterns" for the Aleutian missions, if you ever want to go up there - oh wait! you ~will~ go up there, at least twice, if you're based at Pearl or Midway, since they now do the Polar Circuit also... but yes, we added some weather changes in on certain missions, not the whole game. The frequency of storms and fog are increased for the Aleutians. |

ok thanks guys. i played a little earlier today and seem very satisfied with whats been done so far. you guys are doing a great job!
im pretty sure ive asked this before somewhere but where are the refuel ports at and are there any resupply vessels during the years and is there a list we could possibly have in the read me file of these? i know from years and years of playing this SH its always been an issue of running out of fuel and having to be very fuel mindful and learning. thanks |

or is it possible to make a drop down or list in game like the chronometers? something to just grab and check dates and names of ports corresponding to the in game time frame of when these ports will be available ?

I've been wanting to do something along those lines drakkhen20, but haven't started. I made one slide-out a while back, but need a ~LOT~ of practice with noodling with that stuff. The menu_1024_768.ini is scary to work with. I was also consulting with aanker a while back about trying to implement a sun / moon "almanac" page somehow, hence my interest in Front Runner's Base Time 2018 thread. I know the game can do a reasonable job of tracking the sun and moon, though it can be knocked out of whack entirely too easily. The game's main problem is the "cylindrical" world, of course. They can be close enough to allow a skipper to decide about whether to do an attack now, or later. I have no interest in "real navigation" though.
As for the "re-fuel" ports, any place you see an anchor denoting an Allied base, is a location that can be used to re-fuel / re-fit. I might add-in a couple more "historical" locations for the retreat from the Philippines, such as Balikpapan, but they won't be around for long. Exmouth Gulf and Darwin can be used during certain periods, but advance bases were few and far between from the beginning of 1942 to the end of 1944. More changes are due for along the Aleutians chain, due to a recent research find that will allow me to change a base location up North... The thing about a "list" is that at the time of retreat, no one knew from day to day, what was still an active base, what was being abandoned, and what had been overrun. At the other end of it, as an Advance Base opens, there will be the NavMap Anchor indicator showing up, and for some of those, there is a "radio" message sent out, but not a "high-priority" one that interrupts the game. |

Excellent zeus, but had you cleared the Save game folder. v0.80 is not compatible with v0.71, nor with stock or any other mod. The Save folder should be cleared prior to activating FotRSU. Also, very few other mods are compatible with it, so it should be the only mod in use... Are you set-up like that?? Thank you.
