This mod is so basiclly essential, i've started taking it for granted

Thanks guys I will give those mods a try, I will reinstall the game with 1.3 patch and load mods in. I will look for the dive times and battery mods too.

As Ducimus stated and not to mention the fact that his large mod pack is getting praises from everyone!!!!

Have fun!

Thanks guys....

Somewhere out there is a realistic battery mod, as stock batts drain way too fast, and im pretty sure there has to be a dive times mod too. I can't be the only one who's ever changed this. In stock, boats take about 1min and 10 seconds to dive. Historically a 40 second dive time was the BARE minium, but a 35 second dive time is what was strived for, so the dive times are waaaaaaaay off in stock.

Has any one seen these, or know were I can find them.

Its just my assumption, i know CCIP had one , but i dont recall if he updated it for patch 1.3 or not. I got some PMs asking me before, but i totally forgot about them. These items are EASILY fixed, so my assumption is theres a 1.3 compatible mod on them somewhere. Realistically, to save yourself alot of "legwork" you probably are better off D/Ling Trigger Maru 1.5. The AI in it however is adjusted to be a little harder then stock. So IF you D/L that modpack, delete the AI_sensors.dat and sim.cfg from the mod, and play it with stock AI for awhile. That said, the AI in TM 1.5 isn't THAT much harder then stock, at least i don't think so.

You realy should get JSGME First, use this tool to install mods mentioned above. it also removes mods with a click of a mouse

Snuffy · 08-13-07, 03:43 PM

I'm playing a slightly chocolate coated version of the vanilla sim. I've only added a few mods, (green button, reduced radio contact, to name a couple) and have not added 1.3 patch yet cuz I want to finish my current career as it is.

When that's over, I plan on installing TM 1.X and patch 1.3 to see if I'm really any good.

I was thinking that someone needs to point him in the direction of JSGME :hmm:

I think that should be mentioned nearly everytime someone says 'hey what mods should I get "?

Reinhard Hardegen · 08-13-07, 05:36 PM
