Just playing my first career now that I got all the bugs worked out on my end..runs smooth.

Anyway to activate the freecam in the sub.

Right now I just loaded FORS and see some bug fixed. Mostly I want a historical, but balanced game...TMO is great, AI a little powerful. With all the mods, I can hardly finish a career.

I loaded hud mod...see no problems.

Is the AI the same as TMO 163.

I would love to see a SS of what mods people are using with this..so I'm not missiong out, beside all the ship fixes.

Hope you guys can work together. Would love to see RSRD worked in, some minor changes..just keep em coming.

Amazing graphics.

Default BIG compass

For those of you who do not want that HUGE compass, just enable TMO_HUD_FOR_163..

you know, if you keep building all these beautiful american carriers you're going to hafta add useable germans so we can have something to shoot them with


BTW, I've started testing FOTRS with several 1.4 and 1.5 stock missions and war patrols, to see what works and what crashes. I have a thread at the UBI forums (which are not loading atm) but I just finished Jeff's "Aleutians Encounter" and it works perfectly. New units show up for merchants. No new warships, however, but you have a choice of several DD's, a naka, mogami with aft carrier deck ect so not like the lack of new warships is an issue. With the new fire effects, this one was great to replay, as the convoy runs you over and you start launching torpedo you end up crippling a warship or 2 leaving a flaming fuel leak behind

I will continue sticking missions from stock in FOTRS and reporting which ones work and do not, if anyone is curious.

Default FOTRS

Now that I have DL it with all of the fixes Do I install it in SH4 1.5 as I would any other mods? I have been using FOTRS in v1.4 and have completed 10 patrols, however, before I remove v1.4 and reinstall UBM I would like to see how it is set up in your mods.
Thanks in advance

Otto

@ Linerkiller

Please tell me which resolution you play and how many ram you got on your System and Graphiccard.

FOTRS needs 2 Gigabyte Memory. Without this you cant play it.

Default Resolution change

This is a superb mod for sure- but could you please advise me how to use the tool mentioned in this quote- 'In the Support-Folder you can find an 16/9 Tool for big resolutions like 1680x1050 which should be activated if you use an widescreen monitor.'

I have opened the support folder and see the menu 1024_768 in notepad, so perhaps you could let me know how to enable the higher resolution 1680 x 1050 please?

Thanks

Default FOTRS Crashes In Vista...

I've been trying to play FOTRS where I start my campaign in Midway and while attacking various convoys the game will inadvertenly crash. Other than than the graphics - sound - ships and everything else looks awesome! The mod looks great, it took awhile to download but it seems that Vista and FOTRS just don't get along. Any suggestions? Would it be my display settings?

Hello Captains,

the next Upgrade is under construction !

My Clanmate AOTD|Rhonen is now working on the Akagi !
Here some new pictures !







An other ship is an old Wheelsteamer.
This Vessel was build by Rowi58 for LSH3 and i have reworked it for FOTRS.
Thanks Rowi for the permission to use your fantastic Steamer !







The japanese also got an new medium freighter.
I have build an bigger version from the Akita-Class.



Also the japanese got an new Plane, the Kawasaki Ki 61 Hien is an part of the upcomming Upgrade !

Hope we can finish it soon as possible !

Default too many planes

How do I get rid of the planes? (It's da plane, da plane!). I tried Webster's fewer planes mod, but da planes, da planes, are still in the air. As a result, I'm goin' down is GOIN' Down (again).

Default too damn many planes

I am heading for Trigger Maru. I would rather get killed by a destroyer than have to deal with repeated air attacks. The number of planes is unrealistic. I do like the mod and if I can decrease the number of Jap planes, I will happily return. The visuals are very good in FOTRS.
