I've been sleuthing through RSRD vs TMO files to find the infamous evil planes of Ducimus and believe I have located and restored them.

I have not located and restored the frequency of air attacks, just the ability to spot your sub below the surface and drop love gifts on your unsuspecting carcass.

Testing now.....

Awesome

Hopefully you can get the frequency back. I get the right amount of air patrols in some places in RSRD then some are lacking.I 've had to add them as lurker did in certain areas like Luzon Straits, it works well but I miss the challenge of TMo aircraft.RSRD planes dont attack you below surface and are rarely accurate with their bombs.

If you figured out the problem you really should load up the fix.

Will do Admiral! I'm taking out my frustration from burning up 3/4 tank of fuel (early 1942) and having less than 10k tons to show for it by doing a noob raid on Rabaul harbor. Bagged two toothless minesweepers outside and three victims inside so far and quit for the night in the middle of the action. See, I tell the truth when I say I pay no attention whatever to what situation I save the game in!

I'll have to load up a mission tomorrow to verify Duci's evil planes are back for real. Then I'll upload a patch to restore RSRD to TMO airplane aggressiveness and bombing submerged subs. That way players have full options to play exactly how they want.

Hey! I'm plenty tired of typing on this tablet keyboard. Good-night y'all!

Looking forward to that

I figured all you would find outside of Rabul would be minesweepers.(I tend to stay away when the Type A, B, C and D escorts show up later in the war.)

bandit484 · 08-23-13, 04:16 PM

Good to see you back Rocking Robin ! It has been awhile since I seen you post something.

Rockin Robbins · 08-23-13, 08:12 PM

It appears that Ducimus' Evil Planes that bomb you at periscope depth are back! Testing reveals that they don't always spot you at periscope depth. But when they do they bomb the crap out of you, accurately enough to make you cry for your mommy!

The sensor nodes for RSRD are not the same as they are for TMO. What I did was take Lurker's Air2 sensors and set same as Duci's Air MAD sensor, which was the only one modified for underwater view. And it seems to have worked. I made up a mission (De Plane! De Plane! Mission) which I will post. It makes planes pass in waves of two over your sub. I dare you just to raise the periscope. They'll bomb you anyway but you're definitely dead if you poke up the periscope.

Running with periscope up in RSRD while planes fly overhead is as close to safe as walking in the mall as war permits. With my change, it's pure death.

I'll be issuing this as a separate mod, not a modified version of RSRD. Then all you have to do is load it on top of RSRD if you want it. Merely unload it to return to RSRD as Lurker intended.

Modular modding! Who else would think of such an idea? I tried to sell the SH4 modders on the idea in 2009 and was slapped down like a puppy who just got caught peeing on the rug. This is a hybrid of Webster's original lotsa little mods strategy and the supermod strategy. I think that starting with the supermod and layering compatible modular units on top is going to work really well.

Stand by for mods!

WOO! Now when ever a plane shows up on radar I know that diving to 165ft is the right thing to do.

Or deeper! They theoretically could see you at 165ft. Just something to think about.

Rockin Robbins · 08-24-13, 01:08 PM

According to Ducimus, you're kinda safe at any depth greater than 90. At least we haven't lost any captains in the last week that were deeper than 90'. It's virtually safe, I PROMISE!!

Virtually safe or double your money back! What a deal!

McBlemmen · 10-17-13, 05:25 PM

Is the U-Boot missions expantion required? I keep getting file not found errors when trying to install this (or RFB for that matter) and i cant seem to figure out what the problem is. Only thing i can think of is maybe the requirement for the expantion pack. I'll buy it if i have to but before i spend money i wanna know for sure if this is the problem or not. (Ive already tried reinstalling)

If you are getting file errors and you have v 1.4, then it is a good chance of why you are getting file errors.

Did you read the information on post #1 of this thread?

Yes, U-Boot missions expansion is required. Post #1 of this thead says. "Trigger Maru Overhauled 2.5 is available only for SH4 1.5" 1.5 is uboat missions expansion. What is RFB requirements on its' webpage?

Buy the uboat expansion pack through Amazon banner on top right side of subsim webpage. No extra cost to you, but benefits subsim.

It's only necessary, if you want a decent game. ;-)

Kidding aside, you do need it. Most of the mods require it.

I don't understand why the earlier versions are even sold anymore. Almost seems like a defective product.

McBlemmen · 10-21-13, 10:37 AM

Thank you , and sorry. I did not realise "1.5" meant you had the expantion pack. I play it trough steam and assumed my game had been patched to the most up to date version regardless of what DLC i had. It all works fine now, again , thanks. (I bought the DLC)

On a side note , i have a question about range and fuel efficiency.
In the guide PFD file , it clearly states "ahaid standard" is the most fuel efficient way of travel , so i've been using it for the past few days. How ever , after rebasing to pearl (started at asiatic fleet) i find mysellf almost at half fuel before i even get to my first patrol area. Doing some in-game testing with the "max range at current speed" function , i find mysellf having almost TWICE the range at 2/3's speed then at standard (according to the in-game guy anyway).

Is the "max range at current speed" feature broken , or is the PDF guide wrong?

PS : I dont knof if it matters , but i'm in the USS Nautillus , Narwhal class submarine. (2 deck guns ahoy)
