That's a really nice looking Corsair!

I have just played the German version of FOTRS and I am very, very impressed. If Sh4 had been like this in the first place, I would've been very happy.

Looking forward to downloading the English version soon.

Great job team

Uh, I don't speak or read German either, but if you know the game well enough then it's still very playable. The voices are in English, so you'll know you've hit the right switch atleast .

This 'Compilation of Mods' as they call FOTRS, is about as close as I'm gonna get to how I wanted SH4 to be in the first place. I hope one of the Devs gives it a try so they can see what's expected for SH5.

I'd like to see those fab new planes (see above) in the Campaign occasonally. As far as I'm concerned there should only have ever been a Sub School, Career Mode and that's it! No Single Missions or anything else. If you wanna see what it's like to be involved in the Battle for Midway, then you better be in that area during the campaign.

Ok i think i will DL the German version and try it.

Hitman gave advice once about the menu.txt with the spanish SH4 Atlantic campaign mod i had installed. By copying the english menu.txt file to a safe place on your HDD before installing the mod then replacing it back after the install would enable the menus to be in english, this helped for me. This could work with this mod.:hmm: As i presume the menus will be in German? Either way i think i will still try this mod out now

EDIT: copied the menu.txt over and now have english menus, was wondering for us english speaking simmmers who have downloaded the German version when the English version comes out would all we have to do is copying the messages.txt file into our German DL version to fix. Instead of redownloading it?

Attention AOTD Team! Have you seen this:

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=140148 ?

Surely this should be included in your FOTRS package?

Downloaded FOTRS yesterday: just couldn't wait for the "English" version.

Ausgezeichnet!

Excellent!

Great title as well!

Although I can speak German, I should think that the German menu will present few problems to those that are keen to try out this excellent compilation of mods: the crews speak English, voice overs are in English and the written orders are in English, though the text of what the crew says is in German. In any case, I do not see why a written text of the crew dialogues is necessary for English native speakers or for those many people who are fluent in my mother tongue: I always find such texts to be as irritating as subtitles.

I have only one tiny criticism from what I've seen so far: although one is given a choice between metric and imperial units as in SH4 1.4, the time/speed/distance conversion thingummyjig (forget what it's called) on the main chart is in minutes/knots/metres.

An outstanding piece of work and my congratulations to all modders concerned and those involved in the development of "Fall of the Rising Sun".

Mad_Max.

The weird shading on the tail of the corsair is because the vertex normals are not the same as the other polygons. (usually numbered in the wrong direction).

If your 3D modeling program has a utility that can fix this automatically (most do), running it will fix that issue.

BTW, posted some example shots of a nice Corsair skin you can have at the other modding forum. Drop in and see if you want a copy.

To AOTD_MadMax:

Looking good! I mean Good God man, with all your talents, my eyes are going crazy! Your work is really mind blowing!I'm almost boiling with excitement! Erm... well, I guess that it explains it all... I have pneumonia!

I'm just wondering if both Nakajima Ki 44's are going to be in FOTRS. I guess what I'm trying to say is: Is both the 40mm and the 12.7mm versions going to be in the mod?

Keep cracking on those mods, your doing fantastic!!

[Dogzero1]

Any news on the English version yet guys?
