[REL] Operation Monsun

[themrwho]

I am back to OM after a long 'vacation' (1+ year), last time I checked we were on page 112 or so in this thread, now there is about another hundred pages of posts in this thread.

The list below is what I am installing in the background. Is there any other recommended mods that would play nicely with the setup below?

Please let me know as I would love to get it as good as possible and just dive in without further mod adjustments.

Thanks in advance for any inputs...

My Planned Installation:

SH4+UBM
OM v705
OM v720
OM v720 Patch 5
OMEGU v300
OMEGU v300 Patch 7

I have been playing with manual targeting in the past (last year) but apparently I forgot almost all of it and need to start from scratch. I cannot find the same resources I have found earlier.

Can anyone help? Do you have any local files that you could upload to a free file hosting? Or any URLs?

Thanks!

Unlike SH3, you cannot "purchase" newer U-Boats with your renown, you can only be offered command of newer ones. This is something that is hard-coded into the SH4 game engine and cannot be changed (along with English-speaking U-boat crewman, there is nothing you can do to change that to German, as it is also hard-coded). If you have any other questions, feel free to ask on this thread or post a new thread under the Silent Hunter 4 Threads.
Wilkommen an Bord!

My U-boat crew speaks German in SH4/UBM/OM, so it must be possible for you to have German speaking crew too...

Go to folder MODS in SH4 installation folder, then OMEGUv300 and after in Support folder, where you'll find OM Readme files, and the useful KIUB User Guide. Hoping this solves your problems....

I read that already I don't think it is a good one at all. Text is not clear, neither are the screenshots/example data.

So I am looking for a good guide, video or text...

[gianluca62]

Strange you found it useless... I didn't know nothing about AOBF, but reading that guide I perfectly understood the concept, and started to sunk ships with great enjoyment!

[themrwho]

I managed sinking ships again using RR's "Dick O'Kane" method, but only from 900-1000 meters. I was able to sink from 3-4 km's using OLCGUI in the past, I am still trying to get back to that level.

If you say the guide is good, perhaps it is - I will have another go at it and post the specific part I don't get, maybe someone will clarify it for me.

EDIT - finally hitting at distance... for me the most satisfactory moment of subsim experience is the moment a manually targeted torpedo explodes at 2km+ distance

[themrwho]

Is there a way to export the recognition manual data as TXT/PDF so that I can use CTRL+F to find the ship I am looking for.

It is taking ages to flip through pages, large convoys with many ships in stormy weather is killing me.

if running OMEGU simply lock onto target and hit the target ID button.The name of the ship will appear at bottom of the scope, click on it, then open the rec manual, it will have the ship there.

Playing SH4 for a long time, never knew this. Thanks you saved me a lot of time with this tip.

No problem, I played OM for about a week before I noticed and had to lol at myself.
