Wonderful! Thank you both! The TDC is what did it.

The only problem being, after mining the ordered region, my objective never updated, I can't win eh?

As Sergei wrote!

Here's a few screens of what I have in my install. I've nabbed a few ideas from RFB and a few other things - though I can't remember exactly what I've done, so apologies if any one spots something of theirs.

First off, tags for places in the Baltic, including the Gulf's of Bothnia, Finland and Riga. You'll also spot Captain America's HUD mod for TMO which I've bodged to fit the RFB style:

Western Baltic;


Southern Baltic;


Gulf of Bothnia;


Gulf of Finland;


Crew screens, featuring Russian names - the crew images I found on the Sukhoi.ru forum before it went down, so credit to the creators Rotten, Dan46-BC-. I also fiddled with the equipment layout in the UPC files;







Now some beauty shots;











The skin on the Shchuka is something I cooked up after seeing a profile of a later version in that colour. It may be a Northern Fleet variation as the profile had a 4XX series number.

Edit: I don't currently have any plans to release this, certainly not without the permission of the people who's files I've used.

Mike.

Good stuff MGR1.
Looks like you are using an environment mod. Looks real pretty!
Which one is it?

[MGR1]

Hi Serg,

It's a mixture of Real Enviroment, Enviromental 5 plus the scene file which Hitman uploaded for the RFB mod a few days back, plus the enviroment files from Lurker's OMEGU mod, so a real mix!

Best to use would be Enviromental 5 and drop in Lurkers enviroment files - they should give you a similar colour set.

Mike.

The minelaying missions are actually set up as part of a patrol mission.
So after you have deployed your mines you still have to remain within a certain radius of the mission icon for a certain amount of time before the objective is completed.

I had the same problem when I took the minelayer out first time. I assumed that laying the mines would complete the objective. This didn't happen, so I investigated by opening the mission into the mission editor. It looked like due to limitations in the game, the BFB team could not set up the mission so that laying the mines completed the objective. So it is actually an altered patrol mission, with the added purpose of laying mines.

The mission radius and time are in the original mission orders you got.
The mission radius can be anywhere from 5 to 50 km, and mission time anywhere from 5 hours to a couple of days.

If you cannot remember what your mission parameters were, then err on the side of caution. Stay within 5km for a few days. You should eventually get mission complete, and a new objective.

The next time I took the sub out, I paid much closer attention to my mission orders
