[REL] Fall of the Rising Sun Ultimate, full release

[keltos01]

Right i am on my first mission, after two recob of two marshall Islands been ordered to truck.
On tge way there is an island to the south of my path that i went to investigate, a rain squall hid us when we crept in the onland harbor on the surface..
There was a stationary dd in the harbor.. it fired at us alright, then a torpedo missed oyr stern by nere yards!!!!

Wow forgot they made it!

Or where did you find a way around it? Thanks.

Begins to sink it at 40%?? I have ha as much as 84% hull damage and made it home.

I have no issues going over that area.

If it is not available until '43 why does the game give it to me at Fremantle on only my 6th patrol mid '42? Yes I do have over 250,000 tonnes already. Is it basing the reward on tonnage instead of time again?

By the way I ran into a Junsen type 1 submarine today. The conn doesn't look finished as far as texture goes. It has a texture but some parts are a weird green and all of the conn seems overly bright in shade compared to the rest of the submarine.

I´m kind of giving up.


The game has a tendency to crash to desktop, or just freeze the PC after a bit of playing.

I am having trouble installing the pack. It is a brand new SH4 game with no other mods at all except the JSGME installer. Here is the text of the error message:

454_EasyAOB_FotRSU_Input Target Distance on TBT

Warning Standimeter numbers are not 100% accurate, double check the target distance with position keeper.

I use the attack map to make sure my solution is accurate.

If you guys would read the first page of this thread here, especially the first post, and / or the instructions included in the mod in the Support folder, you would see that you cannot have the game installed in a "Program Files" folder of any sort. Windows will fight you all the way. You have to install the game into a folder you create. You also have to install the DirectX v9.0c and its associated codecs, even if you have v12 already installed. It will add to, not overwrite anything of your current DirectX. You also have to use LAA or some other "memory manager" to open additional Windows RAM resources to the game. This implies that you need a 64-bit version of Windows. If you do not have a 64-bit Windows, but you do have 4 gig or more of RAM in the computer, let us know, and we will help you configure the Windows start to have more RAM available for the game.

Install in port.

Nice one P.Konrad! I'll have to check that out tomorrow!

I can't input a range longer than 1300 yds. manually on the attack data tool (on a Porpoise and Gato, minimum). Why can't I rotate the tool to longer ranges?

[Michael Wood]

Just finishing running extensive testing, using Bungo Suido single mission. For this test, had map updates turned on to compare stadimeter readings with manually drawn map range lines. Ran test multiple times, in order to close to within 2,000 yards for specific ships before using stadimeter, to check range. Results were disappointing.


Had heard that all war ships used top of tallest mast as aiming point, except carriers, who used top of flight deck. Found no rhyme or reason to aiming points, which varied from top of tallest stack to top of forward superstructure to tallest point on mast to somewhere in between.


This makes playing with map updates pretty much impossible, when attacking a task force with escorts. Cannot use sonar. Stadimeter useless. Sad.


Does anyone else play with map updates off or is a man just spitting into the wind?

I forgot to ask last night, do you have your JSGME activated mods list? I am trying to re-create this, and have failed thus far.

Thanks for checking more. If I can find an old utility, I'll try to run through the ships and get some better heights for an optional mod for the no map contacts people. Don't hold your breath though, since it might take a while.

i have never played the game without map updates turned on.

keep in mind that this is game that has evolved over the years. the version that you (we) are playing was designed over fifteen years ago. and IMO it was not designed very good. some of what you are experiencing is game design and cannot be affected by modders, who are only capable of changing the conditions under which we play the game.

it is a game. enjoy it for what it brings to you. if you are not enjoying it, move on to something else that does. good luck.

I agree completely. It's a game. It tries to simulate real life, but can only go so far.
In the game, there is only 1 person (the player) to make things happen, not 80 or 90 guys.
I use auto targeting, my (unseen) crew does the work, etc.
It would be nice if there was a way for the deck and guns crews to go below and get back on deck when we dive and surface. They remain unharmed as long I remember to move them manually before we get depth charged.

Thanks, Modders, keep up the good work!

Nice one P.Konrad! I'll have to check that out tomorrow! [/QUOTE]



I corroborate Propbeanie as I have been playing with those Mods since the first releases. Also, this release has been easy to install IF you follow the instructions and very stable for me. No CTDs, and so far NO failed restores from Saves, which I have been able to take (Saves) whenever I want. Great job you and the team have done with this release and tracking down and fixing the issues that are still out there, though much fewer from my playing experience

Are you sure you selected Manual Targeting? You must select that for career missions while in the Office by “pulling” out the Book on the bookshelf and viewing Game Options.
