Hi,

I've reinstalled SH4 and added OM Mod as I like the ATO. I had issues before with saves crashing when loading but I am trying with a clean install of SH4. I've read a lot of posts regarding saved game crashes with Mega Mods and hopefully I'll be able to conduct a career relatively painlessly.

I tried to change the nav map bearing tool to the 3000 metre one but had no success. The OM bearing tool is one of the things I dislike but will have to cope with if I want to play the campaign. I did carry out the procedure of adding subs to the mod data file but still no success. OM doesn't seem to have added the xxx_shp.dds file to any of the type VII folders even though the OM bearing tool is shown, so I'm not sure which boat the type VII's use for display on the nav map.

Anyhow I've just started my first patrol (96 hrs off the western approaches) and I have already have my first victim (600km west of Brest), 8000 tons of lovely cargo vessel. Setup as I normally would but this time I'm using metric for realism so speed was calculated at 3'15" which equals distance in metres x 10 = spd in kts. Fire 2 fish, 2 impacts and a very nice explosion.

Settings are all realistic use of fuel/O2/battery life etc and also manual targeting. I'm keeping external view for any screen shots but have event camera turned off.

I'll keep you updated on progress and let you know if I come across any issues as my career develops.
