The replay is functioning and you can interact/jump into the mission and start playing whenever you want to. You can fast jump into positions were the action is. Point of action is marked on the replay hud so just click just ahead the marker and use compression. It's awesome and gives you time to take some very neat screenshots or you can just enjoy watching the movie And yes. It saves the whole mission if you start saving and continue to save WITH replay.

Barkhorn, I'm keeping a close eye on the SH4 Mod Workshop thread concerning the mod that fixes radar contacts being lost when you are travelling south. So far there seem to be issues getting it compatible with 1.2, though. At this time there are one or two variations that seem to be more experimental than release-ready. Will report when that has been cleared.

letterboy1 there's a post at Subsim that outlines the requirements of each mission : http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=111509

Here's the text of the post made by Beery:

"Guard.
You're required to go to the objective location and pick up pilots who parachute into the sea. You get 250 renown points if you pick up 5 pilots.

Insertion Commando.
You have to go to the objective location and drop off a team of six commandos. The radius of this mission is usually 3 nautical miles. You have to surface the boat once within this radius and bring the boat to a stop in order to be able to launch the commandos' dinghy. Once the dinghy is launched the objective is completed. The option to launch the dinghy will not appear unless you surface, so you can either enter the area submerged or do a quick dive and resurface once at the objective. You usually get 200 renown points for completing this mission.

Insertion Spy.
You have to go to the objective location and drop off a spy. The radius of this mission is usually 3 nautical miles. You have to surface the boat once within this radius and bring the boat to a stop in order to be able to launch the spy's dinghy. Once the dinghy is launched the objective is completed. The option to launch the dinghy will not appear unless you surface, so you can either enter the area submerged or do a quick dive and resurface once at the objective. You usually get 200 renown points for completing this mission.

Insertion Supplies.
You have to go to the objective location and drop off a dinghy containing two sailors and supplies. The radius of this mission is usually 3 nautical miles. You have to surface the boat once within this radius and bring the boat to a stop in order to be able to launch the dinghy. Once the dinghy is launched the objective is completed. The option to launch the dinghy will not appear unless you surface, so you can either enter the area submerged or do a quick dive and resurface once at the objective. You usually get 200 renown points for completing this mission.

Patrol.
This mission requires only that you stay within 100 nautical miles of the objective for 48 hours. You usually get 200 renown points for completing this mission.

Photo.
You must travel to within 8 nautical miles of the objective then, while submerged, lock an enemy vessel in your periscope and press the menu bar button to take a photo. You may need a number of photos to complete the mission. You usually get 300 renown points for this mission.

Sink.
Here you must travel to within 100 nautical miles of the objective. Once on station a second objective will appear telling you to sink enemy shipping. You are free to go anywhere to sink ships. You get 100 renown points for arriving on station and a further 250 points if you sink 10,000 tons or more."

I myself have just received the order to sink shipping in the Celebes Sea so your post was a reminder for me to find out what I need to do.

Cheers,

WB.
