Hello, I'm new here, & was wondering if you could help?
I know it's a dumb question, but how do you access the tutorials shown in your post? (I'm talking about the "step by step tutorials & how to do it" post).

Hi Steve
No question is to dumb here its how we learn, ok! Go to the ‘Tutorial’ you want. Right click with your ‘Mouse’ to ‘Shade it.’ Copy and Paste it to a ‘Notepad’ or ‘Word Document’ on your own PC. |
Incredibly clear Thank you Berbster

Play Silent Hunter 5 Offline!
Play Silent Hunter 5 in Offline Mode!
Playing with Ubisoft Connect Offline will let you use your own game saves itaken from C:\Documents\SH5\data\cfg SaveGames instead of the Cloud synchronized ones which maybe corrupted. You may see a message asking where to take the saved games from. Important Your game should not be installed in the Program Files (x86) restricted directory. If this is so then I would suggest that you uninstall and re-install again, use a registry cleaner before re-booting your system.

How to Use The Free Registry Cleaner Ccleaner
Last updated 22nd May 2018
How To Use The Free Registry Cleaner Ccleaner If you are installing for the first time or re-installing because of a problem it is essential that you use a Registry Cleaner as part of this process. Ccleaner is free and is basically two cleaning tools one is a very good tool for uncluttering your PC and the other for keeping your registry in good shape. I use the cleaner every day before I shut my PC down. The Registry Cleaner can be used as and when required.

What You Can Do When You Finish Your Mission Early In SH5
Last updated 9th January 2018
You have completed the Mission early and you do not have a New Mission to go to. 1. How to Request an available Mission. In the Bunker. Go to the Flotilla Leader. What are my Mission Orders? Request the Mission. Exit. Use the Esc key. Save Game. Make a Manual Game Save. Use the Esc key. Go to the Main Menu. Load Save your new one. Go to the Quatermaster and select any Upgrades available and Torpedoes. Go to the Flotilla Leader again. Let’s start the new patrol. Your New Patrol will load and you can sail. 2. No Mission available 1st time. In the Bunker. Go to the Flotilla Leader. What are my Mission Orders? No Mission available. Use the Esc key. Go to the Main Menu. Save Game. Make a Manual Game Save. Use the Esc key. Go to the Main Menu. Load Save your new one. Go to the Quatermaster and select any Upgrades available and Torpedoes. Go to the Flotilla Leader again. Let’s start the New Patrol. When the game loads to the Bridge go to the Navigation Map and look at the date and see if you have a New Mission. If you have follow the instructions from 1. If you have not follow the instructions 3. 3. No Mission available repeating. The Navigation Map again shows No New Missions. Go back to the Bridge. You can see the Anchor icon showing End Patrol. Press the Anchor icon. You are now back in the Bunker. Go to the Flotilla Leader What are my Mission Orders? Follow the instructions for 1, 2 or 3 as required until you see a New Mission on the Navigation Map. Each time you End the Patrol and start a New Mission your Map date will advance. Your previous Patrol records are kept and can be viewed in the Captain’s Log (Hat) at any time. Your Tonnage Bar and Campaign icons will still show your previous activity as you left it if you have this activated. It is advisable to End the Patrol each time you have to return to your base to re-supply. Refitting without ending the Patrol causes the data files to become larger and can lead to problems developing each time you refit so only use once in any one patrol. |

Hi Capt.
Yes your right, especially with Sober as he will frequently update more than 1 mod list within a few hours or a day later, so he keeps me on my toes. Don't forget also the modders put in countless hours that unlike mine you can't see. Peter |
