Silent Hunter 5 Tactics & Tips - "How do I?" & FAQ! READ IF YOU ARE STUCK

[Sagara]

Hi, Since they removed the compass on Silent hunter 5, how can i do to know my bearing? or if there is a way to see a compass with the cardinal points.

My question is without using any mod, i don't think is impossible to know my bearing (without moving) on stock game.

I tried the mod "the dark Wraith" but i only have version 1.1 so the compass doesn't work.

Well then you need to upgrade! http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=166093

Current version is v6.9.0. You have much to discover

Sagara,

It's a little confusing but I think your saying that you have not yet updated the stock game to version I.2. If this is the case should update the game to the current version, version 1.2, first. If you don't, you are almost guarenteed lots of challenging problems. You can do this by going to the Silent Hunter 5 main folder and then >Support>Game Updater>GU,exe and click on it. That action will bring to date.

Next I would highly recommend you install The Dark Wraith's most recent TDC MOD which is NewUIs_TDC_6_9_0_ByTheDarkWraith. It can be found Here;

Next, go here;

.........and you will find what, I think, is the best compass and steering MOD available for SH5. This, too, should be installed with JSGME.

These two MODS should resolve your problems.

ok thanks, I still don't understand how they can release a naval game without compass
