Default Patrol designated area

Hej
I´ve downloaded and installed Sober´s mod list for SH5. And i must admit that this is how the game should have looked like when it came out originally

Everything worked like a charm, whit only miner things that i could work out myself

Only thing i seem to have a problem whit, is when i´m supposed to patrol a designated area. I don´t seem to get it done!
Without mods there has been no problem! Is the time spent on patrol different?

I usually spend about 48 hours patrolling the designated area in a 50 km radius.
Is it any different with the mods installed?

Any advice are welcome

And tums up for the modders you rock

Now I have to meet KM Nordmark (??) to refill and proceed to Second Happy Time.
Refuel is rejected by the commanders.

Can't find the refill point/ship/U-boat. HELP!

Mod Trouble...Eh?

Well, Ive hit a Brick wall...Eh
Im having issue's installing mods like Equipmentupgradesv1.4bythebeast & Open Horizions v1.8.. I can install mods like Critical hits, accurate flags and a fistful of emblems because there all set with destination folders inside for ex. CriticalHitsTorpedos/data/library/torpedoes_g7a-e. Those are the ones i can install. BUT when its like this. Openhorizons.rar/a load of files,configs, and whatnot. Those i Cant install because i put'em in a folder, In MODS then activate using JSGME then load game.. Nothing works, No extended Campaign. So if some can tell me how to install it and in a step by step way. That would be great...Eh?

You need to unpack the mods after you download them.
Google "7zip" and download this app to unpack the mods.

Then watch this Stoianm vid to see how to install http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...7&postcount=26

Thanks, I'll go watch those. But Isn't WinZip the same as 7zip?
Because when i open the zipped file for, Accurate Flags. It has the mod name/data/where it needs to go..But when i open Open Horizons with winzip like the other mods. Its just a jumble of configs, And whatnot...Eh?


(Finally Fixed It. Extracting the files to a temp. place seems to be my failing to-do! Thanks for the video tip, Made me see what i did wrong...Eh?)

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;

http://www.gamefront.com/files/21026...eDarkWraith_7z

Next, go here;


http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...o=file&id=3069

.........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.

No depth-sound meter?
on the left at the bottom you'lll find a tiny button put the mouse cursor over it and it'll tell you that it's the depth meter then click on it and it'll give a ping and you'll hear how much under your boat
