Trevally Harbour & Kiel Canal Pilot v2.8

First your mod list - see yellow changes.

out of kiel the canal pilot worked like a charm but inbound...i get msg to refi,t end patrol, or postpone....and that that.....

If this is happening as you enter Kiel - click end mission
If it is when you are passing othe port - click postpone.

pluss another off thing...when i have targets i dont get thir speed....yes i need auto TDC ...

any suggestions or clue what it can be ???

In TDWs UI you are using - there are some options along the top right of your screen.
There is a small yellow button there. - click it and these options will expand.
This will show a new option - "Show item notes"
Click this to turn it on and now when you mouse over a map contact - it will tell you ship speed

Thank you very much :-)

Change the game settings when you are in the bunker.
Press esc and goto options
Select gameplay
tick boxes (fuel etc)
click apply
save game

I would like to thank my Kiel Harbor Pilot for saving me COUNTLESS HOURS of time trying to navigate through the Canal while using Real Navigation. Brilliant mod, thanks sooo much for this Trevally!

Thanks Kylania

My part was easy - It was TDW that did all the hard work adding the navigation commands to his UI

[kylania]

Your scripts and his new alarm clock has really been the push to get me to embrace 100% realism (well, 89% - loves me some external camera and stabilized view is the only way I can see things!).

Thanks TDW!

And my Pilot v.2.8 played a little joke. That happened after passing the Kiel channel already in the gulf where German destroyers are patroling the area (almost before the end of Pilots mission). When enclosing to one of the destroyers I recieved the message that both AI's are in contact now, the destroyer just stopped, and my Pilot just reduced speed up to 1-2 knots and TC from 32 to 1, but didn't change my course and have been slightly driving me just into the port side of the standing destroyer. I was curious and just watched what will happen, but when the distance between U-boat and ship was appr. 10 m I understood that miracle should not happens and ordered 'full reverse' manually (my balls are not as cool as they were dozen of years before).


I think that case was the only mistake of my Pilot, or that was the mistake of destroer's AIcaptain, and I hope BDU should clean up his RAM a little bit after that accident.

If serious the mod is great and the only thing to be desired is to make this automation 'loadable' in case the game could be saved with working Harbour Pilot and then loaded and continued with it running from the savepoint. Not sure it is posiible by now

[kylania]

Ahh, yeah. With MO loaded there was always a small minesweeper at the beginning I had to manually rudder around. This was always a problem since every single campaign I've started recently breaks my dials and clock till I save/reload, so I had to settle for just plowing into the poor guy. Didn't take any damage.

I also run into the destroyer you're talking about at the end of the run every time. I usually catch it early enough to be able to 5 degree to one side to avoid it.

IIRC this should be happening already. If you have a harbor pilot script running in Automation and you exit the game then reload the game again it should automatically restart the harbor pilot. Is this not happening?

Now if you're saving a game then 'opening' up another save game it won't do this. It only applies if you save and exit and then reload the game.

Just tried to start the campaign> enable pilot> saved game>quit to Windows>loaded game>Pilot is not running
May be I should enable this automation one more time after loading, and it will start counting the route correctly

Yes it should re-enable any scripts you previously had running. There is a file located in your SH5 install path named ActiveAutomationScripts.TDW. If you open it up it will show you which scripts you had enabled before shutting the game down.

What does this file show?

It's also best to run DbgView before starting game as there is information related to this output by the mod

EDIT:

think I found an error in my TDWFileUtils.dll file that would cause this to happen.....

EDIT2:

yep, sure did. Patch 1 for NewUIs_TDC v6.8.0 will be available here very shortly
