HELP: SEXTANT NOT WORK

[fisher_bcn]

sextant does not work; uzo view
I give up.
I've been trying for years, but there's no way, I can't use the sextant. It is very frustrating, since I would like 100% realism using the sextant.
I have tried all the twos of sextants, navigations, optics... what if the HUD of the sh3, what if enharced sh5, and nothing, the damn sextant is the view of the uzo. I can rotate 360º, but on the altitude axis, well, that's the view of the uzo.
Let's see if someone can solve this damn bug, or give me ideas to make it work.
My PC:
Windows 10 64-bit (Admin)
AMD A9-9425 RADEON R5
5 COMPUTE CORES 2C+3G
TV 16/9
8GB RAM

I installed it in a folder I created called Ubisoft: C/Ubisoft/Silent Hunter 5
Program: Silent Hunter 5 1.2 Uplay.
TWOS 2.25.

I await your response moored in the bunker at the port of Memel to do the first mission for at least the 60th time. I know it by memory. First a submarine, then the destroyer and the minesweeper, some ships, two in the port...

I would also appreciate it if you could tell me what to add to the game to improve it and make the realism 100%. For example, I have:
Real navigation :0
Real navigation new sextant :O
Encrypted BdU Orders
Stock Submarine Interior (I like Interior_Food Stocks better, but it has problems with the cameras)
Wooden lifeboats
Bstanko6's Radio Channels Final
Radio Warsaw Mod (only for the first mission)
DBSM_Speech_1_0_4
Harbor Charts 1.0
Depth_Keeping_Problem_UHS_patch_HB_2_0_0_TheDarkWr aith (there are two different ones, but I think this is the one that works best for me. It seems incredible that there is the disgusting bug of hitting the bottom with the u boot and the ground looks like a trencher and destroys your submarine. In the SH3 Gray wolves I remember I once repaired the submarine at the bottom, like Daas Boot. Now that was a joy to play. The SH5 is a real piece of rubbish. I bought it, tried it and threw it away in a bad mood, just like the SH4. Thank goodness the modders do an incredible job and fix it. For me the complete game would be SH3 Gray Wolves with the graphics of SH5. If you had the resources, and the repairs were something else in the game, not like the present SH5, which in I give those two aspects a 0)
GrenSo's Compass v1.7
Alpheratz's Real Navigation Mod 2023
I don't know whether to put this one. I like damage control even less. The disk for the stars is very good, but I can't use it... I don't use the other mod it has, since I use the RAOBF. In any case, congratulate you for your immense work; I'm going to his SH5 Skool, but right now as you can see I can't move forward. And I'm so eager to learn how to use the sextant that I'm desperate.
I've tried a few more, such as Real_Battery_Lifetime_Fix_Mod_V_1.0_TDW_UI_7_4_2, the IRAI_0_0_39_Inertia_Damage, IRAI_0_0_39_ByTheDarkWraith and the Realistic Default Equipment (1939 - 1942). I don't use them because I think the TWOS is already very complete and I think it already has the best. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Without further ado, thanks in advance, I hope a commander will help me measure the polar.

Hi,

Come on Alpheratz discord and i help you step by step if you want for a clear installation, with real Navigation, sextant, ephemeride, realism 100%etc etc...
Don't worry you are not alone with this problem.

It's hard to do this on a forum, really it's better on discord.
But i can try here.




1/ Complete uninstallation of TWOS and Silent hunter 5.

when I say complete uninstallation I mean complete, don't also forget the files in document.


2/ Clean installation of Silent Hunter 5

Once silent hunter 5 is installed, launch it, and check in the main menu that the version is 1.2.0


3/ Clean installation of T.W.O.S last version

You must follow step by step the TWOS installation instructions. I put the link of the PDF named "The_Wolves_of_Steel_2_2_Install_instructions" here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1541...usp=drive_link

Launched the game, without any mod, nothing, launch a campaign, when you are in the U-Boot-Bunker, save the campaign then return to the main menu and reload your save. Check that there are no display bugs.


4/ Activate mods in the correct order

Here an exemple for the order :




5/ When you want to download a mod check that it is not already included in TWOS

Here list of all the mods include in TWOS :

If after all this, it doesn't work, go to the Alpheratz discord and we will help you. On a forum it's hard, discord more easy.
From what I read from you, one of your problems comes from the mods you installed, some are not compatible with others. But that shouldn't be the only problem...

A complete and clean installation will eliminate all problems.

Jajaja yes, and very deep

[fisher_bcn]

Incredible. At first. The more I know how to program, the worse I get at it.
Thank you very much Dönitz78 Korvettenkapitän . I, a humble Oberleutnant zur See,
will be eternally grateful to you, and if you need help making a mod or anything,
you can always count on me. I tell you from the heart. My email is fisher_bcn@yahoo.com.
For now I am going to make an adjustment to the speed dial so that the speed is correct with the mouse pointer.
I already did it, but it was deleted.
It bothers me a lot that I can't put the correct speed I want in,
for example when doing an Ausdampferfaher attack.

I have followed your steps to the letter.
I have installed the mods in the order you have indicated.
I have not installed the Air Force for TWos 2224_re-saved,Dönitz mod and Traduction FR mods
because I can't find them. Everything has been correct.
What was my huge surprise when when I started TWOS for the first time without mods
the sextant worked perfectly!! When installing all the other mods it works just as perfect.
I don't know how many times I have deleted and reinstalled SH5,
and every time I deleted everything I did it with ccleaner.
I think the only difference this time was turning off Windows Defender before installing everything.
Could this be what caused the error?
I have a couple of doubts: Does any of these mods fix the bottoming out problem?
I tried to hit the bottom and it was difficult, but I think this aspect has been improved. When I start Commander, I put the option of As in the game,
and not According to historical criterias. I think that's better this way. I'm wrong? Thank you very much and browse.

I just wrote and started learning with the sextant.

[fisher_bcn]

Everything looks great. Millions of thanks.
Now I return to SH5 skool classes
:y eah:

[Dönitz78]

My plaisir Oberleutnant

On the Alpheratz Discord you have all what you need for the celestial navigation :

-Nautisches Jahrbuch 1939
-Nautisches Jahrbuch 1940
-Nautisches Jahrbuch 1941
-Nautisches Jahrbuch 1942
-F-tafel
-Fulst's Nautische Tafeln


Indeed Air Force for TWos 2224_re-saved has disappeared ! Luckily I still have it.

I re-uploaded it here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...usp=drive_link
(if its author sees this and does not want me to put the link, do not hesitate to contact me, I would obviously remove it.)

For the Traduction FR it's French traduction.

For the problem i don't know, your mod before sur but there are other thinks probably, that's why we don't have to go into detail, uninstall everything and reinstall correctly. We avoid wasting time.

Good luck at the school of navigation and happy celestial navigation to you !

[fisher_bcn]

Thanks a lot.
