No problem. Veterans mode gets rid of sonar call-outs for "torpedo in the water" and "undersea missile launch". I feel like there's something else I'm forgetting, but it does get rid of those transient call-outs.

From the DWX/RA readme inside your manual folder on your computer:
Quote:
64 - DW_Veterans_Edition.exe - game version without TIW, Underwater missile launch, and sonobuoys splashes text, and audio messages.
It is meant with multiplayer (veterans) in mind who look for a challenge.
For single player, there's no reason to play with it, as it basically degrades realism (no callouts).

Thanks Nippelspanner!

Hmmm, no readme in my DW/manual folder, only readme is one with regards to Windows 10, anyway...

So should I use my original Steam launch/icon, or should I use the "dangerouswaters"/icon inside the Steam/DW directory in order to use the RA mod?

Again thanks!

Good to see you too! You can use either. The launcher from in the folder will launch the game regardless of whether Steam is running.

I think the Readme is in the root folder, I probably just put it where it belongs.

It's a must read anyways to get a good idea about the features. On top make sure to read the weapons manual - that should really be in said folder.

Have fun!

That's weird. You have 1.42 it seems, as do I.

This is what my DWX_142.7z looks like.
As you can see, the file I meant is provided by default and will install into the root directory automatically.

Ok, now I see where we have cross issues with info....

- We have the same installation (you refer to !DW_RA_1_42_OPFOR_INFO text file, which I also have, itīs just that it dosenīt say "TEXT" at the end of the file name on my install.

- When you mentioned "64 - DW_Veterans_Edition.exe - game version without TIW, Underwater missile launch, and sonobuoys splashes text, and audio messages." This is taken from the "DWX 1_141 version notes! I wasent looking there, I was looking at the 1.42 notes and thatīs why I thought I was looking at a wrong doc. or was missing it!

All solved! Well these things happen, no problem!

Thanks for your kind help NS, I will have a read on your suggestions! Godspeed and good hunting mate!

Care,

Red

Hey folks- I'm getting the following crash at the debrief screen for the "Holddown Excercise" mission of the RSR campaign in 1.42:

"Problem signature:

Does anyone know what might be causing this or how to fix it? I'd really like to carry on with this campaign, it seems worth the effort.

e: Crazy Ivan has a fix for this here, in case anyone else has this issue:

Default Exact bearing

Is it possible to integrate a bearing with two decimal places? Letīs say I got a bearing s1 is 90deg but I want the 90.00deg bearing. Goal for this is to calculate a very accurate bearing rate for an enemy contact.
Can someone help me with this?

Default OK more stupid questions

Okokok good stupid questions-

One- most importantly-- a bit of background, I have finally after long last moved into the house I have been building for the last forever. However I only just got internet, but had the power turned on a month ago, so I had been playing a lot of DW during nights to pass the time. I got into the mission editor, had a little fun bamboozling up the missions. I noticed the Iowa-class BB and the Iowa-mod CG.

What I want to know is will they shoot their guns? I can't seem to figure it out. The CG mod will launch TASMs and Harpoons, and they seem to shoot CIWS at incoming missiles, but I have never seen them shoot their guns. Possible? Or just for decoration? Because I want to see some 16" gun kabooms!



Second... am I doing the tactics wrong when inserting a new ship? I can't seem to figure out how to make them attack *anybody who needs attacking* rather than just pick one ship... sometimes they don't even seem to want to attack the ship I pick as their attack target. Maybe I need to pick a different tactic like expanding box or transit search etc.?




Thanks! I had more questions but forgetting now, will remember soon.
