Look for the large optics document , it is the mod documents and it tells you how to use the large optics .

So, I just subscribed to Subsim, but I have a few questions regarding the installation of the mega mod.

I'm sure this question has been answered a few times, but after skimming the thread for 20 minutes I still could not find an answer.

I downloaded both the bonus mod versions April 2014 and 2013 but I cannot find any instruction on which order I have to install all the different mods. The list at the beginning of this thread is also only partially useful because some mods are not included in the file I downloaded.

Am I missing something?

Well yes, it's explained, but I still don't get it.

Seems like you want me to download TDW SH5Patcher and extract it to the desktop. If I start it the only prompt I immediately get is language which I set to English. The only other option I now have is to file -> open.

If I do that the patcher wants me to specify some paths (CameraManager.act etc.). I guess those are in the SH 5 main directory.

I do that about ten times and then finally restore the snapshot.

After it's restored successfully I do what? What about the 1.8 GB files I downloaded earlier? I really appreciate all your hard work and totally understand that repeated questions can be a nuisance, but as someone who has never worked with anything else than JSGME and Silent Hunter 3 this is all a bit much.

Ok , now I know whats going on . The
TDW SH5Patcher is just an unofficial patch to the game . Nothing to do with mods . You must have downloaded the official 1.2 patch for the game in order for the patcher to work . So that's good , you have the game all patched up . So now you need something to enable all the mods you downloaded which is the mod enabler (jsgme ) . It would be helpful to get a bit of background , such as computer specs , age , computer illiterate like myself etc .

TDW patcher link At the bottom of post #1 is the how to links. Sjizzle thread is the most up to date.

@lighthaze
Beaware that some modders pack multiple folders into their mods. Uncompress the mod you want and check for folder levels. Check out the user guide pdf in my signature link at post #1. More details given than the JSGMEhelp.txt.

Hey guys,

I know this is probably against rules and all but i have just found out about this series. I have never played any of them before. I looked through and found out that SH 5 should not be played without mods. It seems this is the most popular SH 5 mod but honestly, i am a bit scared of the work required to download this pack. Am i missing something? Is there a way to make this process simplified for a newbie?

Sorry about this!

Thanks.

the game celestial is accurate ... to navigate with noon position is easy and no need to do some correction like sextan index or dip error correction ...
