While mucking around with the submarine sim file i noticed if i change unit_sub\gc_height to zero (Gravity center height from the object's bottom [m]. If 0, then the half of geometric bounding box is taken.) the sub would roll over . Maybe this applies to ships as well .

This is interesting. Perhaps this setting could be added as damage so the ship would by chance roll or capsize!? In SH4 I recall ships capsizing on occasion, in fact a tanker recently had a very realistic half capsize as it was going down by the stern. My point is that perhaps the Merchant settings can be applied somehow.
I would hope that you could experiment with the same settings as SH4, I don't know in this case, but Sober, that's a great find. I hope it could be apllied.

I wish I knew the files the way TDW does - I'm waaaay behind on that and just starting to learn.

But the simple idea here is (if it really causes ships to capsize, which I haven't had a chance to experiment with just yet), the function could be theoretically added that based on the damage/whatever that parses back into the ship's settings decrease of this. Could cause some hilarious issues too

Need testing.

But first, I have to figure out why in the fracking world am I CTDing when trying to come back to Kiel after Coastal Waters...
2 computers, 2 different window's - exact same crash... grrrr

This sounds like a mod change during patrol

Are you close to Kiel?, approaching from the north or the canal?
Try a refit in another port and then return to Kiel later

I thought that this could soon be fixed with the patch "damage by zone" - using the new zone file that comes with the patcher (MODS).
I am going to test soon myself without using the AI flooding repair patch

Mod-list exactly the same (just the computers that switched - and that what makes the problem interesting: it is consistent and exact in both ocasions).

Approaching from north. And I'm VERY close to Keil - I can barely see the entrance into the port/lighthouse kind of close.
And yeah, that is exactly the attempt I'm going to be making today - go away, refit at different port, come back later.

One of the possibilities that I think might be the cause of this is large german task force that you are passing when you leaving Keil and half-way to Baltic - they moving towards Keil.

It's possible that their arrival to the Keil is around 7-8 of Sep - exactly when my return happens to be. Possibly giving it another day-two cleares them out of the port and allows for a slightly lesser load and jump on resourses when approaching Keil.

Dunno, will see today :P

It could be
I removed all convoys from Kiel and that fixed the ctd during the tutorial - so it is possible that a taskforce was missed

Try waiting a week before approaching Kiel to see

yep. I will let you know in OH II thread if it is the cause.

I also had frequent crashes when approaching Kiel. Try to lower TC to 4x or even 2x when approaching the place where it always crashes.
I know it will take long but simply go for a coffee or something else, that way I was able to finish patrol.

it happens at tc1
but thank you for the note, I know that not everyone aware of such things.

Got a big feel today of the Dud Torpedo phenomena. Fired two T1's at a steamer on convoy patrol LOL and got two prematures in a row. I had my second reporting with some disgust Torpedo Exploded prematurely.
I forgot about that part of the patcher and I must say it was satisfying and irritating at the same time. It made the experience even more tense to set up two more shots with TIII's before the ship got a chance to complete it's evasive maneuver.
It just gets better....

Hi guys,

I need some help please.

1- I use the SH5.exe patch 1.0.74 and i cant get the separate engine controls and deck awash features to work. I dont have the icons for this features in my TDW UI v.7.1.0.

2- The ship sinkings and explodings are very stupid and unrealistic (f.e. an exploding ship fligh 100 meters in the sky and other ships take a very long time to sink or even doesent sink ).

3- Why are there so many magnetic torpedoes that explode to early (5-10 secs) after launching (60% - 80%)

4- I have some graphical gliches, when i look around somtimes i notice ugly
"black spots" like dark smoke but it isnt smoke. I my GC is up to date (GTX550TI)

I use the original Silent Hunter 5 Collectors Edition (uplay download version) patched to v.1.2. I think it is the same as the retail (DVD) version and i have modded with a modified version of sobers megamod.

The new version with this feature has not been released by TDW yet, but he does have a test version. See here
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...postcount=9229
and a fix for that test here
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...postcount=9313
so merge these dowloads and install as v7.2.1
Then use the options editor to enable new shafts

2- The ship sinkings and explodings are very stupid and unrealistic (f.e. an exploding ship fligh 100 meters in the sky and other ships take a very long time to sink or even doesent sink ).

This slow to no sinking could be with the AI crew fix
This will make the crew of the target ship try to save their ship (bless them).
The balance of this patch needs work as yes - sometimes the AI repair crew are too good

3- Why are there so many magnetic torpedoes that explode to early (5-10 secs) after launching (60% - 80%)

dodgy batch

4- I have some graphical gliches, when i look around somtimes i notice ugly
"black spots" like dark smoke but it isnt smoke. I my GC is up to date (GTX550TI)

A sort of black triangle (squint) - yes every one gets this I think and is an issue with the game.

If you can catch a screenshot of it (I have tried) then Pintea may be able to help

Hi Trevally, thanks for your quick help and the modding work you are doing. I will try your suggestions.

The first download isnt available but i think the second one is bugfixed by TDW, so i will try an lookout.

But i cant believe i had sometimes 4 Torp shoots and all 4 Torps explode prematurely

EDIT: I have downloaded TDW NewUis v7.2.0 two times but the 7z file is broken I cannot extract it !!!
EDIT 2: OK Extraction successfull
