Step By Step Guide

Hi there guys, finally had some time to pick up Silent Hunter 5. Love the game but of course I want to start adding on the mods now. It has been sometime since I have done this and I have completely forgotten on how to go about it.

Do I need any particular program to activate the mods and what mods would you recommend I install?

First thing you need is :-

JoneSoft Generic Mod Enabler (JSGME) v2.4 is now available from http://jonesoft.jaennahre.com (http://jonesoft.jaennahre.com/)

Link to thread :- JSGME (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=169092)

this will help you to install all those great mods.

The mods you download will depend on the type of game you want.

I like to play as realistic as possible. The mods listed below are the ones I have installed. They are in the order that I installed them.

Thank you for the info guys. Some splendid mods running in the game now :D is there a mod which lowers the observation periscope? I find it rather annoying constantly being up the way it is.

TDW's NewUI + TDC mod includes that feature, or you can use this code (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=1354395&postcount=16) (which is from that mod) if you're not using other mods to do the same.

[Herr_Pete]

I have those mods installed now but the observation periscope is still up :-?

Then you didn't install the new UI correctly. Does your UI look like this (http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/6853/uish5enhanced.jpg)? If not, reinstall properly (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVv1qgyivPI). (Though skip the part about the TDC folder, that's all built in now.)
