Small FIX for Equipment Upgrade

In TXT file blocks for UpgradePacks.upc and NSS_Uboat7a.upcge.

This is Fix for Hydrophone. In TWOS by default on the boat installed GHG Hydrophone Receiver and KDB Hydrophone Receiver even if KDB is wasnt installed. Whith this fix KDB Hydrophone Receiver will be install only with KDB.

By analogy, you need to do for other boats

Change this value (128) for example to 512 or 1024...

Thanks!


If Silent Hunter 4 had this beautiful ocean instead of the wobbly mess...


Two questions:

Any chance silent hunter 3/4 crew management will return in the future or is it impossible in the engine? Does morale effect efficiency in any way?

And ships seems to be smoking horizontally all the time when on fire, this is normal?

Tough question...Even if something like this is possible it would probably require unprecedented level of familiarity with game files and a LOT of work for sure.

Does morale effect efficiency in any way?
Low moral/fatigue points will prevent you to use crew special abilities...

And ships seems to be smoking horizontally all the time when on fire, this is normal?
It's from the mod called "Sober's Smokescreen"...:yep:

Lower morale of sound engineer means lower possibilities of notifying you about contacts at hydrophone at least ;)

Sometimes when Beno has low morale you can wait hours, then go to hydro for yourself and hear ship literaly beside you.

Nothing important for him :)

Thanks you very much guys, your help truly means a lot, but also please understand that the main motive behind my stubborn work on this game is certainly not the money...:yep:
The fact it self that so meany people are now able to enjoy SH5 in the form as it should be in the first place, without a headache, huge modlist and constant wrestling with countless bugs and game crashes, is the biggest reward for me...:yep:

Anyway, mnts salvaging operation progress so far...Cables are strong, all is going according to plan...:)

In a few days I'll start to import warships and after that I can start slowly to edit campaign files in order to support recent changes.
The plan is that with already existing air raid sirens and upcoming "injection" of newly imported illuminated ships, sea and environmental units, coastal waters and ports in TWoS becomes much more "live" and atmospheric...:yep::salute:

Hi Vecko
coastal waters and ports in TWoS becomes much more "live" and atmospheric Do you see this as being able to main the stabilty of your excellent TWOS.
Ports are the one place where the load on the game seems to suffer.
Peter

[HW3]

I left Lorient on the evening of 2 June 1942, and the air raid defenses were seriously lacking. It seemed like my sub AA was the only one firing at the enemy planes before I took it under water to escape.

[palmic]

Woot Vecko, next update I'll name Illuminati! :D

[Muckenberg]

Hello Vecko
Some MTNS ships carry a German-branded cargo. I would like to ask you whether it would be possible to place these ships only as Axis ships or to states with sympathetic Axis.
It is really strange when ships with a German warfare sail in the allied convoy.
I apologize for my English.

Peter
CTDs when approaching ports with or without high TC are long gone past in TWoS...:yep: I can add as many units as you like and the game still wont crash. Even old save/restart before port tip is not mandatory anymore although it is still present in the Tips section...:yep: I learned how to cure these issues since v1.06 IIRC. This is the reason why we can today see submarine flags, submarine smoke exhaust, AI type II, AI sub crew and other "black list" mods working perfectly fine together in TWoS ...:yep:

Don't worry, I don't think this will be the case...Can you give me some example so I could pay extra attention to these ships?

[Muckenberg]

So I installed Mtns on my computer and found these ships in the British merchant fleet: Ore Carrier 7800 t and Freighter 4500 t. Unfortunately I do not know how to insert the picture here.

Nice one! it behaves the same but colors are a bit wierd.

I have a problem with weserubung, arrive in kiel 20 march and accept mission but I get out 13 april when it's over?

[fitzcarraldo]

Very nice to see many new ships in TWoS. How about to insert SH3 ships as those of MFM mod?

Also there are the Razzle Dazzle ships (skins) for SH4.

Many thanks Vecko for the great job.

I thinked combining this with of Palmic "real navigation target motion "..this :

Would changing the number of days spent in Bunker help ? there is mod for that too

One of the reasons why dates are missed is because you are not able to save progress while inside a 24 patrol zone ( Or more ) it just keeps resetting time spent back to zero hours . Only solution I know of is to ensure you can complete Zone in 1 session

I see..You guys are talking about printable trig. charts which don't have anything with already existing in game charts, Am I right?:hmm2:
For example printable PDF, or something?

[palmic]

Yep. And Hauangua means, there is no tan/cot table in game, he needs it for target motion analysis.

Btw, what about your next update and our current campaigns?
Shall we expect campaigns reset? :88)

No, I don't think so, although some env units like light ships in ports and floating docks will become visible only after advance to the next campaign chapter.
Other regular imported units will be visible in convoys right away or at least after few sim days...:yep:

Wow, i think i used convoy as sound jam of escorts hydrophones, i was between escorts and convoy ( escorts are standalone, convoy is completely unprotected)

I know their master course and at full i have the same speed, so i could stay below convoy [emoji3]

I was not so distant from escorts and at full speed, battle stations on, loading eels.

Thanks Vecko

the chart is sliding..scrollable I substituted trigonometry chart of Shijzle with this
But I think possible add others charts not only substitute...but must understand how to do it
I used XnView (free) for load my chart saving like ,dds file
And substitute "sinecos" folder in "user chart" Sh5

[palmic]

sin/cos is also handy guys ;)

[palmic]

Today's Kaleun hint:

Having you are besides convoy or any other target and you know their course:

If you know their course and you set same course and you have them in UZO at 90, their AOB is logically also 90.

If you have them at 91, their AOB is 89, 100->80, and so on.

So you can control their AOB just by changing your speed.

[hauangua]

sin/cos is also handy guys ;)

Yes Palmic you right
But I had learn change pdf in, dds file and probe "insert in to the game "
Now I must improve this work

But... Thank you for your help!!

I hope I'll finish all the work until next weekend if I'm able to work on TWoS at least 2-3h per day . Really sorry for the delay guys...

No point in compromising on quality. :Kaleun_Applaud:

[palmic]

As i play exactly now, i have to say, voices in twos are absolutely best what can be.

[palmic]

Take your time current version is awesome :)

[HW3]

No need to rush it Vecko, I am perfectly happy with 2.0.9. Anything else will be "frosting on the cake" as far as I'm concerned.

[palmic]

I would like to share my experience with my last convoy because it could help someone with TWOS.
nothing very special, but interesting...

I was in the point of deep waters just before Edinburg, my very favorite place in eastern coast of UK..
I was pretty low on morale, because i met just fishing boats this patrole, but right now on my periodic hydrophone check i heard convoy marching from somewhere of Norway Bergen.
Beno heard nothing, my crew where more down, than me and that was something...

It was absolutelly from 72 bearing which was very directly from Bergen, so it could be Norways, i started to 4b. method - noted bearing of sound.

After next 10m i checked again, but it was the same - 72.
I decided they were moving directly against me, because i have a lot of experienced from 4b method and always, always it was changing.
Our Hydrophone simply dont have a chance to hear signal which is so distant to not move in 10 minutes if it is not directly against you.

So i decided - hearen from 72 -> +180 = their course is 252.

You know i was wating for them and from RAOBF i found they was 256!
Which means the same, you are never exact from hydropphone, but this was so near, you would not need to move if you waould be prepared.

So i was just prepared for attack from north. I fired all 4 from my 7a and sunk 2.
Torpedoes settings was fast, magnetic pistol, depth 5,5m, because their draft was about 6m and there was 9kts wind, table about recomended minimum depth relevant to current wind is in table just above speed tables.
If you attack convoy, you can use they have the same course and at 90% even the same speed, so target just one, or two ships, one is enough, and then fire even all 4 torpedoes just with the same solution on 4 targets - it will work perfectly.

Convoy was unprotected and since i knew they were 6kts and i knew their course, i just moved bellow them by hydrophone, i set their course and continued next kms bellow them hidden from marching escorts.
I was lucky, because when my torpedoes started to explode, they turned in course whicih was very good for me - i was between their course and them, so i was given a chance to wait for them to join them from bellow...
This i never expected - Convoy noise hide me even when i was between convoy and arriving escorts, so i could use max speed and even load new torpedoes. They didn't notice me!!!

After maybe 1h, i left my route bellow convoy to the left (south) checking my distance from them by periscope and emerged far enough....
Attack continued after a while...

To be short, i was sunk, since i shadowed a conwoy, destroyer emerged before us and Depp said nothing, so we saw destroyer just 2kms before us and next was comming.

I was fighting whole night with their hydrophones (from saturday to sunday), but they were maybe more, than 4 above me.... after maybe 30 minutes when most of them were moving out, i decided its clear, opened a door between sound engineers and bridge and in that moment Johny Walker heard me - one of them was still waiting for me, totally quite to get me when i move... even after such long time...

They sunk me, it was clearly lost fight.
This is something i like good sim for. Sometimes, you have no chance at all. :up:

Similar situation for me.

After dropping off a spy at Londonberry, I decided to head for Rockall. I cruised for two days searching, and searching, and...searching.

Heading back towards Londonberry, tc dropped to 1. 0430. First Officer said contact at 122 degrees distance 15200 kms.

Turning dur east, I inceased speed to 14 kts. Eventually sighted convoy heading ENE at 11kts.

Ahead flank! Course 65.

2hrs getting ahead enough to approach convoy at 130 degrees.

Decks awash.

5 escorts and 12 ships.

Decided to approach from 130 degrees.

I did manage to sneak in between the two port side escorts.

All stop.

Periscope depth (14 meters as this leaves periscope maybe 1 meter above waterline)

Sighted and fired 2 "fish" at the first ship second row. (sunk)

Fired 2 more "fish" second ship, outer row. (sunk)

Had enough time to reload one more fish.

Sighted, fired "fish" at third ship second row. (sunk)

Escorts started echo sounding.

Ahead slow, depth 70 meters!

It took them about 30 minutes to find me.

D/C's for the next hour.

Drop down to 100 meters. They still found me!

Drop down to 120 meters ordered "Silent Running"!

Damn engine room! I was running at 2 knts. Silent running speed went to 3 knts.

Ordered 1 kt.

Another hour of d/c's.

After about 3 hours, sound guy shows they are moving away, slowly.

Wait another 30 minutes to be sure.

Order 14 meters, ahead slow.

Pop to periscope depth, raise scope.

OH S**T!

V&W DD less than 20 meters away. "Crash Dive!"

Hi Sandman
Damn engine room! I was running at 2 knts. Silent running speed went to 3 knts.I use this setting of 1 knot so I have a hot key I can press at anytime.
Very useful when escorts are present and for adding a few metres to the final attack position.

Nice to know :up:, but i cant change the hotkey!? Still "M"..any idea?

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi excel
It maybe because you did not disable your mods first (Stand alone version only).
Open the hotkey and change to the letter you want to use.
I am currently using V as I am using Church's keyboard mod which uses the arrow keys.
If you are using the default keyboard W-A-S-D then you can use the letter U as it is not being used.
Make the change and save it.
Go to your mods folder and open v2.00 > data > menu > scripts > py file at the bottom of the list.
Scroll down to Fuel.
You can see highlighted the V letter I am using.
Enter your letter in the same place and then save the file.

F8 (silent running for me), puts the engines on 55 RPM and, submerged, the speed is ever 1 knot. I don´t touch anything about it in OFEV.

Is anywhere some full description everything what silent running does?
I thought its just "crew silencer" which adds some factor to silent if you have DDs just above you, so i used it very rarely.
I simply just toggled engine to 1-3 based on situation...

Finished the campaign with TWOS a few months ago and decided to uninstall the mod and SH5.
Installed it today again, and installed the mod following the instructions to my best capability.
Now, i start the game, and i try to start a new campaign, everything works fine and i get to the loading screen. It then crashes/shuts down after loading for some 20-30 seconds.
Tried reinstalling both game and mod, same problem again.

Did i mess the installation up or do you have any other clues?
Desperate for help, thanks.

Hi SiggeMan!
Before you install SH5, you must delete the folder:
C: \ Users \ YourName \ Documents \ SH5

Torpedo

P.S. Ops, Muckenberg has already given you the answer

[Muckenberg]

You must not forget that you have your game stored on the Ubi server, so it is necessary to remove the saved games directly from your game, otherwise the game will still be able to retrieve the stored positions from the Ubi server.

Hi Hanz :Kaleun_Salute:

Not sure why you are getting updates every 20 seconds, don't think I get that many, if anything I get the occasional time when the WO spots convoys on the late side after I can see them clearly on the horizon and with T.C. I can get landed next to a Destroyer 500m away but as I say that's not too common. In respect of the WO updates I would have to time it to give a more definitive answer

That said I have 100% not had anything like "Mod Breaking" issues with over exuberant Crew members, so I can't agree on that remark.

Yes there is follow target . Its the icon with circle on it when at station , If you click on the first button to the left at Hydro station you get Hydro Follow target options where you can set how often you get reports Distance/Degrees etc
You need to get below 30m to get contacts at longer range

Thanks a lot for all your job on wolves of steel i love to play SH5 with this mod

Did you check install instructions?

Installation:
1. Install "The Wolves of Steel 2.0.9a_Update.exe" to your main Silent Hunter 5 install folder (e.g. "C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5"). Make sure to specify correct path when asked. After the installation, your Generic Mod Enabler will start automatically.
2. Deactivate all activated mods with your JSGME except "The Wolves of Steel 2.0.0" main mod.
3. Enable the Update 2.0.9a 2nd in your activated modlist, right after the "The Wolves of Steel 2.0.0" main mod, like this:

The Wolves of Steel 2.0.0
The Wolves of Steel 2.0.9a Update
[other optional TWoS 2.x.x mods/addons]
.
.


* Enable the update in port.
* Update 2.0.9a contains changes from all previous updates. Remove/delete previous update(s) from your JSGME.
* Captains who have started their careers with TWoS v2.0.1 and later can ignore following note:
Some changes from v2.0.1 Update require campaign restart in order to be correctly activated. Otherwise, you may end up with somewhat messed up submarine/crew performances in your current campaign play trough ( increased batt. discharge/recharge times, old crew abilities bonuses) until you receive new U-Boat offer in your current career at which point the game will "fix" it self. If you aren't annoyed by this fact, you are free to continue your current career since no other issues are to be expected. [Link for workaround (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=231387)]


*DO NOT add any additional mods if you are not 100% sure what you are doing! Most of the standalone mods are incompatible with this expansion.

Hello Wolves
I was looking at the individual ships in the museum, and there was a big transport lit litter near Sweden. Is there any chance of adding it as a non-illuminated ally? Also I miss another hospital ship? Will you add offshore warships, even merchant ships?
I believe he will win over this ninth and we will have it in pairs.
One more question. A very nice auxiliary cruiser pinquin was added to the game, and he is also well armed. Unfortunately, we can not say about the remaining two Kriegsmarine auxiliary cruisers. I know there is a mod on this weapon, do you think it would be in the future if it will add this cruiser bike without any problems?

HN convoys operated between Norway and GB until April 1940 and especially in last two months, as you can see on this link...http://www.warsailors.com/convoys/hnondates.html

It was just lucky coincidence that this convoy was unescorted, usually they are spawned in game with 1-4 escort ships...

Some ships can not be imported because of incompatibility with some important Generic Patcher's functions, which can lead to CTD.

A very nice auxiliary cruiser pinquin was added to the game, and he is also well armed. Unfortunately, we can not say about the remaining two Kriegsmarine auxiliary cruisers. I know there is a mod on this weapon, do you think it would be in the future if it will add this cruiser bike without any problems?
I tried something but It seems that their M nodes (for guns) which are hidden behind hull are not functional...I'll check again though...:yep:

EDIT
Correction...Guns can be added but they will be permanently hidden behind the ship's hull...

Hello
So it is a great shame that some ships will not go into the game. I will look forward to the war ships. Will we have to re-launch a new career when updating with warships?
Yes, I meant this mode. He immediately likes it more. Will not these cannons be displayed on merchant ships from Cerbero mode?
Would it be a big problem to change the texture of water geysers after the explosion of the deep charge? These geysers are so unnatural to SH5 graphics.
I apologize for my English and constant questions. :)

I know this is not historically correct, but I like to see some Olympic class liner (troop transport) in TWoS. I have the VonDos Titanic in GWX (SH3), scripted and works very fine. Nice to see (for me) the old lady in SH5....(BTW, I have a Lusitania, too).

The french BB is awesome, looking forward to see it in TWoS.

I see ALL the Museum with v2.09a in one session, without CTDs. :Kaleun_Applaud: Only a little more time to charge the submarines, specially germans. But all works fine. I think this is reflected in campaign and the new ships will work nicely in it. Now doing HT and I can´t see the new ships in ports (I´m in the middle of the Atlantic).

Many thanks for the fantastic work and best regards.

Sirens are already in Wolves but I can always welcome new and more cool sounds...:yep:

Sorry, that is a feature that I had in mind for a long time, maybe I even discussed it with you a few dozens of months ago, but I had missed your implementation of it. I watched your presentation video btw. I probably might suggest some improvements, like sirens customized by nation (the one heard in your video is actually the red warning used by the British), the warning starting a few minutes before the actual raid and lasting a bit longer, etc, but all in all the the effect sound very cool indeed :up:

Well done :yeah:

Some ships can not be imported because of incompatibility with some important Generic Patcher's functions, which can lead to CTD.

What ships? what features? Can I help with them? Maybe we can remove the conflicting features rather than discarding the units that they are found in...


I tried something but It seems that their M nodes (for guns) which are hidden behind hull are not functional...I'll check again though...:yep:

EDIT
Correction...Guns can be added but they will be permanently hidden behind the ship's hull...

Is that one of the stock auxiliary cruisers?
How were those recessed guns supposed to fire (in reality and in game)? :hmm2:

[SS Norholm]

Did you check install instructions?

Oh dear! *Raises hand sheepishly*

Vecko, I usually follow your install/updates to the letter, however I missed that post of yours and installed the new update from link in your signature.

I didn't see the part about 'Install update in port'.
I installed it during my Atlantic Air Gap patrol....mid Atlantic.

However I didn't have any problems, and I completed the second 48hr patrol zone objective without a hitch.
I didn't see or hear a single ship, but I just put that down to bad luck, and that area being like searching for a needle in a stack of needles.

To Gap: I thought you asked what the real auxiliary cruisers looked like.
Otherwise in combat, these cruisers actually functioned as Q-ships. Their weapons were masked and unmasked immediately before their own struggle. So, in the case of the Ubi-auxiliary cruisers, side aprons would open and guns would fire.
If I could get the weapons and shells on the auxiliary cruisers working, I think it would be really a masterpiece.:yeah::yeah:

Mostly SH3/GWX ships...The game crashes if certain simact patches are enabled (RPM inertia IIRC). I tried everything including creating new controllers from scratch in goblin but nothing...

Unfortunately there are not game controllers which can be used for hiding guns in their "unmanned state" and unhiding them when the ship enters in alert state. I can think of some workaround methods for making containers and crates to open up when an enemy unit is in firing range, thus disclosing the gun hidden in them, but I have no idea how we could make a recessed gun to be rised and lowered according to needs

Make the "side panel" of the ship part of the "turret" for the gun?

[gap]

Make the "side panel" of the ship part of the "turret" for the gun?

Well, if that's the way it worked (my original question was exactly about that), with some adjustements your idea might work: we should separate the gun doors from the ship model, and tricking the game into thinking that they are the muzzle of a gun pointing straight upward in its rest position, and with training arc set to 0. When/if the ship tried to aim its gun toward a possible target, we would possibly see the hinged door opening. This method is a bit tricky, but it could actually work :hmmm:

Maybe you could replace at least some of them with "dummy" copies of the same units, set as land units or as terrain objects :03:

What do you mean by "dummy" copies Gap?

[propbeanie]

He might be thinking like what Lurker did in RSRDC in SH4, in that he made a few ships as copies, but set to be "Environmental" objects, and set them to be invisible so that they could be used as "targets" for the SpecOps Photo Recon missions, but in this case, you'd use them as visible, "stationary" docked ships. ?? - maybe... :lol:

This does sound a bit like SH4 with docked ships, where the sea movement will cause the ship to drift, and if you're setting them yourself, you have to "merge" the layers (without Save, of course), so that you can "see" where you are placing things, compared to each layer. If a particular file runs throughout the game with multiple spawns to occur into the same dock "space", then you run into issues when the game detects a ship has "moved" and spawns another in the original's space, even though in actuality, it's only drifted a few feet. Then they "bump" each other around and try to avoid "collisions" with each other, and you can have all sorts of mayhem occurring, including ships "merged" into docks and other shore side emplacements - not forgetting the fire and destruction of some of the "collisions"... Stock SH3 and SH4 are very similar in this regard. I wouldn't be surprised to find that SH5 is done the same way in stock trim. The HarborTraffic files are the worst in SH4, but the NavalBases aren't too far behind...

That's how I set static AI subs in ports in the first place, neutral environmental units...I had to do that in order to bypass some long standing harbor CTD issues probably caused by IRAI mod.

Sea movement is not the problem here, it is some strange AI subs property which makes them to punch the throttle for a few seconds when you get close to harbor.

He confirms :03:

There are two ways "inert", "dummy" or "phantom" ships (or whatever you want to call them, IIRC in OHII they were initially named "Z ships") can be set: either as a pieces of landscape (like harbors, house, etc.), or as land units. In both cases the ships won't picth and roll, and they won't drift. The latter method maybe is a bit better, because it will enable you to set docked ship's appearance/disappearance dates, and to customize vessel's appearance through their eqp files. Moreover, depending on what national roster they are assigned to, they can be made to be attacked during enemy air raids, though they wont return fire due to the SH5 limitation that we know.

Now that you make me to think about it: are our "floating coastal defenses" affected by the same problem? Their position relative to the seabottom was critical: move them a few cm toward shallower waters, and they will become as stuck as normal ships :hmmm:

That's how I set static AI subs in ports in the first place, neutral environmental units...I had to do that in order to bypass some long standing harbor CTD issues probably caused by IRAI mod.

So that was the reason for Type II boats crashing the game if placed in ports?

No. TypeII was a different story. From some reason it's fx file couldn't work with the rest of the game. I removed it and the result is AI type IIs buzzing around Baltic, North Sea and Black Sea without any CTDs...

Hey man so I am using Windows 10 and I have the uplay version of SH5(formerly Steam version). So far no issues with the game until I went to the generic patcher step and checked all of the coding and it matched then I saved it and opened the patcher exe file and followed the File and open instructions however once I hit the first out of the 20 some enters a red message appeared and it said that they do not match stating byte numbers are different. Anyway so I kept hitting enter ignoring it and it continues after almost all "yes" options then I checked to see if it matched and I only had two of them appear out of some 8 or so on your snapshot. So I stopped Uplay thrn did it again but no dice then I restarted my PC and still it persisted. So i decided the hell with it and moved continuing the remaining steps on but now I cannot load my new campaign It has a loading screen but then nothing

I agree with Palmic, it so much more realistic, Disabling Real Nav is ok just to get the hang of the basics

[jibouil]

I think you need to train before.

you need to know how to use 4 bearing, RAOFB, how to use TDC.

And after it's nice to go on the real navigation. No ?

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi j
It's not that complicated once you start to understand what you need to do.
You can still do a fast 90 degree shoot by using your own course and the targets.
The Option File Edtor Viewer can be set up to give you the true bearing and the targets course, all you need to do is find the speed.
You do not need to use the stadimeter or identify the target.
Position 800 to 1000 metres from the target.
Set your periscope cross hair at 0 is AOB 90 degrees.
The targets speed and torpedo speed will give you the lead angle for the periscope bearing firing position with the 2 dial arrows pointing verically.
Enter the speed, AOB, range 1000 metres in the TDC manually.
The 4 bearing method and RAOBF wheel are not essential for real navigation they are just options that are there for those who wish to use them.
This is just a brief outline of what can be done and you can play real navigation without 100% difficulty until you are ready.

You can report a sighted convoy/ ship by your radioman. Then B.D.U. tells you to hold contact and not to attack the sighted ship until reinforcement arrives.
Then after a while your watch officer will report you that a sub is sighted, one of your own.

But you wont get any further reports from B.D.U., so what the new sub will do you will never find out. :-?

I read lorka42 topic and I configure a program. Waiting for next instruction ;) Thanks!

@Cyborg 332 Someone answered earlier , those mods are already installed .
The Wolves of Steel - Documentation folder is full with mods, maybe you are mistaking it with other folder .


Those are just credits and readme files of various mods included in TWoS, not the mods it self of course...Why would I place mods inside "Documentation" folder anyway ?

Oh , i see :) , thanks !

Ok. Now You have to open Cameras.gr2 file with goblin editor and merge corresponding Cameras.cam file (both placed in data/Library folder).

Then, adjust "AngularAngle" values for both Dummy_Cam_Obs_Periscope and Dummy_Cam_Periscope bones untill your RAOBF calculations are correct. You can test your new settings in RAOBF test mission for example.

EDIT
When you set your measured angular height of Renger tanker from RAOBF mission to be exactly 8,2 deg, you are good to go and your calculations will be correct for all other ships as well...

how do you change to sh 3 ui?

[ThePrody]

Guys, how do you rate the AI compared to the mega mods of sH3 like GWX or NYGM?
How good are the enemies at detecting your uboat? How efficient are the escorts? I'm curious about stuff like that, so far the game looks beautiful and is very stable .

[Cyborg322]

It would be maybe good to prepare new standalone installation of current version.

There is some mod in twos, which was renamed and after installation of current update it's duplicated. It has to be confusing for new players as hell.

General 21:9 format is fully playable, but I had a problem with proper calculation via RAOBF - not shure if still is a good, but it's better.

If this mod will be available I can help to improve it. In my opinion FOV on first person is little too big. But Im not sure what dummy_cam is responsible for this.

How much did you measure for Ranger tanker in RAOBF mission? 8,something deg?

How much did you measure for Ranger tanker in RAOBF mission? 8,something deg?

I played a tutorial for RAOBF and after a tutorial there is possible to check random ship. My calculations for range are +/- 100m with one is good but AoB is bad +/- 15º this is too high to prepare a good shoot.

Still a small question. There is a mod on the Subsim that adds the Gneisenau Battlecruiser after the 6x381. Do not you think you would add it to your war-ship update?
I still have a German 1936 class destroyer, I think it's from TDW's Magnum Opus. If you would like to add this Destroyer I would like to give you the files.

Hi all,

Downloaded the mod two days ago and totally in love with it.
I have just two questions:

1) what shall I do when Enigma is using a wrong year? (I started the Baltic Operations in 1939, received a message, went to decode but Enigma is set at 1941)

2) Is it normal when I give engine orders underwater, it respondes always with a notch less than the one I ordered? (I.e. I click on 3, which is full ahead, but indicator stops on 2)

Thanks

1) Enigma: You can scroll the years directly over the indicated "year icon".

2) Yes, thats normal and no problem at all because the speed of the sub will be the selected one so you can ignore this little bug.:salute:

HN convoys operated between Norway and GB until April 1940 and especially in last two months, as you can see on this link...http://www.warsailors.com/convoys/hnondates.html

It was just lucky coincidence that this convoy was unescorted, usually they are spawned in game with 1-4 escort ships...

I've just found the link above and I must say that I'm sometimes quite surprised how much SH5 campaign files are actually historically correct...:yep:

Thanks for the nice Link Vecko and sure for the new update! :up::salute:

I read that at that times the escorts supported the convoys about 300sm from Norway to England and got again support about 300sm at the east side from England. So it was a "realistic bug" when i found this convoy in the middle of the north sea without escorts. :D
Nine ships sunk btw., hope the sailors reached the country but sure..the chances where small - war is hell.

At the left bottom corner directly on the Enigma machine itself you can read the Year on a yellow background. Just move your cursor over there and scroll with the mouse wheel - thats all. :salute:

I meant that I am searching for a 21:9 resolution too. I have 3 monitors here but SH isn't working with that resolution (5792x1080). It would be AWESOME to simulate it on all 3 monitors (triple screen).

THX ALOT :D:up:

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi MCM
5792 that is a strange number?
I would have expected to see a 5760 resolution.:hmmm:
Peter

[MCM]

exactly right! But I have a brezel correction that brings it up to this. 5760x1080 would be the case, the rest is done via the nvidia drivers.

Hi Jibouil :Kaleun_Salute:

The Navigator reports Position and the Radar/Radioman sends Status reports. 2 ways of doing it 1. thru Dialogue With Dieter EPP 2. By the Crew interaction Icons bottom middle of screen. you should then stop getting messages from BDU ( Highlighted in Blue )

I did have a problem with not being able to use the Icon route myself the option was not available but this was resolved with 1 off the updates. I'm still on v 2.09a (I found a way of using EMCCD with bugging out) so I don't know if same problem has emerged again

I recently downloaded and have just finished my first mission in the mod enjoying it very much. Is it still recommended to do a full fresh SH5 install when going from 2.0 to 2.09c. Docked in Kiel at this time. Would like to keep my present career going. Great work on the mod.

[excel4004]

Yep! On the way to Färöer Islands with TWoS 2.09c on board! :salute::D


Vecko, i the past you wrote that its not necessary to save and reload the game when entering the port. You said you were able to fix the stability problems.

But whats about.. Occasional save and complete restart of the game in between the actions/encounters or when approaching an area with potentially dense sea/air traffic is highly recommended (at least once in ~72h of sim time)! Its still necessary to start the game after 72h sim time and what does starting mean. Its ok when saving the game and getting back to game menu and reloading the saved game, or does it mean leaving the game to desktop and starting the game new by sh.exe?

and.. Ease your TC and try to limit duration of your playing sessions while operating in areas with dense air and sea traffic (like Baltic, North Sea, Mediterranean , British coastal waters, Bay of Biscay after 1943 ect). Fail safe midnight gamesave every ~48h of sim time is also highly recommendedAlso still necessary and if it is so can you pls explain why? Thanks a lot.

[THEBERBSTER]

Hi Diesel
Is it still recommended to do a full fresh SH5 install when going from 2.0 to 2.09c. Only if you want to have the full benefit of the update.
You would however need to start a new career.
If you want to keep your existing career then when you move to the next campaign you will get the full benefit of the update.
Personally I would start a new career as the Baltic Operation first mission is quite short and I would already have a certain amount of experienc doing it a second time that would be useful.
Peter
