If a complete uninstall is done the stand alone the OFEV application is unaffected by this.
When the re-install is done just follow the instructions from Picture 10 to Picture 14.

No “Binoculars” were used in these tests.

Icons are to be read from the right to left for numbering purposes.

1st Test using “Dieter Epp” Officer on the bridge

1. Give the order to officer on the bridge to > “M.T.D.G. (This will bring the Gun Crew on to the Deck)

2. Watch Officer > Icon 1

3. Battle Stations > Icon 5

4. Crew on Deck > Icon 10

5. M.T.D.G. > Icon 4 (This will already be yellowed)

6. Deck Gun > Icon 8

7. F.A.W. > Icon 9

8. Hold Fire > Icon 8

9. Battle Stations > Icon 5 (Will reposition the Deck Gun properly)

10. Give the order to officer on the bridge to > Secure The Deck Gun.

Note 1: The “Battle Station” icon is essential before and after.

Note 2: Before the Gun automatically fires there is a slight time delay
which can be explained as “Time to receive the order to fire”.

Note 3: Do not use F7 Battle Stations. Battle Stations must be from the “Watch Officer”

2nd Test only using the icons from the “Watch Officer”

1. Watch Officer > Icon 1

2. Battle Stations > Icon 5

3. Crew On Deck > Icon 10

4. M.T,D.G. > Icon 4

5. Deck Gun > Icon 8

6. F.A.W. > Icon 9

7. Hold Fire > Icon 8

8. Battle Stations > Icon 5 (This will secure the Deck Gun in the proper position)

Notes 1 – 2 – 3 all apply to test 2

Note 4: There is no way to remove the “Deck Gun Crew” from the “Deck Gun”

If the officer on the bridge is given the order to “M.T.D.G. and then the order “S.T.D.G. The “Deck Gun” will not be positioned correctly.

The “Deck Gun Crew” will normally fire at the nearest target. When this is destroyed they will automatically reposition the “Deck Gun” and start firing at the next nearest target. The “binoculars can be locked on to select the target of your choice using the above instructions. It is not necessary for the “Binoculars to be looking at the target once firing has commenced.

Instructions > How To Fire The Deck Gun Manually.

“Main Menu” select “Options”

Selecting “Game Play Settings” will change the way the “Deck Gun” operates.

No Deck Gun Projectile Path

When this Box is Ticked.

1. No Green Gun Sight.

2. No Shell will be seen on the TAI Map

No Deck Gun Projectile Path

Box Not Ticked

1. Green Gun Sight will be the first Gun Sight showing.

2. Your TAI Map will show where your Shells are falling.

It is essential that the “Battle Station” order is given by the Watch Officer Icon 1.

If this is not done then the “Deck Gun Crew” will not place the “Deck Gun” in the correct position after leaving it.

(Before) You give the orders then either “Walk” or “Teleport” to the “Deck Gun”.

1. Watch Officer > Icon 1

2. Battle Stations > Icon 5

3. Crew On Deck > Icon 10

4. M.T.D.G. > Icon 4

(Or After) You now either “Walk” or “Teleport” to the “Deck Gun”
Then give the above orders.

When you get to the “Deck Gun” you will see a “Green Gun Sight”. (Depending on your “Game Play Settings).

To “Traverse” the gun and “Elevate” it is all done by moving your mouse.

There is an annoying glitch that causes you to lose your “Deck Gun Crew”. This happens when the U-boat is pitching up and down. You will notice this when you cannot move the “Deck gun” from side to side.

To call the “Deck Gun Crew” back you need to do the following every time this happens.

1. Crew On Deck > Icon 10

2. M.T.D.G. > Icon 4

Leave your “Icons” showing so that you can see them.

Any “Yellowed Icon” is active.

The second way to fire the “Deck Gun.

Click on the “Gun Sight” in the top left corner.

This opens the “Standard Gun Sight”.

Click on the “Gun Sight” again in the top left corner.

This opens up the “High Power Gun Sight”

Moving your mouse will move the “Deck Gun” from left to right (Traversing)

Using your mouse wheel will raise and lower the “Deck Gun” (Trajectory)

There are 3 types of “Ammunition” available.

1. A.P. > Armour Piercing.

2. H.E. > High Explosive.

3. A.A. > Anti Aircraft

The amount of “Ammunition” available is shown under each shell.

To select the shell type just click on it with your mouse.

1. Place the “Deck Gun Sight Crosshairs” on the target.

2. Adjust the “Elevation”

3. Press the “Space Bar” to “Fire”

You will see in the “Message Box” “Gun Loading”

If you look at the “Shell” you will see it filling up.

You can keep pressing the “Space Bar” down and still move your mouse.

The next “Shell” will then “Fire” immediately when the “Deck Gun” has loaded.

You will need to learn when to “Fire” so as to take in to account the rise and fall of the u-boat.

I would suggest that you test your “Gun Practicing” by going to “Historical Missions” and selecting “Bullet Spark Test” and select “Start”.

This will give you 2 Merchants to practice your shooting on.

When you have finished “Firing” altogether click on the “Red X” in the “Top Right Corner”

You can either “Walk” or “Teleport” back to the “Bridge”

To finish

1. Watch Officer > Icon 1

2. Battle Stations > Icon 5 (Yellowed)

Using the “Officer on the Bridge” “Dieter Epp” will mess with the “Deck Gun” being placed correctly when you give him the order “Secure The Deck Gun”

Steam needs "Evaporating" get the Dvd if you can or otherwise consider a download version which will be cheaper.

With a dvd you actually own it and it is easier to re-install.

Before loading the Dvd. Make sure that you leave no trace of Steam on your system.

Use a registry cleaner like "Ccleaner" and restart your system afterwards.

Go to your start button and use search and check again for any left over SH5.

If you find anything delete it and run the registry cleaner again.

If you already have a Uplay account play it safe and set up a new one for your new Silent Hunter 5 installation. This will come up at the end of the installation.

If you want to play the game with the 'German Voices' then choose the 'Custom' install.

After the install go to the following folders.

In the path Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Data\Support\GameUpdater

There is a "GU" exe application that will update your game to v1.2

Yes it is a good idea, I have had a look but cannot see how you would do it. It would also really need a new heading "Tutorials" so they would be found easily.

I am just working on a new tutorial that I will be posting soon on the "4 Bearing Method". Quite involved already spent over 10 hours on it.

The best I can offer at the moment is an email Word attachment. Just let me know your email address and what you are interested in and I will happily send it to you. This goes for anybody else who would prefer a word document.

If you have "Word" of course all you need to do is "shade the text" then "copy and paste" to a blank Word document, take out any coloured background and change the font etc to your liking.

just send me a PM with your email address.

Best wishes Peter

Have you thought about making in-game tutorials? The script engine I made for SH5 (Automation) has many commands devoted just for making tutorials. In-game tutorials offer a greater learning experience because the user is actually using the game AND the controls necessary to do whatever the tutorial is teaching them. You get visual as well as physical interaction by the player. There are text files located in \data\Automation and data\Tutorials that explain all the current Automation commands available.

If you have ideas for new commands just let me know and I'll see what I can do :up:

4 Bearing Method by ‘Kuikueg’ and Videos by ‘Stoianm,’

Step By Step Tutorial

This method can be used with ‘Real Navigation’ or with ‘Map Contacts.’

This is a very useful ‘Attack Plan’ if you are in ‘Fog’ and will not be able to see a ‘Visual Contact.’

‘Stoianm’ has produced his ‘Tutorial Videos in 4 parts.’

In his ‘Tutorial’ Stoianm is using ‘Real Navigation’ and the ‘Hydrophone.’

There is nothing to say if you want to use the ‘Periscope’ at any time then that is up to you.

The ‘Kuikueg Method’ does not use the ‘True Bearing Method’ and also uses the ‘Protractor’ as the main tool rather than the ‘Compass.’

Important Note.

Please note that if you are using the ‘Stock Keyboard with W - A – S – D’ then you will not be able to use the ‘Z Key’ as this is used for ‘Rig For Silent Running.’ You will need to use the ‘Sonar Station’ or use ‘Follow Nearest Contact.’

Stormys_DBSM_ SH5_ V1.3 mod has the ‘Z Key’ function.

Stormys_DBSM_ SH5_ V1.3_Hotfix_3 (essential mod).

As ‘Stormy’ uses ‘German Language’ in his mod you will also need to download this mod if you do not want to make manual changes in your ‘Silent Hunter Files.’

Link to YouTube Video 1 (Time 14 minutes)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD3aMoZxaLI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD3aMoZxaLI)

My part in this Tutorial can be used with the ‘YouTube Videos’ and also as a ‘Stand Alone Tutorial.’

This might seem complicated but trust me it is not.

Just look at the video’s and it will all fall in to place.

All ‘Calculations’ and ‘Data’ are taken from the videos.

1. Set the ‘Speed’ to > 0 Knots.

2. Set the ‘Depth’ to > 19 metres.

3. Order the ‘Navigator’ to calculate our new position.

4. This needs to be done as ‘Stoianm’ is playing ‘Real Navigation’ at 100% and only our last plotted position is showing on the ‘Navigation Map’ and needs to be updated.

5. Go to the ‘Hydrophone Station’and search for a ‘Contact.’

6. ‘Contact’ found.

7. Send the Crew to ‘Battle Stations.’

8. Show the ‘Stopwatch.’

9. Press the ‘Z Key’ and start the ‘Stopwatch.’

10. ‘Contacts Bearing’ is showing ‘258 degrees.’

11. Pressing the ‘Z key’ anytime will show the ‘Contacts Bearing’ in the ‘Message Box.’

12. The ‘Navigator’ has calculated our position as ‘30 degrees.’

13. Take the ‘Ruler’ and draw out ‘30 degrees.’

14. Our ‘First Calculation’ will be 360 – 258 = 102 degrees on our ‘Left Side.’

15. Take the ‘Protractor’ ‘Zoom Out’ and draw ‘102 degrees.’

16. Now take the ‘Ruler’ and draw a line ‘On Top’ of the ‘Protractor Line’ near to the top of the ‘Protractor Line’ and down to the ‘U-Boat Mark.’ ‘Zoom Out’ so as to make an accurate mark.

17. Now take the ‘Compass’ and place this ‘On Top’ of the ‘Ruler Line’ and down to the ‘U-Boat Mark.’ ‘Zoom Out’ so as to get make an accurate mark.

18. ‘Bearing 1’ is now showing.

19. This process happens only on the ‘1st and the 3rd Bearings.’

20. You now have to decide how much time you are going to allow between the bearings.

21. This will depend on a number of factors.

22. The further the ‘Contact’ is away and closing will allow a longer time and a more accurate end result.

23. Ideally ‘30 Minutes’ is good. This gives enough time for the ‘Contact’ to move a distance for you to get at least 5 or 6 degrees of movement between bearings.

24. Whatever time you decide that time must be the same time for all of the ‘Bearing Calculations.’

25. Use ‘Time Compression’ to move the ‘Stopwatch’ time close to the ‘30 Minute Mark.’

26. When the ‘Stopwatch Hand’ goes to ‘30 Minutes’ immediately press the ‘Z Key.’

27. We now have our information to set up our ‘2nd Bearing’ ‘263 degrees.’

28. Our ‘2nd Calculation’ will be 360 – 263 = 97 degrees on our ‘Left Side.’

29. Take the ‘Protractor’ from ‘Line 1’ and move it until you see ‘97 degrees.’

30. Now take the ‘Ruler’ and draw a line ‘On Top Of the Protractor Line’ near the to the top and then down to the ‘U-Boat Mark.’ ‘Zoom Out’ so as to get an accurate mark.

31. ‘Bearing 2’ is now showing.

32. Use ‘Time Compression’ to move the ‘Stopwatch’ time close to the ‘30 Minute’ mark.

End of Video 1

Link to YouTube Video 2 (14 minutes)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oza03yC1WJw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oza03yC1WJw)

33. When the ‘Stopwatch Hand’ goes to the ‘30 Minute Mark’ press the ‘Z Key.’

34. We now have our information to set up our ‘3rd Bearing’ ‘281 degrees.’

35. Our ‘3rd Calculation’ will be 360 – 281 = 79 degrees on our ‘Left Side.’

36. Take the ‘Protractor’ from ‘Line 2’ and move it until you see ‘79 degrees.’

37. Now take the ‘Ruler’ and draw a line ‘On Top’ of the ‘Protractor Line’ near to the top and then down to the ‘U-Boat Mark.’ ‘Zoom Out’ so as to get an accurate mark.

38. Now take the ‘Compass’ and place this ‘On Top’ of the ‘Ruler Line’ and then down to the ‘U-Boat Mark’ ‘Zoom Out’ so as to get an accurate mark.

39. ‘Bearing 3’ is now showing.

40. Move the ‘Protractor’ from the ‘3rd Bearing Line’ and move it out to the right. It does not matter where yet.

41. You will now notice that we have ‘2 Compass Circles’ passing through the ‘U-Boat Mark.’

42. With the ‘Marker’ put an ‘X’ about half way along our ‘2nd Bearing Line.’ ‘Zoom Out’ so your ‘X’ is accurately placed on the line.

43. This will be known as ‘Mark 1 on the 2nd Bearing Line.’

44. We now take a ‘Parallel Line’ by taking the ‘Compass’ and moving our ‘Compass Circle’ from ‘Line 1’ and placing it on the ‘Line 2’ ‘Mark 1’ ‘Zoom Out’ so as to get an accurate alignment.

45. We now take another ‘Parallel Line’ by taking the ‘Compass’ and moving our ‘Compass Circle’ from ‘Line 3’ and also placing it on the ‘Line 2’ ‘Mark 1’ ‘Zoom Out’ so as to get an accurate alignment.

46. What you now see is that one of the ‘Parallel Lines Crosses the 1st Bearing Line.’ and the other ‘Parallel Line Crosses the 3rd Bearing Line.’

47. Take the ‘Marker’ and ‘Mark an X’ where the lines cross each other on the ‘1st Bearing Line.’ ‘Zoom Out’ so as to get an accurate alignment.

48. This will be known as ‘Mark 2.’

49. Take the ‘Marker’ again and ‘Mark an X’ where the lines cross each other on the ‘3rd Bearing Line.’ ‘Zoom Out’ so as to get an accurate alignment.

50. This will be known as ‘Mark 3.’

51. We can now erase the ‘2 Compass Circles and the X Mark 1 on Line 2.’

52. We can see the ‘X Mark 2 on Line 1’ and the ‘X Mark 3 on Line 3.’

53. Take the ‘Ruler’ and draw a line from the ‘X on Line 1 to the X on Line 3.’

54. We can see by Zooming out that the ‘Contacts Heading is 98 degrees.’

55. Continue out to the right with your ‘Ruler at 98 degrees’ for around 30km.

56. Recheck your alignment with the ‘X Mark on Line 3’ and adjust the ‘Contacts Line’ closer to cross the ‘X Mark’ if necessary.

57. This is the ‘Contacts Heading.’

58. We are now showing a ‘New Line Crossing Line 2.’

59. Take the ‘Marker’ and ‘Mark an X’ where the lines cross each other on the ‘2nd Bearing Line.’ ‘Zoom Out’ so as to get an accurate alignment.

60. This will be known as ‘Mark 4.’

61. To take the ‘4th Bearing’ we need to move the ‘U-Boat.’

62. We know the direction that the ‘Contact is Heading’ but we do not know how far ‘Up or Down.’

63. Take the ‘Ruler’ and move your original ‘30 degrees position to 90 degrees’ out to the right side.

64. Order the ‘Course Change to 90 degrees.’

65. Order ‘Flank Speed.’

66. Order ‘Surface the Boat.’

67. Keep an eye on your ‘Stopwatch’ as you need to be ‘Dived and Stopped’ in position when the ‘Stopwatch’ reaches your last ‘30 minutes.’

68. Take the ‘Compass’ and place it on the ‘Mark 4 on Line 2.’

69. Draw the ‘Compass Out’ as far as the ‘X Mark on Line 1’ and the ‘X Mark on Line 3.’

70. If your previous measurements have been accurate you should see your ‘Compass Circle’ passing through both of the ‘X Marks.’

71. Now move the ‘Compass’ from ‘Line 2 to Line 3.’

72. You will now notice that on the ‘Contacts Heading Line (CHL)’ the ‘Compass Circle’ is crossing the ‘CHL.’

73. Take the ‘Marker’ and ‘Mark an X’ where they cross.

74. This will be ‘Mark 5.’

75. Take the ‘Protractor’ that you previously moved to the right and place it so that it crosses the ‘Mark 5’ on the ‘CHL.’

76. This is the ‘4th Bearing.’

77. Take the ‘Eraser’ and remove the ‘Compass Circle.’

78. We do not need to overlay the ‘Ruler’ on the ‘4th Bearing Line’ as shown on the video.

79. We now need to make another ‘Parallel Line.’

80. Take the ‘Compass’ and put in on the ‘End of the CHL.’

81. Draw it out and place the other end on the ‘Mark 2’ on the ‘1st Bearing Line.’

82. Keep your eye on the ‘Stopwatch’ remembering that you need to allow ‘10 Minutes’ to ‘Dive and be at 0 Knots’ so you can take the ‘Last Bearing.’

83. Now is maybe a good time to set up your ‘Torpedoes.’

84. With the ‘Torpedoes’ now set up use some ‘Time Compression’ to take us to the ‘Dive’ time.

End of Video 2

Link to YouTube Video 3 (14 minutes)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToNNiUQwMss (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToNNiUQwMss)

85. Order ‘All Stop after 20 Minutes.’

86. Order a ‘Dive to 17 Metres’ if you are only going to attack using the ‘Hydrophone’

87. Order a ‘Dive to Periscope Depth’ if you intend to view.

88. If you are now at ‘0 Knots’ we need to order our ‘Navigator’ to give us our new position.

89. The ‘Navigator’ tells us our ‘Heading is 91 degrees.’

90. When the ‘Stopwatch’ shows ‘30 Minutes’ press the ‘Z Key’ to get the latest ‘Contacts Bearing.’

91. This is now showing in the ‘Message Box’ as being ‘208 degrees.’

92. Our ‘5th Calculation’ will be 360 – 208 = 152 degrees on our ‘Left Side.’

93. You no longer need the ‘Stopwatch.’

94. Take the ‘Ruler’ and draw out our ‘91 degrees Course.’

95. Take the ‘Protractor’ and draw out ‘152 degrees’ making sure that the ‘Protractor Line’ passes through ‘Line 4.’

96. Take the ‘Marker’ and put an ‘X’ where the lines cross. ‘Zoom Out’ so as to get an accurate alignment.

97. This will be known as ‘Mark 6’ on ‘Line 4.’

98. ‘Erase’ all lines on the ‘U-Boat.’

99. On the ‘CHL’ you have the ‘Compass Parallel Line.’

100. Move this to ‘Mark 6’ on ‘Line 4.’

101. You will now see a ‘New Line Crossing’ on ‘Line 3.’

102. Take the ‘Marker’ and put an ‘X’ where the lines cross. ‘Zoom Out’ so as to get an accurate alignment.

103. This will be known as ‘Mark 7’ on ‘Line 3.’

104. ‘Erase the Old CHL.’

105. Take the ‘Compass’ and from ‘Mark 7 to Mark 6’ measure the distance.

106. We know it took ‘30 Minutes’ to travel the distance between these marks.

107. The ‘Compass’ shows that our ‘Target’ travelled ‘8,550 Metres’.

108. We now need to go to the ‘Speed Chart’ and in the ‘30 Minute Column’ we see that the speed is between ‘9 and 10 Knots’ for the distance travelled.

109. Take the ‘Compass’ that is on the ‘Mark 7’ and put it on the ‘Mark 6 on Line 4.’

110. We now have a ‘Parallel Line’ passing in front of our U-Boat.

111. Take the ‘Protractor’ and draw out a ‘90 degree’ angle from the ‘U-Boat’ to the ‘New CHL.’

112. With the ‘Protractor’ on the ‘CHL’ we see that we are ‘9 degrees’ out from the ‘90 degrees’ we are looking for.

113. You can use the ‘U-Boats Compass’ and order ‘Ahead Slow.’ I personally would use the ‘Rudder’ and watch the degrees changing.

114. With ‘1 degree’ to go order ‘Rudder Amidships’

115. It is important to get the ‘90 degree Angle Correct’ as we will be firing blind just using the ‘Hydrophone’ and the ‘Z Key.’

116. Order ‘All Stop.’

117. Use the ‘Hydrophone’ or use the ‘Z Key’ to check where our ‘Target’ is.

118. Go to the ‘TDC’ as it is time to ‘Enter Our Data.’

119. “Press the ‘Red Button’ to show ‘Green.’

120. Enter the ‘Speed 9.5 Knots’ in to the ‘TDC.’

121. Take the ‘Compass’ and measure the distance from the ‘U-Boat to the CHL.’

122. Enter ‘2,700 Metres’ in to the ‘TDC.’

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6BnS9CiqoQ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6BnS9CiqoQ)

123. Because we are firing at ‘90 degrees’ the ‘Range’ entered in to the ‘TDC’ is not critical.

124. Set the ‘AOB to 90 degrees Starboard.’

125. Press the ‘TDC Button’ to show ‘Red’ again.

126. Now we need to check the ‘Gyroangles.’

127. We want ‘Both Gyroangles Arrows’ pointing vertically ‘0 degrees.’

128. We move the ‘Periscope’ until we get the ‘Gyroangles’ we are looking for.

129. We now have the final piece of the ‘Firing Solution’ ‘347 degrees.’

130. This is what we will be looking for in the ‘Message Box.’

131. Go to the ‘Sonarman.’

132. Select ‘Follow Nearest Contact.’

133. He will give us a continuous update of the ‘Target’s Bearing.’

134. Be careful if you decide to use some ‘Time Compression’ as the ‘Target’ will close very quickly.

135. Use the ‘Z Key’ if possible which will be more accurate than the bearing the ‘Sonarman’ is giving.

136. We have ‘Torpedoes’ 1 - 3 – 4 set up for firing.

137. We are going to ‘Fire’ our ‘1st Torpedo’ when we see ‘346 degrees.’

138. Our ‘2nd Torpedo on 347 degrees.’

139. Our ‘3rd Torpedo on 348 degrees.’

140. In between the ‘Sonarman’s Bearings’ we keep pressing the ‘Z Key’ and watch the ‘Message Box.’

141. We are getting to the crucial stage now.

142. Keep pressing the ‘Z Key.’

143. ‘Fire 1.’

144. ‘Fire 3.’

145. ‘Fire 4.’

146. Up to this point you may well have been using the ‘Periscope.’

147. For those that have not then it is time to go to the ‘Sonar Station’ and listen to the sound of our ‘Torpedoes’ as they track towards the ‘Target.’

148. Set the ‘Sonar to 0 degrees.’

149. We hear ‘3 Torpedo Impacts’ without ever seeing the ‘Target.’

Due to broken OSI application which is slipped by Ubisoft to legitimate SH5 owners, many (if not all) SH5 players will experience problem which is manifested as game's inability to update gamesave Camaign.cfg file, the file which is really important for player's progress and campaign transfers.
The problem itself is best known and can be observed as infamous SH5 "tonnage bar bug"...
I have removed this distracting element from the game but even without arcade tonnage bar, the problem has another ugly side effect which is reflected in game's inability to update macro objective/campaign status. This means that upon reaching individual campaign ending date, campaign transfer will not be initiated and player will be doomed to continue without any side missions, objectives and with shipping/units settings characteristic only for early war...

However, there is workaround for this issue which will allow the player to continue campaign and which is IMO even more realistic that stock instant "jump" from patrol to bunker when final ending date of individual campaign is reached.

Before we start you should know that all SH5 gamesaves are stored in "My documents/SH5/data/cfg/SaveGames" folder and they are named something like "0000000d" or "00000001a" ect... In order to track down your game saves better, you should sort your game save folders by date modified and especially pay attention to time of the game save creation because this is the best indicator which will help you to match your silly named game save folders to those shown in in the game save/load menu.

OK, so you have reached first campaign (Coastal Waters) ending date (1st June 1940), campaign transfer failed to initialize and you have lost all objectives/mission visible in upper left corner of your navigation map. This is what you should do...

SH5 campaign progress workaround

1. Replacing files
- Make your best speed to your home port, end patrol there and make a manual game save when you enter the bunker. Note the time of the game save creation, we will call this one "Last CW save"...

- Then, restart your game and start new campaign in which you wish to continue your career using "silentotto" cheat (in this case Happy Times). Again, make a manual game save when you enter the bunker, we will call this one "HT save"...Exit the game...

- Now, go to your SH5 SaveGames folder and locate your "HT save". In it, you will find folder named "Campaign-2015-xx-xx_xxxx" with 4 files in it:
Campaign.cfg
CampaignMission.mis
CampaignProgress.cfg
CampaignMission.tsr

- Copy/paste these files from your "HT save" to an equivalent location in your "Last CW save" and overwrite all files.

Now, all necessary campaign files are replaced and we are almost done. The only thing left to do is to edit our flotilla settings located in CareerTrack.upc file. Note that flotilla settings are not necessary for CW to HT transfer because both campaigns features the same 2nd Flottila...

2. Flotilla settings
- Open with notepad CareerTrack.upc file located in your "Last CW save" and you will find there these lines responsible for flotilla settings:
Code:
[CareerTrack 1]
ID=IDCareerTrack1

[CareerTrack 1.CareerStatusHeader]
ID=ID
UserPlayerNameDisplayable=Cpt.Kurtz
CareerOptionsDate=1939-08-31 13:00:00

[CareerTrack 1.CareerStatusLast]
ID=ID
Reason=CSS_LastStatus
NameDisplayable=NULL
CurrentDate=1939-09-29 17:36:57
UniqueID=3957285610582654

CurrentSDepartureDescription=979352,6.42534e+006,1 80.777
CurrentUPCFlotillaUserPlayerUnitType=F2VIIA
CurrentDifficulty=Realistic
...
...

- Now depending on which campaign you wish to enter, you should edit your flotilla settings to match following:

for Mare Nostrum 15/03/41 - 01/12/41
Code:
CurrentFlotilla=23rdFlotilla CurrentFlotillaBase=F8Kiel CurrentUPCFlotillaUserPlayerUnitType=F8VIIC
for Western Approaches 20/03/41 - 01/12/41
Code:
CurrentFlotilla=6thFlotilla CurrentFlotillaBase=F4Kiel CurrentUPCFlotillaUserPlayerUnitType=F4VIIC
for Battle of the Mediterranean 15/12/41 - 01/09/42
Code:
CurrentFlotilla=29thFlotilla CurrentFlotillaBase=F9Kiel CurrentUPCFlotillaUserPlayerUnitType=F9VIIC
for Arctic Convoys 19/12/41 - 19/09/42
Code:
CurrentFlotilla=11thFlotilla CurrentFlotillaBase=F7Bergen CurrentUPCFlotillaUserPlayerUnitType=F7VIIC
for Operation Drumbeat 12/12/41 - 01/09/42
Code:
CurrentFlotilla=2ndFlotilla CurrentFlotillaBase=F2Lorient CurrentUPCFlotillaUserPlayerUnitType=F2VIIC
for Distant Waters 15/09/42 - 15/02/43
Code:
CurrentFlotilla=3rdFlotilla CurrentFlotillaBase=F3Toulon CurrentUPCFlotillaUserPlayerUnitType=F3VIIC
for The Black Pit 20/09/42 - 15/02/43
Code:
CurrentFlotilla=9thFlotilla CurrentFlotillaBase=F6Brest CurrentUPCFlotillaUserPlayerUnitType=F6VIIC
for Turning Point 01/03/43 - 15/06/44
Code:
CurrentFlotilla=9thFlotilla CurrentFlotillaBase=F6Kiel CurrentUPCFlotillaUserPlayerUnitType=F6VIIC41F
for Monsun Gruppe 01/03/43 - 15/06/44
Code:
CurrentFlotilla=7thFlotilla CurrentFlotillaBase=F6LaPallice CurrentUPCFlotillaUserPlayerUnitType=F6VIIC41
for The Final Years 01/07/44 - 09/05/45
Code:
CurrentFlotilla=9thFlotilla CurrentFlotillaBase=F6Wilhelmshaven CurrentUPCFlotillaUserPlayerUnitType=F6VIIC41
Save your changes and now you are ready to continue your career. Start the game, load your modified "Last CW save" , request your secondary mission and patrol grid and happy hunting!

Best regards...

Beginners Guide To Manual Targeting Fast 90 Degree Attack Setup

A Fast 90ᴼ Attack or similar terminology you may have heard of but not really understood what this actually means.
The easiest way to explain this is taking up an attack position which will give a high percentage result where you only need 3 essentials.
The Targets Speed.
Torpedo Speed.
Correct Gyro Angles of 0ᴼ of your U-Boat course to the Targets course.

You do not need to identify or lock the Target unless you wish to get information from the Recognition Manual.
Drawing a line from the Target past your U-boat gives you his Course.
You take up a position using the Protractor so you are at an angle of 90ᴼ at about 800 to 1000 meters to his Course Line.
With the Periscope at 0ᴼ you have an AOB of 90ᴼ.
You cannot shoot at that angle because by the time your Torpedo arrives the Target will have passed and you will always miss.

Click the TDC Button to go to Manual Input.
Put the Periscope at 0ᴼ.
I will assume you know how to get the Target’s speed.
Enter the Targets Speed in the TDC.
Move the AOB Dial to 90ᴼ at the Periscopes 0ᴼ Bearing.
Check whether you are entering the correct direction Port or Starboard.
Your ideal firing position should be around 800 to a 1000 meters away.
A Range must be entered in the TDC even though it is not a factor in setting up the attack, it just means something has to be entered to complete setting up the TDC.
Click on the Button to close Manual TDC.

You will notice that the AOB Dial you set at 90ᴼ will adjust as you move the Periscope automatically.
Set the Torpedo Speed ideally to fast.

Reset the Periscope Bearing so the 2 Gyro Angle Dials are both pointing at 0ᴼ.
Depending on the Torpedo Speed entered will determine the number of degrees the periscope needs to be moved to align the TDC Gyro Angles to 0ᴼ.

You Fire the Torpedoes when the Target passes across the Periscopes Vertical Cross Hair.
You need to set a depth for the Torpedoes.
You can do this by sizing how big the target is or by using the Recognition Manuals information.

Remember, the Tube Doors must be open and ready or the Attack will fail when the Fire Button is pressed.
That's it done.

This Tutorial has been written to work with ‘Stoianm’s 3 part video’s ‘How to Intercept a Convoy Received By Radio from BDU in SH5.’

This Tutorial is played ‘With’ ‘Real Navigation’. This means the U-Boat’s current position will not be known until the Navigator plots a new one.

If you are playing ‘With’ ‘No Map Contacts’ then you may also find this ‘Tutorial’ useful.

My Documented part of this ‘Tutorial’ will assist you in your own ‘Game Play’ to tell you when to make the right movements and calculations.

Video Part 1 of 3 (10 minutes)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRuVGPKrj7A (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRuVGPKrj7A)

BDU Information Received

A BDU Radio message was received at 14.28 hours (11 minutes ago)

Convoy Speed > 10 Knots

Convoy Course > 306 degrees.

U-Boat Information from the Navigator

U-Boat’s Compass Heading > 276 degrees

Range to Convoy > 86 Km

Bearing > -114 degrees (Port Side)

True Bearing > 161 degrees.

Periscope Bearing > 246 degrees.

It is important that we start plotting as soon as possible. This can be done with the ‘Game Paused.’

1. Take the ‘Ruler’ and draw the U-Boat’s ‘Heading’ of 276 degrees.

2. Take the ‘Protractor’ and draw the ‘Bearings’ 114 degrees out to the left side.

3. Take the ‘Compass’ and place it on the U-Boat and draw out the ‘Range 86 Km’ alongside the ‘Bearing Line.’

4. Take the ‘Marker’ and mark an ‘X’ on the ‘Bearing Line’ where the ‘Compass Circle’ crosses it.

5. To know where to intercept the ‘Target’ we use what is known as the ‘Multiplication Factor Formula.’

6. This is the distance from the ‘U-Boat’ and the ‘Targets distance 86 Km.’ It is divided by 86/100 = 0.86 x 3.33 = 2.86 MF (Multiplication Factor.)

7. Take the ‘Ruler’ and from the ‘X’ mark on the ‘Bearing Line’ draw out the ‘Targets Course’ of 306 degrees.

8. We know the ‘Convoys speed is 10 Knots.’

9. The calculation is going to be 2.86 MF x 10 Knots = 28.6 Km.

10. Take the ‘Marker’ and mark an ‘X’ 28.6 Km along the ‘Convoy Course Line.’

Video Part 2 of 3 (10 minutes)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt-i3iOdY4E (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt-i3iOdY4E)

11. We now need to get the U-Boat’s calculaton.

12. MF 2.86 x Our Speed 15 Knots at ‘Ahead Flank Speed’ = 42.9 Km.

13. From the 28.6 Km mark on the ‘Convoy Course Line’ take the ‘Compass’ and draw out 42.9 Km.

14. ‘Erase’ previous ‘Compass Circle.’

15. Where the ‘Compass Circle’ crosses the ‘U-Boat Bearing Line’ take the ‘Marker’ and place an ‘X.’

16. Now we need to take the ‘Protractor’ to make an angle from the ‘X’ mark on the ‘Convoy’s Course Line’ to the ‘X’ mark we have just made on the ‘Bearing Line.’

17. This shows us that the angle is ’23 degrees.’

18. We need to use this angle of 23 degrees so that we can get an intercept point on the ‘Convoy’s Course Line.’

19. Take the ‘Protractor’ and draw out 23 degrees from the U-Boat so it goes through the ‘Convoy’s Course Line.’

20. Take the ‘Marker’ and mark an ‘X’ where the lines intercept.

21. Take the ‘Eraser’ and remove all except ‘Convoy’s Course Line’ and the two ‘X’ marks.

22. The next thing we need to know is how long will it take to reach the ‘Target.’

23. Taking the ‘Compass’ and measuring the distance between the two ‘X’ marks shows that it is ‘39.3 Km.’

24. Looking at the ‘Speed Charts’ shows that the time to travel this distance is around 2 hours and 10 minutes.

25. Looking at the U-Boat clock is showing 14.28 hours.

26. 14.28 + 2.10 = 16.38 rounded to 16.40 hours.

27. To find our heading we take the ‘Ruler’ from the U-Boat down to the intercept ‘X’ mark.

28. (Alternative Option) You could of course at this point head straight down to the ‘Convoy’s Course Line’ from where you are and set up a 90 degree firing position and just wait the extra time for the ‘Convoy’ to reach you.

29. (Resuming Our Plan Of Action) This shows we need to change course to ‘185 degrees.’

30. Order ‘Ahead Flank.’

Video Part 3 of 3 (10 minutes)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jezfTrUtaKE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jezfTrUtaKE)

31. Change the ‘Message Box’ icon to ‘1TC.’

32. This is the 1st icon on the right next to the digital clock.

33. You can now use some ‘Time Compression’ but need to keep an eye on the clock.

34. At 16.00 Hours the ‘Navigator’ will automatically give a new positional fix.

35. At 16.20 hours we will order the ‘Navigator’ to fix our position.

36. We will ‘Stop’ at 16.30 hours.

37. The ‘Message Box’ is showing ‘Task Force Sighted.’

38. Go to the ’Watch Officer Icon 1’ (from right to left).

39. Go to ‘Icon 6’ ‘Nearest Visual Contact.’

40. He has now given us a bearing of ‘266 degrees’ and a range of ‘2600 meters.’

41. Order the ‘Navigator’ to give a new position fix.

42. Is it time to ‘Submerge.’

43. Your decision ‘Captain.’

44. Good Hunting.

If the speed is not shown in the ‘Message Box’ but shows ‘Slow – Medium or Fast’ always take the fastest relative speed. It is better to be early rather than late.

This John P Cromwell 45ᴼ method adapted from imperial to metric for SH5 is very useful when used against convoys, especially if you are one of those gamers who like to get inside a convoy between the lanes.

Unlike the 90ᴼ shoot where you are in front of the first convoy lane and you want to get to a target in a different lane it is quite easy to hit the wrong target.

Another advantage with this method especially if you are using the G7e type torpedo is evading the escorts who will expect the attack coming from 90ᵒ and are likely to search for you in the wrong place which can buy you some valuable time.

The formula used is the same whether the target’s speed is 5 or 25 knots.
The 2 angles always remain constant as you will see as you use it.

Getting the Target’s speed using the 3 minutes and 15 seconds method.
1. Mark an X on the targets bow.
2. Run the 3 minutes and 15 second speed method.
3. Mark an X on the targets bow again.
4. Measure the distance to both X marks i.e. 600 metres = 6 knots.
5. Draw a line through both the X Marks to make a course (TCL) past the U-boat.
6. Place a 45ᴼ angle on the top of the TCL at a convenient place.
7. Move the U-boat on to 45ᴼ line if possible or parallel to it.
8. Use the Formula below for the attack.

This is the Formula used by making a separate diagram on the navigation map. This is for reference purposes only as this has already been done for you.
1. Draw the targets covered distance i.e. 600 metres.
2. Using the protractor place the 45ᴼ angle so it rests on top of the end of the 600 metres nearest to your boat.
3. Take the Ruler and draw a line for the nearest torpedo range that you are going to use 1,700 metres.
4. The calculation is Torpedo speed Slow 28 knots x Targets speed 6 knots = 1,680 metres.
5. Place the ruler on top of the 45ᴼ protractor angle and draw out 1,700 metres.
6. Take the ruler again from the other end of the 600 metres line and draw out so it reaches the 1,700 metres line.
7. Carefully make sure that each end of the line on the end the 600 metre line and the other end on top of the 1,700 metres lines is correctly placed.
8. With the protractor make an angle on top of the 2 lines = 12ᴼ (Starboard).
9. This 12ᴼ angle is used for setting the AOB.
10. Move the periscope until it shows 0ᴼ = 45ᴼ
11. The firing point is 360ᴼ – 12ᴼ = 348ᴼ on the periscope bearing with the 2 Gyro dials vertical.
12. The AOB always starts at 45ᴼ whether Port or Starboard.
13. The AOB calculation is 45ᴼ - 12ᴼ = 33ᴼ AOB Starboard in this scenario.

Entering the data in the TDC.
1. In this scenario the target is coming from the left to right (Starboard)
2. The targets speed we know is 6 knots.
3. The torpedo speed is Slow = 28 knots for both G7a and G7e type torpedoes.
4. Enter the data in to the TDC with the periscope bearing on 0ᴼ.
5. Enter the AOB as 45ᴼ on the 0ᴼ periscope bearing.
6. With the TDC closed move the 0ᴼ bearing until you see both the 2 Gyro angle dials vertical.
7. The bearing showing is the firing point.
8. As soon as the periscope is moved the TDC will recalculate the new data automatically.
9. A range to the Target needs to entered in the TDC but has no effect in the solution.

Torpedo speeds (Multiply the torpedo speed by targets speed)
G7a 44 knots = Fast.
G7a 40 knots = Medium
G7a and G7e 28 knots = Slow

45ᴼ Attack Angle Attack > Targets speed based on 3 minutes and 15 seconds.

Formula
G7a and G7e Torpedo Speed Slow 28 Knots > AOB 45ᴼ-12ᴼ=33ᴼ Port or Starboard
Periscope Bearing Starboard >360ᴼ-12ᴼ=348ᴼ
Periscope Bearing Port >0ᴼ+12ᴼ

G7a Torpedo Speed Medium 40 Knots > AOB 45ᴼ-9ᴼ=36ᴼ Port or Starboard
Periscope Bearing Starboard > 360ᴼ-9ᴼ=351ᴼ
Periscope Bearing Port > 0ᴼ+9ᴼ

G7a Torpedo Speed Fast 44 Knots > AOB 45ᴼ-8ᴼ=37ᴼ Port or Starboard
Periscope Bearing Starboard > 360ᴼ-8ᴼ=352ᴼ
Periscope Bearing Port > 0ᴼ+8ᴼ

The easiest way to set your AOB is when the periscope bearing is showing 0ᴼ and you can easily enter 45ᴼ in the AOB dial.
Port <-- is the target traveling from Right to Left.
Starboard - -> the target is traveling from Left to Right.
It is important that the periscope bearing needs to be adjusted until both of the gyro dials needles are vertical to give you the 45ᴼ shoot. (J.P.C. is an Imperial method converted here for Metric use.)

If you would like to see this method in action then there is a tutorial here although unfortunately the quality is not particularly good but you will at least see how things evolve.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYmQoe_LYEM

Picture 1 > Setting out the convoy lanes.
https://i.postimg.cc/Cx6xZ7hc/1-Setting-out-the-convoy-lanes.jpg

Picture 2 > Setting the angle with the protractor.
The distance to the second convoy lane is 2,400 metres and is within the range for using G7e torpedoes.
This 45ᴼ angle will put you closer to the first convoy lane, so you need to be aware if there is an escort close enough it may pick you up.
This is why I would advise using this method inside a convoy as this will maximise your potential.
https://i.postimg.cc/mk653PPW/2-Setting-the-angle-with-the-protractor.jpg

Picture 3 > The periscope bearing is on 0ᴼ
The AOB will be entered as -45ᴼ
The convoy is moving from right to left = Port
https://i.postimg.cc/nzSkg6pv/3-The-periscope-bearing-is-on-0-degreea-the-AOB-will-be-45-degre.jpg

Picture 4 > The speed 9 knots and range 2,400 metres have been entered in the TDC
The periscope and TDC bearing is showing 17ᴼ as it is being tracked.
Taking the target off being tracked and moving the periscope to the 12ᴼ firing position you can then fire each torpedo where you want it to hit the target as it crosses the periscopes cross hair.
The G7e solution is 28 knots x targets speed 9 knots = formula 252 (2,520 metres)
This has already been worked out as 12ᴼ is when the torpedoes are fired.

Thanks for the comments MikeMike really appreciated.

Yes, it is a lot of hard work but I am sure no less than the modders have put into OHII and other great mods.

I just feel that the noob's and less experienced are struggling to get answers to questions and I thought it is about time someone did something about it.

This is the sort of thing I mean.

I asked this question.

I have the German Language Pack Enabled do I need to use

Speech fixes and additions (German version)

or

Speech fixes and additions (English version)

The reply was 'I do'nt' speak German.'

Why could he not just have said yes or no?

That answer does not help me at all.

I had to do a re-install so I used 'Custom' and this did away with the mod but. I still do not have the answer to my question.

I am also looking for other helpful things as I find them like in my Post #39

Again it is all in one place as I build it up.

it seems that the guys that have been around for sometime do not know about the 'Validators' or 'How to move your mods etc.

There is something here for everyone.

Best wishes Peter

Can I Skip The Silent Hunter 5 Tutorial?
Most of it yes you can.
If you are new to Silent Hunter 5 and start a new Career you will normally have to do the Tutorial (Not TWoS).

Exit the Tutorial when you hear the cinematic music by using the ESC key.
Back on the Desktop you need to make a change to your Career History cfg file.

Your ‘Career History’ is not kept in your ‘Silent Hunter 5 Files’ but is to be found in the following path:
C:\Documents\SH5\data\cfg\Career History

HasCompletedTutorial = false
You need to change > false to true.
Go to > File
Select > Save
Exit

Ok, now take a look at this.

Would it be possible for you to either post a list of all the patches / options you have enabled in the TDW Generic Patcher, or upload your own gps so that I can see what settings you have enabled to go with your mod list.

Looking at the patcher options I just don't know what has to be enabled and what is optional.

Many thanks :)

Draggable Compass Tutorial From TheDarkWraith’s Multiple UI mod By Sonarman.

I know most of the old hands will have no trouble figuring out what to do with the new drag-able
compass but here is a quick run down on it's functionality for the newer guys here.

The drag-able compass is found on the right hand side of the navigation map screen.

It has 3 key functions.
1 To determine a target’s course.
2 To determine an interception course for your U-Boat.
3 To determine an Angle on the Bow for your fire control solution.

It's method of operation is detailed below…
You can rotate the outer ring/ inner cross of the compass with the following keys…
Keys Q & C rotate outer ring/cross in 1 degree increments left/right.
Shift + Q/E rotate outer ring/cross in 5 degree increments left/right.

To find a target’s course
Drag the nav map compass on to the top of the target.

Check that the inner compass reads 0 at the top if not hit the compass (circular) button.

It’s located on the top of the nav tool menu, adjacent to the map.
Using the keys outlined above, turn the cross inside the compass to match the "tail" (the tail is actually the target’s wake - the foamy trail left by the propeller of the ship).
You can then read off the target’s course by viewing where the cross is pointing to on the inner ring of the compass.

In the picture illustrated here it is 310 degrees.

Silent Hunter 5 has 2 automated saves.
Autosave Enter Base (AEB)
Autosave In Game (AIG)

The AEB save is created when you first start a new career and when you end a patrol.
The AIG save is an automated save that is created every 25 minutes in the game.
Neither of these saves should be used to start or continue a mission/patrol.

When you end a patrol you are placed in the bunker ready to start another mission or patrol.
At this point you should use the Esc key and then Save Game to enter a manual save reference of your choice.

When the AEB save is loaded to enter the Bunker a Manual save should be made by using the Esc key and then Save Game to enter a manual save reference of your choice.
This manual save is then used to start your mission.

The AIG saves will continue to be made while your game is running by overwriting each other.
When you decide to make a manual save these AIG saves will disappear having been overwritten by your Manual save.

These Manual save practices help to keep your game stable unlike the automated ones that can become corrupted and should not be trusted.

If you are covering a long distance it is a good idea to break the journey by making a Manual save and then using Resume.

If you are in the Baltic and heading for Kiel then make a Manual save 200km from Kiel and then exit the game back to the desktop.
By doing this you will reduce the chance of a CTD due to the amount of data that had been collected before the Manual save and now of course as you near Kiel you will pick up a lot of traffic that is going to reduce your frame rate to a much lower level.

Do not make a save prior to attacking.
Manual saves should not be made within 60km of any coast line, attacker, or destroyed marks.

Manual saves should not be made when submerged unless it is unavoidable.
The periscope should be raised to view before making the Manual save.

Lost Your Bearings? > This Might Just Put You Right
There are ‘3 Bearing Types.’
1. True
2. Hydro
3. Scope

4. A ‘True Bearing’ (Inner Compass) always faces ‘N’ (North) ‘0’ or ‘360’ degrees
5. This type of Bearing is used for ‘Map Work’ and ‘Setting Headings’

6. The ‘Hydro’ and ‘Scope Bearing’ (Outer Compass) will ‘Start’ at ‘0’ and ‘End’ at ‘360’ degrees at the ‘U-Boats Bow.’
7. Any Bearing information that you receive from your ‘Crew’ will be this type.
8. The ‘Radio Man’ will give both ‘True’ and ‘Scope Bearings.’
9. The ‘Navigator’ will give ‘True Bearings’
10. The ‘U-Boats Bow’ (Inner Compass) is showing ‘90 degrees’ ‘East’ and ‘0 degrees’ ‘N’ ‘True North.’
11. If we are heading ‘90 degrees ‘East’ ‘True’ (Inner Compass) and receive information from the ‘Sonar Man’ saying there is a ‘Contact’ at ‘350 degrees’ (Outer Compass) we must convert this to a ‘True Bearing’ before it can be plotted on our ‘Navigation Map.’
12. The Scope and Hydro Bearing (Outer Compass) is showing ‘0’ degrees ‘East’ at the ‘U-Boats Bow.’
13. To ‘Convert’ to a ‘True Bearing’ we must add the ‘U-Boats Bearing’ ’90 degrees’ plus the ‘350 degrees Contacts Bearing.’
14. If the ‘Total’ passes ‘360 degrees’ we start again from ‘0’
15. The ‘Calculation’ is ‘350 + 90 = 440 – 360 = 80 degrees.’
16. The (Outer Compass) will show ‘350 degrees.’
17. The (Inner Compass) will show ’80 degrees’ ‘True Bearing.’

Why do you say never give the Torpedo Man any bonus points?:hmmm:

THEBERBSTER

04-01-14, 06:05 PM

Hi bandit

If you have a look at the points that the Torpedo Man can be awarded he is able to make changes as to how the Torpedoes will then react in the game.

This means that when you set up a firing position you cannot take into account these changes that the Torpedo Man has made.

In other words it creates a firing corruption and you suddenly wonder why your Torpedoes are starting to miss even though all your calculations are correct.

This has been removed from the TWOS installation and is no longer necessary.

When a New Career is started for the first time you are automatically taken to the Stock Tutorial so The Career History File can be created.

It is not necessary to complete the Stock Tutorial as this can be changed manually unless you wish to gain some experience of using SH5 maybe for the first time.
If the Tutorial is completed then the Career History File will then automatically show 'true' and has been completed.
If the Tutorial is exited the Career History file will be created but the Tutorial will show as 'false' not completed.
Simply changing 'false to 'true' and then saving the file completes the setup.

If an uninstall has been done without the Saved Games SH5 folder being kept then the Silent Hunter 5 Tutorial would normally have to be done again.
Saving the Career History CFG File by Copying and Pasting it to a safe place will help you at any future time should you need to reinstall Silent Hunter 5.
The Career History File is removed along with all the other files when a full uninstall is selected.

Once Silent Hunter 5 has been reinstalled it is just a case of Copying and Pasting the Career History CFG File back to its original position.

The Career History File can be found in the following path:
C:\Documents\SH5\data\cfg\CareerHistory CFG File

File path to Career History CFG File's position.

Yes, Leave him well alone.

Any Bonus points will corrupt your firing solution.

You will be wondering why you keep missing the target.

If the 'Deck Gun' is fired by the 'Crew' then it is beneficial to give them the points as they will become more accurate and load quicker.

If you always fire the gun then the points are wasted so giving at least some of them to your Sonar Man will have benefits.

4 Bearing True Method Tutorial > Step By Step Instructions
It is recommended that you use this ‘Documented Tutorial’ in conjunction with the ‘First Part’ of the mod ‘Trevally Tutorial – All v0.2 (for OHII v1.3)’
This can be found by selecting ‘Tutorials’ and then ‘4 Bearings’ from the ‘Main SH5 menu.’
Select ‘Historical Missions’ >‘4 Bearing Tutorial.’
Select ‘Start’ and the Tutorial’ will then load.

This ‘Tutorial Document’ has been edited so you can use it in your game play.
It is assumed that you know how to use the map tools.
Replace the ‘Data’ you see here with your own.

1. This Tutorial is based on the first part of Trevally’s Tutorial where the 15 minute ‘Bearing Times’ have been used.
2. U-Boat speed >‘0’ Knots.
3. U-Boat > ‘Compass Bearing’ > 90 degrees.
4. U-Boat > ‘Depth’ > 25 Meters.
5. ‘Hydrophone Contact Bearing’ > 270 degrees.
6. Start > ‘Stopwatch.’
7. Time starting at ‘0 minutes for True Bearing 2.’
8. ‘Stopwatch Time’ >‘Each Bearing’ > 15 minutes.
9. ‘Plot’ > Bearing 1.
10. Convert > ‘True Bearing’ ’90 + 270 = 360 or 0’
11. Draw Bearing 1 from > ‘Navigation Fix.’
12. North > 0 degrees’
13. ‘Zoom out for accuracy.’
14. You can ‘Plot’ with ‘Game Pause’ on.
15. ‘Un-Pause Game’ to make any adjustments.
16. Draw out > ‘50km.’
17. Start ‘Stopwatch’ time > Each Bearing.
18. Trevally’ is using ‘15 minutes’ for this first example.
19. TIP >‘Compass’ place on top of the ‘Bearing 1 Line’ towards the top and draw it out towards the ‘Navigation Fix.’ ‘Zoom out for accuracy.’
20. ‘15 minutes’ later.
21. ‘Contacts > True Bearing 2’ > 56 degrees.
22. ‘Stopwatch’ started 2nd time for ‘Bearing 3.’
23. Total time ‘15 minutes.’ (True Bearing 2 > 56 degrees)
24. ‘Plot Bearing 2
25. ‘Navigation Fix’ > 56 degrees.
26. Draw out > 50km.
27. ‘Zoom out for accuracy.’
28. Take note the way ‘Contact’ is heading.
29. Bearing 2’ is ‘East of ‘Bearing 1’
30. ‘Zoom out for accuracy’
31. ‘Target’ moving > West to East.
32. ’15 minutes’ later > Bearing 3.
33. ‘Stopwatch’ started 3rd time for the ‘Predicted Bearing 4.’
34. Total time ‘30 minutes.’ (True Bearing 3 > 61 degrees)
35. As soon as we get ‘Bearing 3’ we must ‘Move the U-boat’ before we can take the ‘4th True Bearing.’
36. ‘Surface’ > U-Boat.
37. ‘Ahead Standard.’
38. Plot course ‘Towards’ and to the ‘Side’ of the last ‘Contacts Position.’
39. Bearing 61 degrees’ from > Navigation Fix.
40. Draw out ‘50km.’
41. ‘Zoom out for accuracy.’
42. To get > Contacts Heading.
43. Pick a point over half way up on the ‘Bearing 2 Line’ > ‘Mark’ with an ‘X.’
44. ‘Compass’ > on top of the ‘Bearing 3 Line’ towards the end and draw it out towards > ‘Navigation Fix.’
45. ‘Zoom out for accuracy.’
46. Take both ‘Compasses’ and place ‘Parallel Across’ the ‘X Mark’ you made on the ‘Bearing 2 Line.’
47. ‘Zoom out for accuracy.’
48. Draw a line ‘30 km’ long from where the ‘Bearings Cross’ each other.
49. Bearing Line 1 to > Bearing Line 3.
50. TIP > Sometimes it is easier to ‘Mark’ the two crossing points and then draw your line through them with the ‘Ruler.’ <
51. ‘Erase’ the > '2 Compass Circles.’
52. ‘‘Contacts Heading Line’ (CHL) > 151 degrees.
53. ‘Predict’ now > ‘Bearing 4.’
54. If the ‘Target is maintaining > Constant Speed.
55. ‘Measure’ the ‘Distance’ > ‘Compass’ between ‘Bearing 2’ > ‘Bearing 3.’
56. ‘Compass’ on > ‘X Mark’ > Bearing 2 Line.
57. ‘Compass Radius’ shows the ‘Distance’ between ‘Bearing 1’ > ‘Bearing 3’ remains constant if plotted correctly.
58. ‘Compass’ drag to where the ‘Bearing Line’ and > CHL Cross.
59. ‘Spacing’ showing on ‘Bearing 1’ and ‘Bearing 3’ must be the same.
60. The ‘Edge’ will show where to ‘Plot’ the ‘Predicted > Bearing 4.
61. Predicted Bearing 4’ > Draw so it matches the shape of the ‘Bearing 1 Line’ is to the ‘Compass Circle.’
62. ‘Predicted Bearing 4’ > Plotted.
63. ‘15 minutes’ have passed.
64. During that time we have:
65. Moved our ‘U-Boat
66. Dived
67. ‘Speed’ > 0
68. ‘Hydrophone’ > New Bearing 4.
69. ‘True Bearing > 350 degrees.’
70. Navigation Fix.
71. Stop the ‘Stopwatch no longer needed.
72. Total time 45 minutes.’(True Bearing 4 > 350 degrees)
73. Plot > Real ‘Bearing 4’.
74. Draw out ‘350 degrees’ from > Navigation Fix’ so it crosses the > Predicted Bearing 4 Line.
75. ‘Compass’ > make ‘Parallel Line’ > on 151 degrees ‘CHL’
76. ‘Compass from ‘CHL’ and place it ‘Parallel’ until it also ‘Crosses both the ‘True Bearing 4 Line’ and ‘Predicted Bearing 4 Line.’
77. This is the Line coming out from the U-Boat.
78. We now know where the ‘Target’ is.
79. ‘Compass’ > ‘Measure’ > Bearing 1 Line’ > ‘True Bearing 4 Line.’
80. ‘Target’ > ‘9,000 meters > 45 minutes.’
81. We can now find ‘Target Heading – Target Range – AOB – Speed.’
82. Go to the ‘Knots in Meters Per Minute Chart.’
83. ‘9000 meters’ > Targets Speed 6.5 Knots.
84. Although in this particular scenario ‘15 Minutes between bearings has been used you can use any time gap as long as they are the ‘Same between all Bearings.’
85. Personally I do not like to use less than 20 minutes as you need to be able to have the accuracy from the bearings you plot.
86. If the bearings are too close to each other then you will not be able to achieve this.
87. Always allow enough time for > Map Work.
88. The further away and ‘Slower the Target’ is you will need to allow ‘Longer Times’ between each ‘Bearings.’
89. Set up ‘Firing Position’ >90 degrees.
90. If playing with ‘Real Navigation’ > ‘Navigator’ > new position fix.
91. ‘Protractor’ on > ’90 degree Line’ to > New ‘CHL.’
92. Draw a line > U-Boat > ‘CHL’
93. This is > ’62 degrees’
94. ‘Firing Point’ now need to move > 4,200 meters.
95. ‘Surface the Boat.’
96. Order > ‘Ahead Slow.’
97. ‘Compass’ <> ‘Rudder’ > 62 degrees.
98. ‘Speed per Minutes Chart’ > 4,200 Meters.
99. Check set up on ‘Firing Line’ > 90 degrees.
100. Prepare your attack.
101. Good Hunting Captain.

These percentages do not apply if using The Wolves Of Steel mega mod.

Game Play Settings are selected from the Main Menu and then by selecting Options.

Game Play Option Levels:
Low > 2%
Medium > 38%
High > 77%
Realistic > 100%
Custom > % dependant on what is added or removed.

The default setting showing in Game Play Settings is always determined by the setting originally selected when a New Campaign is chosen.
Selections can be changed by either ticking, or un-ticking a box, this changes the default setting to become a Custom Game Play Setting.

Limited Batteries > Medium > High
When selected, the batteries that power your submarines electric engines are limited, this, in turn, limits the amount of time you can stay submerged before the batteries must be recharged.

Limited Compressed Air > High
When selected, your submarine uses an amount of compressed air to surface by blowing air in the ballast tanks.
If you exhaust your supply, you will have difficulties in bringing the submarine to the surface.
Compressed air is regenerated by your compressor when the submarine is running on the surface, so it is vital to keep that piece of equipment in good condition.

Limited O2 > Medium > High
When the submarine is submerged, the crew uses oxygen and generates CO2 (carbon dioxide).
Over time, the air will become un-breathable, affecting the performance of the crew and possibly even leading to their death.
When this option is selected, you must surface your submarine periodically to resupply your submarine with fresh air.

Limited Fuel > High > Realistic
When selected, your submarine has limited fuel, and therefore limited range.
You must return to base before your fuel supply is exhausted.
There are no refuelling submarines in the (stock) game.
You will get a warning during the patrol when you have used 50% of your fuel.

Realistic Repair Time > Medium > High > Realistic
When selected, damage repairs will take longer.

Manual Targeting System > High > Realistic
When selected, you must enter the appropriate information in to the TDC when firing torpedoes. You cannot simply point the TBT or periscope at a target and fire.

No Map Contact Update > Realistic
When selected, hydrophone and visual contacts will not appear on the navigation map.
Radio contacts, however will periodically appear on the map.

No Deck Gun Projectile Path > High > Realistic
The yellow line from the deck gun to the target is no longer shown.

Realistic Sensors > Medium > High > Realistic
When selected, the effectiveness of your hydrophone and radar is reduced.

Dud Torpedoes > Medium > High > Realistic
When selected, your torpedoes will periodically malfunction.
Malfunctioning torpedoes will either detonate too early, or not detonate at all.

Realistic Reload > High > Realistic
When selected, it will take a considerable amount of time to reload the torpedo tubes.

No Event Camera > Low > Medium > High > Realistic
When selected, the event camera is disabled.
You will not see your torpedo tracking to the target or when the target sinks beneath the waves.

No External View > Realistic
When selected, the external camera is disabled.

No Stabilize View > Realistic
When selected, your targeting optics (i.e the TBT and attack periscope) will be realistically affected by the submarines movement on the waves.
This will make targeting more difficult in rough seas.

No Ship Damage Meters > High > Realistic
No explanation available.

Play Silent Hunter 5 in Offline Mode!
Playing with Ubisoft Connect Offline will let you use your own game saves itaken from C:\Documents\SH5\data\cfg SaveGames instead of the Cloud synchronized ones which maybe corrupted.
You may see a message asking where to take the saved games from.

Important
Your game should not be installed in the Program Files (x86) restricted directory.
If this is so then I would suggest that you uninstall and re-install again, use a registry cleaner before re-booting your system.

How To Use The Free Registry Cleaner Ccleaner

If you are installing for the first time or re-installing because of a problem it is essential that you use a Registry Cleaner as part of this process.

Ccleaner is free and is basically two cleaning tools one is a very good tool for uncluttering your PC and the other for keeping your registry in good shape.

I use the cleaner every day before I shut my PC down.
The Registry Cleaner can be used as and when required.

Recommended download link for Ccleaner.

This is a very simple installation.
Very easy to use.

Your Tonnage Bar and Campaign icons will still show your previous activity as you left it if you have this activated.

It is advisable to End the Patrol each time you have to return to your base to re-supply.

Refitting without ending the Patrol causes the data files to become larger and can lead to problems developing each time you refit so only use once in any one patrol.

Before enabling Any Mods please see the Important Notice at Picture 19 at the following link.
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2182962&postcount=4

1. In this Tutorial I have chosen sobers’s green crew training v4 SH5 Mod as the Tutorial example.

2. This Mod contains the Folder in Folder situation that causes a number of problems to newcomers to JSGME.

3. The Subsim Forum is constantly being posted with this type of problem where the Mod has been Enabled but does not work.

4. This Tutorial will show you how to spot this problem with any Mod that you download.

5. It is also good practice to have your Mods all in one place so they can be found easily.

6. In this Tutorial we will be using a Folder called SH5 Mods Store.

7. Download the sobers green crew training V4 SH5 Mod to the SH5 Mods Store Folder. (Picture 1)

Picture 1
https://i.postimg.cc/N0q1vcyc/1.jpg

8. Double click on the Zip File with your Mouse to Open it.

9. Click on the Folder Once to Highlight it. (Picture 2)

10. Press the Copy Icon (Picture 2)

Picture 2
https://i.postimg.cc/KvtT7Wqp/2.jpg

11. This Picture shows that the Mod is going to Copy to the SH5 Mods Store Folder. (Picture 3)

12. Press OK to complete the Copy. (Picture 3)

Picture 3
https://i.postimg.cc/QdsTfqv8/3.jpg

13. Close the Zip File. (Picture 4)

16. This Mod contains 2 Folders. (Picture 7)

Picture 7
https://i.postimg.cc/hPCBYD5X/7.jpg

17. The Folder 1 is the Documents Folder that will contain a Text File or other details about the Mod.

18.This can be Copied and Pasted to your SH5 Mods Store Folder for reading the Instructions.

19. Folder 2 has a Folder called Mods.

20. Open the Mods Folder.

21.This shows another Folder called sobers green crew training V4 SH5. (Picture 8)

Picture 8
https://i.postimg.cc/cHMqB034/8.jpg

22. Open the sobers green crew training V4 SH5 Folder (Picture 9)

Picture 9
https://i.postimg.cc/VLNyXykm/9.jpg

23. This shows the data Folder. (Picture 10)

Picture 10
https://i.postimg.cc/sDLLSvL4/10.jpg

24. This means that the sobers green crew training V4 SH5 Folder that we saw in Picture 8 is the Folder that needs to go in the JSGME Mod Folder.

25. The rule is look for the data Folder and it is the Folder behind the data Folder that always needs to go in the JSGME Mod Folder.

26. Use the Arrow in the Left Top Corner to go back to the sobers green crew training V4 SH5 Folder.

27. Open the Mod Folder and select Copy. (Picture 11)

Picture 11

31. Go down to the JSGME Icon Application and Open it. (Picture 13)

Picture 13
https://i.postimg.cc/QdkpDzcK/13.jpg

32. You will now see the Mod sobers green crew training V4 SH5 is in the left Disabled side of JSGME. (Picture 14)

Picture 14
https://i.postimg.cc/7PGQgSFt/14.jpg

33. Right click with your Mouse on the Mod and you will see Explore. (Picture 15)

Picture 15
https://i.postimg.cc/kgnchSHm/15.jpg

34. Click on Explore and you should now see the data Folder (Picture 16)

35. This action can also be done directly from the Mod Folder see Picture 12 by opening the Mod Folder and opening the Mod and Deleting from there.

36. At this point if you cannot see the data Folder then the Mod will not work if it is Enabled.

37. If there are any Text Files or Document Folders showing then these should be Deleted by right clicking with your mouse and selecting the Delete function.

Picture 16
https://i.postimg.cc/k48K5MHs/16.jpg

38. If you have followed the Tutorial Instructions correctly then this or any other Mod will Enable correctly.

39. To Enable the Mod click on it Once with your Mouse. (Picture 17)

40. Click the Right Arrow showing in the centre section. (Picture 17)

Picture 17
https://i.postimg.cc/0jykBc7S/17.jpg

41. The sobers green crew training V4 SH5 Mod will either directly Enable or will show you a screen where it is going to overwrite other Enabled Mods. (Picture 18)

Picture 18
https://i.postimg.cc/j22TXCrQ/18.jpg

42. If you are building from an Established Mod List then there will not be problems with the Mods overwriting each other.

43. You will see at the bottom the total number of Mods in JSGME and the number of Mods Enabled.

44. To Exit JSGME Press the Close Button. (Picture 19)

Picture 19
https://i.postimg.cc/MTKJ6XX2/19.jpg

45. You still have the original Zip File of the Mod as a backup as well as the Copied Mod sobers green crew training V4 SH5 all in the SH5 Mods Store Folder.

46. How we got there:

47. (1) Zip File > (2) sobers green crew training V4 SH5 Folder > (3) Documents Folder + (3) Mods Folder > (4) sobers green crew training V4 SH5 Folder > (5) data Folder

48. The usual position for a Folder to be copied to the JSGME Mods Folder would be in position (2) and the data Folder in position (3).

49. As you can see with this particular Mod you have 2 Folders with the same name in positions (2) and (4).

50. This is why you need to pay careful attention with any Mods that you intend to use so you know what to put in the JSGME Mod Folder for the Mod to work.

TIP
If you shade this information and then copy and paste it to your PC Notepad you can then edit it.

Hi THEBERBSTER,

I am new to modding sh5 and I find your thread here are invaluable.
Thank you very much for doing it.

However, I have a question about TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_164_0.
Do you patch it in the beginning before all the mods in JSGME 2.6.0 or at the end after all the JSGME mods?

Here are my steps:
1. TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_164_0

then under JSGME:
2. NewUIs_TDC_7_4_2_TheDarkWraith
3. Open Horizon II v2.5
4. Trevally Tutorial - All v0.2(for OHIIv1.3)

However, when playing the tutorial, I get random CTD quite often.
I have tried Basic Sub Maneuvering, Activate Stations and Automation and I have get CTD about 5 or 6 times.

What do I do wrong?
Please advise.

THEBERBSTER

05-11-14, 04:31 AM

Hi tirta

TDW's GFP is a stand-alone Patcher it has nothing to do with JSGME

Do not put it in JSGME

Do not put in your Mods Folder

This comes from the installation instructions from my Post #2

TDW’s Generic File Patcher’ is a ‘Stand-alone’ Application.

DO NOT put this in “JSGME” or in any SH5 folders.

Right click and delete the Patcher from JSGME

Look at my instructions again

05-12-14, 03:51 AM

yes I have read your post no.2.

I have not put TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_164_0 under jgsme,
but on separate folder, but the tutorial still cause me CTDs.

I do not have CTD when using stock game.
What caused CTD? Do you know?

Hi The Berbster i just loaded the latest sobers mod list...and installed the latest patcher...i'm not sure which patches to enable or whether it's really installed correctly i did it step by step per your instructions,plus the options viewer editor...but I'm not sure which options to choose true or false...this game is deep now with lots of different things I'm really not clear about...someone on Youtube needs to post an in depth instruction guide to sobers mega mod on how to install correctly...that way newcomers know what to do...it's hard going through all the subsim posts to find answers.i got in the game and tried to run a historical mission with no luck...because i get a CTD...so i don't know no what to do now:hmmm:

Hi mainexpress

As far as the Patcher goes, as long as you can see those’ 9 Files’ then you have installed ok

The next thing is whether you are running ‘Real Navigation’ or not.

There have been a lot of additions to the game like taking control of the ‘Dive Planes, Engine Control, Sextants,’ and the recent addition in 164 of ‘Wind Speeds’ etc.

If you were to use them then they would need patching and in some cases you also need to make changes in the ‘OFEV’ as well.

For example if you want to be able to use ‘Decks Awash’ then you need to make changes in both the ‘GFP’ and the ‘OFEV.’

Do not change any in ‘Experimental or Advanced’

It is ‘File 4’ where you need to start making changes.

Click on ‘Patches.’

Change the ‘FIRST’ and ‘SECOND’ but only the ‘THIRD’ if you are using ‘RN.’

See my Post #41 on how to change the ‘Map Colours.’ This will always revert back to red when you go back in to GFP again so do not worry your choices stay enabled.

Change the next 3

The next 1 and 2 if you want ‘Decks Awash.’

Not IEC or ‘Advanced Users.’

Change the next 6

Change ‘New Game Destroyed Marks’ only if you are using ‘7-5-0.’

Change the next 2

Leave the next 5 although 4 and 5 is your choice to change if you want to.

Change ‘New hydro contact types.’

Do not change ‘Experimental’ and the last 8 although 4 and 5 your choice to change if you want to.

File 5 change all except ‘AI Units.’

File 6 change the following 1 - 3 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 9 -10

I personally do not change the next 7 but you can change these apart from ‘Dive Planes’ if you want to.

File 7 just 1 to change.

File 8 no changes.

File 9 no changes.

See my Post #35 and you will see Sobers mod list order.

As far as the OFEV this should now be a stand-alone and changes are no longer made through the NEWUI base mod.

OFEV is a matter of personal choice mainly rather than essential changes unless you are into the higher aspects of the game and changes need to be made to work with the changes made in the GFP.

If for example you wanted to use ‘Night Filters’ on your ‘Scopes’ then you would select the ‘UI Tab’ and change ‘Night Filters’ from ‘False to True.’

If for example you wanted set a ‘Hotkey’ so that you can travel at ‘7 knots’ to save ‘Fuel’ then you would go to the ‘Fuel Tab’ and change ‘Hotkey’ for ordering most effective fuel speed from M to P.’

Changes that you make in the ‘TAI and Nav Map’ tabs will automatically now show ‘Enabled’ when you select these ’Maps’ when you are on the U-Boat.

I do not know why you are getting a ctd with the ‘Historical Missions.’

I would suggest that you post me your mod list.

There is no need to type your mod list.

In “JSGME”

Go to “Tasks”

Go to “Export activated mod lists to”

Click on “Clipboard”

Right click and Paste to my Post.

I hope I have explained well enough, anything you still do not understand or want an answer to just Post or send me a PM

Peterokay when i set up the generic patcher per your instructions...i only got 8 files at the end... the SH5.exe came up as an error box saying it was a different version...and i will go through the GFP & OFEV as you just explained and make those changes once i get my patcher set up right.here's my mod list...I'm wondering if i have to do a re-install and start all over.Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157

Is this where you installed SH5 [D:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\MODS] ?

If this is yes?

Then it is incorrect to install in the program x86 folder.

The installation in your case should look like this.

D:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5

This would be the default installation from the dvd unless you tell it otherwise.

The installation then adds to your Program x86 Folder and also in your Documents Folder.

JSGME when installed then adds the 'Mods Folder in the Silent Hunter 5 Folder

So yes, I can see why you might have a problem with the GFP looking for your SH5 exe

Peterso essentially your telling me that installing SH5 in the program files(x86) folder is wrong? that i should install the game outside of the program files (x86) folder? that doesn't make sense when i already have other games installed in that folder basically everything that i wanna install goes in that D:\program files (x86) folder...i don't know what to do at this point? and the SH5.exe is the only .exe i have in the main silent hunter 5 folder...so i don't know why the GFP is having trouble finding it?and giving me an error box in the patcher could this be the reason I'm getting CTD?? so what is the next step i should take?:hmmm:

Installing in Program x86 folder is totally wrong and that is why you are getting the problems.

The fact that you expect SH5 to work in the same way as your other games is irrelevant.

Sh5 has to be installed in a particular way.

This would normally be in the C: drive

Default installation is C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5

if you read again what I said >>>> It does also install in the Program x86 Folder as well as the Main Silent Hunter 5 Folder.

When you install SH5 it also installs the Uplay installer.

SH5.exe you are referring to starts Uplay.

These exe should all be showing in your main SH5 folder

JSGME

Goblin Editor

Mission Editor2

You need to do a re-install.

If you want German Voices use the custom install on the dvd.

Is your GFP version 164?

Peterokay i will do a re-install and install like this D:\Ubisoft\SilentHunter 5 i will save my SH5 folder in my documents for my current campaign i have running so i don't lose my career...i will run a program called regvac to clean my registry before installing...btw what is goblin editor and what does it do?also mission editor 2? and my GFP currently is 164 yes. thanks Pete:)

I have checked my window and I do not have that version.

However, I still can not play Trevally Tutorial: manual tdc 01 90 deg.
I always have CTD in the middle, never finished it.

This are my latest mods:

then I uninstall OPEN HORIZONS II v2.5 and install other version of the tutorial:

but no luck, always CTD somewhere, but not at the same place.

Actually yesterday I almost finished the tutorial, however, it seems that the boat change direction and it went right above me, so I have to restart the tutorial, then when I restart I got CTD. Too bad.

Regarding the TDW generic patcher, I have tried disabled everthing, enabled only torpedo fix, enabled almost everything, but no matter what, I still get CTD

The strange thing is when playing with no mods, there is no CTD.

So what is wrong here?
Please advise.

Hi tirta

Your mods and their order are ok.

It sounds like you have a corrupted file somewhere.

I had a similar problem, the difference for me was I would ctd just as the tutorial was finishing its loading.

I had to do a re-install and that has cured the problem.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the reply.

I have reinstalled the game but with mods I still have CTD.

Do you have some idea where is the corrupted file?
Game file or mods file?

Is it mods file?
Because without any mods, I do not have CTD.

However, all the mods files unrar OK with winrar,
so which one is the corrupt file?
Please advise.
Thanks.

THEBERBSTER

05-20-14, 06:22 AM

I think you answered your own question by saying that the game was ok until you added your mods.

So we are looking at a mod corruption or maybe a mod incorrectly installed?

You know it is not OH II as disabled you still ctd.

It could be this

See my Tutorial Post #28 and run this and you will get information on your enabled mods.

You might see the problem after running it.

If you still have your mods enabled in your Mods Folder right click on each one of the mods you have enabled and make sure you can see the 'Data Folder.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for all the advices.
I have run “JSGME Mod Validator”, but I find there is no error in installation,
all the mods are labeled "installed correctly".

However, your reply make me thinking a lot about the mods.
The first mods that I use is because I want to play Trevally Tutorial.

So I installed:
NewUIs_TDC_7_4_2_ByTheDarkWraith
OPEN HORIZONS II v2.5
Trevally Tutorial - All v0.2(for OHIIv1.3)
with TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_164_0.

These are the first mods that I used, the first time I got a lot of CTD.

Then after reading your reply and searching the forum,
I add these mods:

Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_byTheBeast
Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1
#Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1_HotFix
Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_Patch_1 (available by date) V9 by sober
FX_Update_0_0_22_ByTheDarkWraith
FX_Update_0_0_22_Torpedoes (modified for torpedoes failure patches)

Reworked Morale and Abilities v.1.1
NewUIs_TDC_7_4_2_ByTheDarkWraith
Trevally Tutorials - All v0.2 (for TDW UI)

With these mods, I still get a lot of CTD.

Then I add FXU_0_0_22_Ship zon Files after FX Update,
and I also use sober snapshot for setting the TDW generic patcher.

Generic Mod Enabler - v2.6.0.157

NewUIs_TDC_7_4_2_ByTheDarkWraith
Trevally Tutorials - All v0.2 (for TDW UI)

Now there is a difference, i still get CTD, but not that often,
now most of the times, I can play the first mission without CTD,
but then after I finish it, get back to main menu, then play the 2nd mission,
then I get CTD somewhere on the middle of the 2nd mission.

Peter, do you know what is still wrong here?
My window is win7/64 with 4GB ram and nvidia GTX560 Ti.
Do I run out of memory?

THEBERBSTER

05-23-14, 05:39 PM

4Gb of ram is not enough for SH5 as you should be looking at 8Gb.

Some of the SH5 mods can be high on resources.

Your mod list looks ok

Have you turned down the 'Graphics' in 'Game Play Options?'

Check out Sobers snapshot as he plays at a high level so you do not want Sextants, Dive Planes, Real Navigation etc enabled.

Ram is not expensive, so I would look to upgrade this when you are able to do so.

If it gets really bad switch to SH4 until you can afford to upgrade.

Sh4 will cope well with your 4Gb

I play both Sh4 and Sh5.

You have the option to play German or American in SH4

How To Enable The Periscope Scope Filters
TDW's Options File Editor Viewer needs to be installed.
See my tutorial Post #6 how to install it.

To enable the scope filters you need to go to the UI Tab in TDW's Options File Editor Viewer.
Change the Night Filters patch from false to true.
In the periscope station when you press the Hud button tick the enable at the top.
Click on the number showing opposite the colour you want to change.
Use the mouse wheel to change the number.
You will see the optic changing colour.
By using the 4 options you should be able to get a night vision that suites your vision.

maybe I can avoid it?

And I notice there is newer version of TDW UI: ver 7.5.0
Is this worth upgrading from 7.4.2?

Hi tirta

You may get away with 4gb for vanilla, but is generally accepted that SH5 unlike SH4 and SH3 needs 8gb to handle the higher resources and graphics.

Sobers mods are generally seen as high resource mods.

He has though produced this mod Sobers Reduced File Sizes SH5 V2 that may well be beneficial when you using a large number of his mods.

This Sobers mod would be added at the end of your mod list.

You also have DynEnv v2.9 - 1. Main Mod this also comes with DynEnv v2.9 - 2. Main Mod Low Resolution Patch which you would place at the end of any additional Dyn Env mods.

DynEnv v2.9 has around 28 mods in it many are low resolution ones.

Mods that deal with’ Depth Of Field’ (DOF), shadows, and change interiors are also likely to be high on resources.

This mod comes as a high resolution but also has this (LR) low resolution buddy Shadow Improvement ModLR.

I would suggest that you only add mods that you really need.

The ‘Vanilla game is quite boring and underwhelming.

Until you have added two of the three mods below you do not know what you have been missing.

The mods in my Post #74 should always take priority over any additional choices with the exception of OHII and interfaces TDW,s New UI or CSP Magui.

(Your quote) And I notice there is newer version of TDW UI: ver 7.5.0 Is this worth upgrading from 7.4.2?

In your case no. 7-5-0 has not been official released and is currently on version 17.

It has a lot of advanced settings that you will not use. 7-4-2 is well established I use it and it is reliable.

So it sounds like you are thinking of dipping your toes in the water and looking for a few mods.

Make this your number 1 and put at number 1 in your mod list NDB,NDH OM#1 - No Dialog Indicator

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=162677 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=162677)

Make sure you lower the Graphic setting in ‘Game Play Options.’

Selecting mods from Sober – Fifi or Sjizzle you know that they have been tried and tested and will work, and also, be in the correct order.

So to sum up if you do not need it then do not use it.

If I can be of any further help just post or PM me.

U-Jagd Clock Face Identification.
Dial 1. = Time in Seconds.
Dial 2 = Ship Lengths up to 100 Metres.
Dial 3 = Ship Lengths up to 150 Metres.
Dial 4 = Ship Lengths up to 200 Metres.
Dial 5 = Ship Lengths up to 75 Metres.

General Instructions On How To Use The U-Jagd.
1. Select the Stopwatch/Clock (Chronometer).
2. Right click with your mouse button on the Clock Face.
3. U-Jagd should now be showing.
4. Move the U-Jagd to a convenient place if necessary.
5. Lock the Target
6. Identify the Target
7. Open the Recognition Manual
8. Send the Mast Height to the TDC
9. Make a note of the Ships Length (Example 140.9 = 141 Metres.)
10. In this example you would use Dial 3 for Ships up to 150 Metres.
11. Position the Attack Scopes Vertical Line forward of the Ships Bow.
12. When the Bow touches the Vertical Line Start the U-Jagd
13. When the Stern passes the Vertical Line Stop the U-Jagd.
14. Read the Speed from the Dial for the Ships Length.
15. Enter in the TDC.

I am thinking of installing sh4 again since my sh5 has lots of CTDs.

Sorry to hear that you are still having troubles.

Before you give up on SH5.

You say you are using Sobers snapshot.

Go through each patch and see if you need to disable any unnecessary ones.

You do not want any of these enabled.

Dive Planes

Sextants

Engine Controls

Stadimeter reference to Sextant

Wind Speeds

Advanced

Experimental

Would you send me your latest mod list please.

Trevally's AOB 90 Tutorial is SH5

1. Don't use 3d clouds.

2. Shadow slider all way to left (so none at all)

3. Terrain objects and particles density move notches left.

4. Don't use light shafts and ships caustic effects (caustics is included in several mods)

5. Get this d3d_antilag101 leave as-is and place the two items in game directory (eg : c:/ubisoft/silenthunter5/2 items from d3d_antilag101 here)

6. The AA slider have more to the left than right if that's possible.

7. And stay away from heavy smoke mods etc.

Whats new:

1. It based on stopwatch from TDW mod, but i noticed some inaccuracy with arrows. They missed scale division!
2. I made arrows more thin! Looks great and easier to take readings!
3. The blue and red colors of arrows while torpedo attack is less saturated. Thats better.
4. I turned the scale a little bit and calibrated it!
5. I took the body texture from Magui mod!
6. I placed German eagle. Sorry! But looks nice i think! ))

How Can I tell What I Need To Do In A Stock Game Campaign?
You are in a ‘Campaign’ but you do not know what your objectives are, or you may have sunk a number of ships and you do not know how many you need or, maybe it is the total amount of tonnage you need to complete the mission.
You can find all your objectives for a particular 'Campaign' quite easily.
Go to:
Documents
SH5 folder
CFG folder
SaveGames folder (select your last saved game by the date and time and then open it.)
Campaign folder
Campaign CFG
Your campaign name will show on the first line.
The 'Amount' is the objective you need to achieve.
This will may show as tonnage figure, or show the number of ships you need to sink.
The CrtAmount is either the number of ships you have sunk to date, or the total amount of tonnage you have sunk to date.

The 'Campaign' objectives are not used if one of the mega mods is being used.

EQuaTool – Elite Quality Map Tools For SH5 v. 01.01 by AvM. (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=2819)
(http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=2819)
EquaTool when unzipped has 15 Folders.
Each Folder can now be seen so as to help you decide that there is a better alternative than the Stock Tools.
Check the information carefully if you decide that you wish to put your own combination of tools together as some are and some are not compatible combinations.

Folder 1 > Documents.
Contains all the information you need to know and the combinations of tools that can be put together.
Tools that are shown as a Set will enable in JSGME when installing from the Folder number.
INCLUDED STYLES AND ADD-ONS
Flat Style
Standard sized, most similar to default set, but with much better looking tools for higher precision.

Kriegsmarine Style Family
All standard sized, they come in various flavours (check the Styles descriptions below).
The hallmark of the Family is the Nazi Eagle on the tools - an exact copy of markings stamped on all tools/equipment officialy owned by Kriegsmarine (there were a few different designs of these stamps, only some were used).
Version without svastikas (much lower quality and not historically accurate) is discontinued, but available in version 01.00 of this mod (check my FileFront site: http://www.filefront.com/user/Abd_von_Mumit).

Kriegsmarine Regular Style
Standard sized, similar to default tools but more precise.
The Eagle is a copy of real markings.

Kriegsmarine Light Style
Standard sized, similar to default tools but more precise.
The Eagle is a copy of real markings.

Kriegsmarine Golden Style
Standard sized, similar to default tools but more precise.
The Golden Eagle is my idea for eye-candy ("a luxury set") and may not be historically accurate (however the Eagle shape IS accurate).

Kriegsmarine Woody Regular Style
Standard sized, similar to default tools but more precise and with wooden handles/grips.
The Eagle is a copy of real markings.

Kriegsmarine Woody Light Style
Standard sized, similar to default tools but more precise and with wooden handles/grips.
The Eagle is a copy of real markings.

Kriegsmarine Woody Golden Style
Standard sized, similar to default tools but more precise and with wooden handles/grips.
The Golden Eagle is my idea for eye-candy ("a luxury set") and may not be historically accurate (however the Eagle shape IS accurate).

Large Style
Non-standard sized. All tools are the same - they are large, VERY accurate and look professional.
In fact they can be used in a truly professional manner, unlike their smaller brothers - check manual written for this tool by Moose Malloy, included in \documentation\manuals\malloy's ruller.rtf (written for SH3, some details may not apply to SH5 - I have not yet verified it for SH5).

Medium Clean Style
Non-standard sized.
A good compromise between standard and large sized tools.
Very legible with thick markings.

Medium Faber-Castell Style
Non-standard sized. Same as "Medium Clean Style", but with additional markings (historically accurate KM Eagle, copy of real "Kriegsmarine" writing and pre-war "Faber-Castell" logo as producer of the tool, for immersion).

Woody Style
Standard sized.
These tools don't provide better accuracy than stock, but... they have wooden handles/grips.

Double Set - Large plus Flat Style
Non-standard sized.
Large Style as "extended" series of tools with Flat Style as "simple" series.
For maximum precision and flexibility when plotting a lot.
Uses coloured Eraser tool coming from "Add-on - Coloured Simple Tools".

Add-on - Large Style Ruler
For any "standard sized"
Style replaces Ruler tool (extended series) with a Large Style Ruler (see Large Style description to see the Ruler).
Install ONLY on top of "standard sized" Styles - if installed on top of any "non-standard sized" Style, will render tools useless.
This add-on may NOT be used independently (needs a "standard sized" Style installed first).

Add-on - Coloured Simple Tools
These are here for eye pleasure - they add more colours when working with a map, the also look more real than stock tools.
Install ONLY on top of "single" Styles - if installed on top of any "double set", will render tools useless.
This add-on may be also used independently (without any Style installed).

Set up Steam to put new games in a different directory. Then you'll have to reinstall SH4 (you DO have the U-Boat Missions version, don't you?) in a root directory. Mine is C:\Steam games.
Should be end of problem unless the mod isn't installed correctly. Keep us posted and we'll get you running!

New Additions Now Available From Dynamic Environments

blue title = optional update

orange title = critical update

Medium Fog Bug Workaround by archer9 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?p=2162055#post2162055)(date added: 12 Jan 2014)
This mod replaces medium fog settings with clear weather settings and light fog settings with medium fog, thus making medium fog to appear much more rarely in game. Undesired side effects: there is no light fog anymore, and transition from clear weather to heavy fog is very sudden.
Enable the DynEnv-compatible version of Medium Fog Bug Workaround on top DynEnv's main mod and, if used, after any version of DynEnv's Enhanced Visibility submod. No campaign restart required.

DynEnv v2.9 - Brighter Nights (http://www.mediafire.com/?zlhcpix0x4d5ydz) (date added: 19 Jul 2013)
This submod reduces the problem of nights being excessively dark for some users. Available in two alternative versions: Brighter Nights (normal version) and Brighter Nights-No Murky Waters (merge of the two submods).

DynEnv v2.9 - No Glaring Sunlight (http://www.mediafire.com/download/fp6y7qqdfd6ax66/DynEnv_v2.9_-_No_Glaring_Sunlight.rar) (date added: 19 Jul 2013)
This submod is an attempt to reduce the excessively bright sun reported by some users, and it is a combination of the lights.cfg settings suggested by Venus (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2059253&postcount=400) with stock hdr_exterior.cfg, as suggested by robbierob2005 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2072223&postcount=452). There is still space for some finetuning probably, but you should notice a substantial improvement anyway.

DynEnv v2.9 - Wave Mechanics - Gale (Improved) (http://www.mediafire.com/?cgnmx9hv5gfbl6y) (date added: 9 May 2013)
This is a big improvement over the Wave Mechanics - Gale optional mod featured in DynEnv v2.9, which now contains Fifi's tweaks (thank you again mate!). JSGME ready. Enable it any time in place of any other wave mechanics mod. Compatible with DynEnv v2.9 - Sobers Best Ever Tweaks (enabled DynEnv v2.9 - Wave Mechanics - Gale (Improved) and let JSGME to overwrite the conflicting file).
Screenies: wind speed 0 m/s (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2054096&postcount=359), wind speed 14 m/s (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2050452&postcount=337)

DynEnv v2.9 - No U-Mark (http://www.mediafire.com/?vmvn9vhtijwq1tl) (date added: 20 Mar 2013)
Removes the orange marker denoting U-boat's position in external view.

DynEnv v2.9 - No Underwater Impurity Patch (http://www.mediafire.com/?b06zvkb9z71kugz) (date added: 5 Mar 2013)
Removes underwater impurity particles. Enable it after the Main Mod and either of the Enhanced Visibility optional mods, if used.
NOTE: required by the Enhanced Visibility submod high version, to fix a bug which makes impurity to be rendered as solid white squares.

DynEnv v2.9 - No Underwater FX Patch (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?i6faqbij7spzcm9) (date added: 3 Mar 2013)
Removes underwater diffraction effects. Enable it after the Main Mod and the Enhanced Visibility (medium) optional mod, if used.
You don't need it if you are using the Enhanced Visibility (high) submod.

Please be aware that the additional Sobers mods that are in blue in the Dynamic Environment thread are not up to date.

When I run the patcher it says unable to open c:\ubisoft\silent hunter 5\sh5.exe for verifying. .....because its being used by another process. (But I cannot find what is using it?) then the next error is error reading patch file.....

I have the DVD version of the game and have patched it to 1.2, dont know if this is related to uplay application?

Captain's Log 0000-00-00 Corruption And How To Correct It
The Captain’s Log records all the data for targets destroyed during a mission.
Unfortunately this data is sometimes appears corrupted.
Picture 1 > shows the date having been corrupted 0000-00-00.
https://i.postimg.cc/269zx4H0/1-Pre-change.jpg

To overcome this problem if you wish to do so, but it is not compulsory, and you want to show the correct date for the destroyed target the following needs to happen.
Go to > Documents Folder
Go to > SH5 Folder
Go to > data Folder
Go to > cfg Folder
Go to > SaveGames Folder

It is important now to find the last saved game.
As there can be more than 1 save during game play you need to look at both the date and the time of the last save.
An example is shown in Picture 2.
Picture 2
https://i.postimg.cc/8kwytZmp/2-Save-Game-Folder.jpg

Select > CaptainLog
An example is shown in Picture 3.
Picture 3
https://i.postimg.cc/59FBFpKK/3-Captain-Log.jpg

With the Captain’ Log Notepad opened what you see is only what has been recorded in this last game save number.
Somewhere in it you are going to see this > Date=0
An example is highlighted in Picture 4 where the block of data has been highlighted to show the corrupted date.
Picture 4
https://i.postimg.cc/SxjNJ1DJ/4-Captain-Log-showing-error.jpg

Remove the 0 and replace it with the correct date.
Use the block of data above to show how the date has to be entered.
This will be the torpedo impact date so will always be the correct date.
An example is highlighted in Picture 5
Picture 5
https://i.postimg.cc/j5MFwc8S/5-Correct-date-entered.jpg

With the correct date entered.
Go to > File or Exit
Go to > Save
Exit the Captain’s Log.

When you start your next game and go to the Captain’s Log you should now see the correct date has replaced the 0000-00-00 date.

In this tutorial I will show you How To Save a Mod Profile for The First Time in JSGME by using a Mep File.

Sometime now or later you will want to, or need to, make alterations to your existing Mod List.
Making a Mep File can also be very useful when needing to get to that awkwardly placed Overwritten Mod.
JSGME has a Profile Management Tool that will save you a lot of time and also you will be able to keep records of previous Enabled Mod Lists that you may wish to keep.
You can use any previous Mep File Save providing the Mod is still in JSGME whether it is Enabled or Disabled.

What is a Mep File?
This is the List of your Enabled Mods that is Saved to a Mep File.
What is a Mod Profile?
This is the Enabled Mods.

1. How to Save A Mod Profile.

2. The first time you do this you need to make a New Folder where Mep Files can be kept.

3. For the purpose of this Tutorial this New Folder will be called Mep Files.

4. Place the Mep Files Folder somewhere that you can get easy access to.

5. Making a Desktop Shortcut is another useful way to find the Mep Files Folder easily.

6. Open JSGME.

7. In the Picture we can see that there are 56 Activated Mods and 1 Disabled Mod. (Picture 1)

9. Find the Mep File Folder. (Picture 3)

10. In the Picture this is showing the Path > Computer > SH (D) > All SH5 > SH5 JSGME MEP FILES > Mep Files

11. Mep Files in the path is the Mep Files Folder.

Picture 3
https://s11.postimg.org/x45quid83/Picture_3c.jpghttps://s17.postimg.cc/x96r8ofan/Picture_3c.jpg

12. A name is needed in the File name space for any Saved Mep Profiles.
(Picture 4)
https://s14.postimg.org/goqox9cm9/Picture_4c.jpghttps://s17.postimg.cc/hay1il333/Picture_4c.jpg

13. For the Tutorial this will be Mep File 1 05.04.2015 (Picture 4)

14. When you do your First Save the Save as type may not show (*.mep)

15. If it does not show this then add to the File Name For Mep File 1 05.04.2015.mep

16. You will not need to do that .mep again as next time it will recognise the File Type.

17. Click on Save. (Picture 5)
Picture 5

38. JSGME will now start to Disable and Re-Enable the Mods depending on how far back it has to go to insert the Added Mod to its new position.
39. You can now see that JSGME has finished and placed the mod where it was cut and pasted to in the Mep File.
Picture 21.
https://s17.postimg.cc/xm2qsqkf3/Picture_21.jpg

40. Close JSGME.
41. If you do get an Error Message then Close JSGME and then Open It Again and you will see that the Mods have still Enabled correctly.
42. It is also possible to Type the Mod Name in the Mep File using the Keyboard.
43. It is essential that it is entered exactly as you it see it in JSGME.
44. If this not done correctly then an Error will occur when the Mep File is Loaded.
45. I would advise Adding the Mod and then moving it to the desired position rather than the possibility of making a typing mistake.

TIP
If you shade this Tutorial and then copy and paste it to your PC Notepad you can then edit it.

I'm new to the game and this tutorials are great!!

Thanks!!

I've just read "How To Intercept A Convoy From A Received BDU Radio Message", excellent tutorial!

The only problem is that my navigator doesn't calculate bearing and range to convoy? How can I fix that?

Thanks again.

Hi diego

The range and bearing is given by the 'Watch Officer on the bridge and not the Navigator.

From one of his icons he is able to give you the range and bearing.

He is in TDW's New UI 7-4-2 and 7-5-0 mod.

The tutorial is based on using 'Real Navigation.'

If you have map contacts showing in your 'Game Play Options' then you should be seeing your U-boat and the convoy if you are close enough.

if you are not using TDW's mod then you can use your ruler and protractor to get the range and bearing.

So that calculation is a feature of tdw new ui's? Do you have that option if you are not using real nav?

I installed new ui's but then added other mods and started to get random ctds.

Did a fresh re install, activate the necesary exe patches following your guides, still random ctds...

Deactivate exe patches, back to normal no ctds.

Then, activating patches by group to find the one causing the problem, found that "RPM Inertia, Shafts and props...." was causing a ctd when the game was loading. So I'll leave that out.

I'm testing with the final gruop of patches.

All your tutorials have proven to be real helpfull!!

Hi again diego

No, Real Navigation is not necessary.

With Real Navigation you do not see any ships on the map.

That is why every 4 hours the navigator plots your position.

One of the bugs in SH5 is that some times you get as Stoianm says the 'Ghost Ship.'

In his case it was the actual convoy he was seeing but should not have been able to.

I would suggest you post your mod list and I will check it out for you.

In “JSGME”

Go to “Tasks”

Go to “Export activated mod lists to”

Click on “Clipboard”

Paste to the Post on Subsim.

Is your download 'Steam?'

Peter

Thanks Peter!

I had an older version of tdw ui's and also installed the other mods in the wrong order. Now i'm going to do it in the right order following the lists in this post. First want to check that none of the exe patches is causing ctds.

No steam luckily!

Bye, Diego.

Hi!

Maybe I should ask in another post, buy anyway...

The game is running smoothly, no ctd, everything is fine.

I've installed OH II 2.5.

Started the campaing following sober' guide on how to start campaing, mission, etc...

Completed the first mission, now i'm in the bunker but i can't start the next mission, cause there's no mission icon apart from the completed one.

I tried to find something about this issue but found nothing.

Hi diego

Your mod list is ok. I cannot see any problems with it, looks good.

You cannot get the next mission until you meet the date requirement.

So it sounds like you have finished the Baltic Mission before the 4th and you have ended your patrol.

The next patrol is Eastern British Coastal Waters starts on the 4th September 1939.

If you are not using the mod ‘Change Days in the Bunker’ then the turn round time is 14 days.

You need to too do the following.

Load the ‘Autosave Enter Base.’

Go to the ‘Flotilla Leader.’

Select ‘Start Mission’

Select ‘Yes.’

Check the date on your ‘Navigation Map.’

Click on the ‘Anchor Icon.’

Select ‘End Patrol.’

Load the ‘Autosave Enter Base.’

Go to the ‘Flotilla Leader.’

Go to ‘What are my Mission Orders.

You should now see your next patrol E.B.C.W.

When you open the nav map up the grid should disappear.

If you want to be able to use Sjizzle's grid chart so you can place it and size it on the grid then you will need to update 7-4-2- to 7-5-0

7-4-2 does not allow you to resize the grid chart.

JSGME How To Delete/Remove An Overwritten Mod By Using A Mep File.

1. In this Tutorial I am going to show you how to Delete/Remove an Overwritten Mod from a Mep File, the most difficult Mod to access > Accurate German Flags.
2. Without the help of a Mep File you would normally have to manually disable each Mod until you reached the one you wanted to remove.
3. This particular Mod would be easy to Disable as you could just let JSGME Disable all of the Mods.
4. However now comes the job of having to Enable each one again Manually in the correct order.
5. If you have been following the Tutorials you will know that there are already 3 Mep File Tutorials.
6. The first task is to make a Copy of Mep File 3.
7. I always make a Copy before doing any work altering any Mep File.
8. This is because if you decide to return to a previous Mep File you always have the original as a Backup.
9. Go to the Mep Files Folder. (Picture 1)

As you can see I replaced the speeche recognition with 3 mods:

-Old Style Explosions V1.1
-Sober's smoke screen (DynEnv&OldStyle Explosions compatible)
-SubFlags_0_0_8_byTheDarkWraith

I don't see any problems so far, but if you think it will cause issues in time than please let me know, again sorry for my poor English.

Hi Peter!

Sorry to bother you again.

I think i'm having a problem with my saved games. I started a new OH II campaign. While playing E.B.C.W, I reached the patrol area and started attacking some ships (inside the 80km radius), the progress bar filled at first, but then got stuck.

So I reload my Autosave Enter Base game and started E.B.C.W again. Once on the patrol area I found 2 ships, I did a manual save before intercepting them. After sinking them, the progress bar filled as expected. Then I found a big tanker, sunk it, and again the bar filled. But... an escort appeared, and destroyed my sub.
So I reload my game, but this time the bar got did not fill after sinking the ships.

Don't know if related, but my map looks like this:

Hi Diego

Mod list order looks ok.

Map looks ok.

Make sure you are on the correct side of the patrol line otherwise it may not show on the progress bar.

Make sure you are surfaced when you do any manual saves.

Cannot be more helpful on this.

Hi!

I usually save my game when the sub is submerged... I will try doing only surfaced saves.

Thanks again!

Auto TDC Targeting Without Using The 3 Circles

If you already have a Career you do not need to start a new one.
I recommend using TDW’s Options File Editor Viewer to setup your TAI and Navigation Map patches first.
This will save you having to make unnecessary changes every time you load a saved game.
Picture 1 > TAI Options in TDW’s Options File Editor Viewer.
https://s14.postimg.cc/yaqu1qktt/image.jpg

Picture 2 > NAV Options in TDW’s Options File Editor Viewer.
These tools can be further customized depending on your in game circumstances in both the TAI and Navigation Maps but these settings are only good for the current gaming session.
https://s14.postimg.cc/z09me48ip/image.jpg

Picture 3 > Got to the XO Tab and make sure the Manual Targeting Enforced patch is disabled (False = Red)
The big advantage with Auto TDC without the 3 Circles in the method I will show you is the extended range you can shoot at.
Auto TDC can be recommended using The Wolves Of Steel Mega Mod as I am showing in this tutorial.
You will soon see how easy it is to use this system and be able to use it in your own game play.

Picture 5 > Shows the Game Play Settings when the Low New Campaign setting is selected.
These settings can be changed at any time you are in the Bunker to suit your game play.
A Bunker save must be made to keep any changed Game Play Settings and then used to load the Game and Start the Mission.

The picture shows “Break Lock” which means the Space Bar has been used to lock the target.
I have drawn out the targets course on the TAI Map and positioned the U-Boat at 90ᴼ by using the protractor.
This is only a guide to show you the best shooting position but does not need to be drawn out for Auto TDC unless you wsnt to.
Notice the curved line extending from the U-Boat.
This is the Torpedo Solution Line (TSL)

Picture 19 > Torpedo 4 hits the Target.
I still had time to re-lock the Target with the Space Bar and then un-lock and Fire Torpedo 4 at a different draft
Torpedo 4 hit.
3 Torpedoes still running.
This is a very flexible system and you will always have the opportunity to re-lock, un-lock the Spacebar and fire more torpedoes at ranges over 5,000 meters.

Hi all:

I think I've done everything correctly when it comes to running SH5 offline, but I am still not able to accomplish missions. 1st mission: British Coastal Waters: I can highlight and choose it while at base (on the map) so that I can go out on patrol. But regardless of how many ships I sink, whether it's behind the red line OR patrolling around (360dgs and 91km circum) the highlighted patrol point, that mission is never complete and the white line at the bottom remains empty.

It might be senility (I'll bet I'm one of the oldest players here) but I would love some suggestions on what I could try

Hi Ronco

The ability to fill the tonnage bar seems to be a bit of a problem for some of us at the moment.

I have only had the problem since reinstalling from the dvd as the Uplay part kept of the installation kept coming up as a windows error.

I get the Game Play Launcher from Ubi.com although it is also available from Uplay.

I am also experiencing the same problem as you but on the Baltic Patrol.

I do not have an answer I am afraid.

It is generally recognised as not being a mod problem.

I normally play with around 40 mods but am just using 14 at present for the Baltic.

The most likely cause is the Ubisoft Game Launcher.

I have tried numerous combinations of the UBL in and out of the x86 Program folder and also I have tried using a UBL from a backup last June.

So for me it is w.i.p.

Check this thread out as it may be of some help to you

Hi all!

With the explosion of the torpedo, the ship jumps up to tens of meters and rotates until to fall.
What from the mods caused this phenomenon?

THEBERBSTER

11-21-14, 03:25 PM

Hi Remon

Unless someone knows different it is just one of those things that happen in the game and I am not aware that it is a mod issue.

The last time I saw this happen was sinking a docked ship on the Baltic mission.

11-22-14, 01:36 AM

Thank you!

Yes, this is the first mission, Poland.
I would like to know how I can adjust the power torpedo explosion. If in stock version SH5 it not, then it's a bug in the assembly used modes.
I find it difficult to translate and read the all forum. This question may already be considered here?

THEBERBSTER

11-22-14, 04:28 AM

Hi Remon

You can use this mod to make the torpedoes more powerful.

One Ship, One Torpedo v1.00

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=3366 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=3366)

There are 2 versions.

Version v1.00 is the more powerful one of the 2 and is the one I use.

Do not give any bonus points to your torpedo man as you will find your torpedoes will start missing the target.

But there is one but.

2. I download Links
3. I load the game with YUPLAY. Version 1.15. Update to 1.2 via YUPLAY not. Was looking at his forum, but did not find. I downloaded from the Internet and updated. Long fussed with modes. Finally all uploaded
All is okay, pushing with preservation minor problems. 5 let torpedoes. Marriage. Undermining the normal fashion - OK. But mod "one ship, one torpedo v1.00" on the fan. A very strong effect. I will still try and see.

The RAOBF Wheel In Silent Hunter 5 > 3 YouTube Tutorials + Instructions

My step by step Tutorial is based on Stoianm’s 3 parts in game YouTube videos.

Part 1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e_dFhnaJUI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0e_dFhnaJUI)

Part 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM7SgJoiu4w (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM7SgJoiu4w)

Part 3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUV4pZVmeNM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUV4pZVmeNM)

1. Essential Requirements (Already in TWOS & sobers mega mod)
Before you can use the RAOBF you need to have enabled the following mods.
A version of TDW’s NewUI
Manos Scope Mod.

2. The RAOBF Wheel Its Components And What They Do.
The RAOBF Wheel comprises of 3 Rings with 4 sets of numbers and 3 markers.

2a > OUTER RING > SHIP SIZE INFORMATION
Mast Height is counted from the Vertical Scales.
Ship Length is counted from the Horizontal Scales.

2b > MIDDLE OUTER RING > RANGE
For reading and setting the range.
The range numbers are equivalent to 100 x metres.
RAOBF 10 = 1,000 metres.

2c > MIDDLE INNER RING > OPTICAL
Optical Mast Height (Waterline to top of the mast)
Optical Length (Bow to Stern)
Used for setting the numbers that the mast height reaches on the Vertical Scales.
Used for setting the numbers of the Ships Length on the Horizontal Scales.

2d > INNER RING > AOB
AOB to scale 90° (see Note 2 and Note 3)

3 > Explaining The RAOBF Wheel’s 3 Markers
Black Marker 1 > Zoom x 6 in the Periscope.
Black Marker 2 > Normal Periscope view 1.5 (see note 1)
Red Marker > Speed Knot Marker

4 > How To Set Up The RAOBF Wheel For An Attack
Calculations must be done in real time but Pause Game can still be used at any time.
The RAOBF MIDDLE RING can still be moved with the Game Paused. (see Note 4)
The U-boat must be at zero speed.
If using Real Navigation now order the Navigator to update your position.
Mark out i.e. 355° on the Navigation Map.
Raise the Attack Periscope.
Change the magnification to Zoom x 6 whenever possible.
Make sure the TDC is switched on.
Press the L key to move the XO TDC out of the way.
Lock the Target using the Spacebar.
Click on the Torpedo Man (WEPS Officer)
Click on the Follow Target Icon.
Click on the Torpedo Attack Icon.
Click on the Identify Target Icon i.e Liberty Cargo.
Note the Bearing to Target i.e 63°
Click on the Chart Toggle Icon.
This will bring out the Recognition Manual (SOAN).
Find the Target in the Rec Manual.
From the Rec Manual we need to know two pieces of information.
Mast Height i.e 26.2 metres.
Ship Length 140.9 = 141 metres.
Close the Rec Manual using the Toggle Icon.
Press the RAOBF button.
This will centre on the Target.
Pause Game can be used at any time.
Count the number of Horizontal Lines 7.1 + 7.1 = 14.2
Count the number of vertical lines i.e 4.2
Turn off Follow Selected Target Icon from the WEPS Officer.
Note the Bearing 56° that refers to two markings just taken.
If using Real Navigation draw out 56° from the U-Boat’s heading with the Protractor.
Using the MIDDLE INNER RING turn it until 4.2 is under the Black Marker 1.
Now go to 26.2 on the OUTER RING.
Now look at the MIDDLE OUTER RING and you will see that the 25 is close to the 26.2 showing on the OUTER RING.
25 x 100 = 2,500 metres.
The Targets Range is 2,500 metres.
If using Real Navigation draw out 2,500 metres and mark with an X.

5 > Next Step Finding The AOB
Using the OUTER RING we note where the ships length (141) is on the Ring.
Moving the MIDDLE OUTER RING we move the Range on the Ring showing
25 = 2,500 metres to the 141 on the OUTER RING.
To get the AOB we need to count the optical length of the Target.
These are the Horizontal Lines to the Left and Right of the Centre Vertical Line.
This has to be counted out from the Centre Line both to the Left and then to the Right and does not include the Centre Line.
i.e 7.9 left + 7.9 right = 15.8
Looking at the MIDDLE INNER RING 15.8 shows the AOB is 43° on the AOB INNER RING.
Now take the Protractor if you are using Real Navigation and draw out 43° from the Range Line to the Mark X and past the U-boat.
If using Map Contacts you will already be able to see the Target so you just need to draw out the Targets Course with the Ruler to past the U-Boat.
Now using the Protractor check and make sure you have noted the AOB.

6 > Next Step Finding The Targets Speed
Remove the RAOBF by pressing its button.
Cancel Follow Target from the (WEPS Officer).
Reposition the Periscope so as to allow the Targets Bow to cross the
Periscopes Vertical Line.
Bring up the Stopwatch.
When the Targets Bow touches the Vertical Line start the Stopwatch.
When the Targets Stern touches the Vertical Line stop the stopwatch.
Time showing on the Stopwatch i.e. 46 seconds.
Press the RAOBF button.
The Seconds are counted from the MIDDLE OUTER RING.
Go to where 46 Seconds are showing on the MIDDLE OUTER RING and move the ring so it lines up with 141 on the OUTER RING (141 = ship length)
Look at the Red Marker to its position on the MIDDLE INNER RING.
The number showing is the Targets Speed in Knots i.e 6 Knots.
Remove the RAOBF by pressing its button.

7 > Next Step Moving To The Firing Position
Close the TDC
Using the Protractor draw a 90° Firing Position from the Targets Course Line.
Using the Compass or Rudder move the U-Boat at Ahead Slow so it is at 90° and then order All Stop.
Now is a good time to set up the number of Torpedoes you intend to fire.
Do not forget to set the Torpedoes Depth as you will not see the Hull diagram in time.

8 > Next Step Manually Enter The Data
Turn the Periscope to show 0°.
Lower the Periscope so it cannot be seen while you enter the data.
Select Heading to View.
Click the TDC button to Manual input.
Enter the Speed i.e. 6 Knots.
Measure the Range from the U-boat to the 90° position on the Targets
Course Line i.e. 1,700 metres.
Enter the 1,700 metres on the Range Dial.
Enter AOB as 90° Port.
Set the Button back to Manual Off.
The Gyro Angle needs to show 0° in both dials by moving the Periscope.
The Periscope Bearing now shows a Firing Position of i.e. 8°.
Fire the torpedoes when the Target enters 8°.

Note 1 > If the Target will not fit in Zoom x 6 then you have to use the standard optical of 1.5
To get the Mast Height count the Vertical Lines as normal and then use the Black Marker 2 position.

Note 2 > If the Target will not fit in Zoom x 6 then you have to use the standard optical of 1.5
Count the Horizontal Length as normal then multiply the total by x 4 and then use the MIDDLE INNER RING.

Note 3 > The INNER RING AOB scale only shows up to 90°.
If the Target is heading away then you need to take the INNER RING away from 180°
So the sum for example could be 180° – 51° = 129° AOB

Note 4 > A change has been made to later interfaces that is not shown in Stoianm’s videos.
Now when the RAOBF button is pressed a two position switch becomes visible.

Note 5 > Up Position > The MIDDLE DISC can only be rotated by using the Mouse Wheel.

Note 6 > Down Position > The MIDDLE DISC cannot be rotated and is locked in position.

Note 7 > I can also recommended Trevally’s RAOBF tutorial.

I have hi-jacked this post in the interest to mention another STEAM work around option that has been successfully used on SH3 and SH4 for some time by installing an XP Virtual Machine.
The XP Virtual Machine is now being recommended to SH5 players to get around the incompatibility with TDW’s Generic File Patcher by using a non STEAM SH5.exe.
From the link below you will find instructions how to install it and be able to select your Windows OS for the XP Virtual Machine.
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=xp+virtual+machine+subsim&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b&gfe_rd=cr&ei=8XA4WKShNrDS8AeInK3IAg#q=xp+virtual+machine+

Check out the New Additional section if you are still having problems after using this tutorial.

sh5.exe genericpatcher to work with steam.

Hi:)

First off, I'm new to these forums so I'm really sorry if I'm being redundant with this information.

I'm really sleepy after a day of work and I just wanted to write down the steps, but I thought that perhaps somebody would like to try this already so instead of cleaning up the steps and keeping the steps for myself another couple of days I'll just publish this rough draft and let you guys have any eventual laughs due to my mistakes.:)I will try to clean it up by tomorrow evening or so.

I do appreciate that this is not fun for anybody, so please only do this if you know what you're doing until enough people can confirm that this actually works or if I'm all wrong and making a fool out of myself.

This is kind of like a science experiment, I have results I want you guys to try to reproduce. Thank you for helping me out:

1.
Go download "silent_hunter_5_col_1.02_eu.exe" from:
http://www.4players.de/4players.php/...oad/55318.html (http://www.4players.de/4players.php/download_start/Downloads/Download/55318.html)

2.
Download & Install: http://filehippo.com/download_universal_extractor/tech/

3.
Right click on the "silent_hunter_5_col_1.02_eu.exe" you downloaded in step 1. choose "UniExtract to Subdir", choose "isxunpack extraction" under "Extract Method".

4.
Step 3 should have resulted in a folder called "silent_hunter_5_col_1.02_eu"

5.
Download & Install the "InstallShield_Cabinet_File_Viewer"

http://www.mediafire.com/download/b527nf6771b2u4j/InstallShield_Cabinet_File_Viewer.rar (http://www.mediafire.com/download/b527nf6771b2u4j/InstallShield_Cabinet_File_Viewer.rar)

6.
Start program and go to File => Open => "silent_hunter_5_col_1.02_eu\Disk1\data1.hdr"

6. Alternative steps by kajonas

This method works beautifully. It uses the Install Shield Cabinet File Viewer
iscab.exe command line utility as an alternative to the iscabvu.exe file extraction method (assumed above).

Assume an initial directory structure as follows:
%Downloads%\InstallShield_Cabinet_File_Viewer
%Downloads%\silent_hunter_5_1.02_eu
(where %Downloads% can be anything, any path)

CD to your "silent_hunter_5_1.02_eu\Disk1" directory

Run this command
=============
..\..\InstallShield_Cabinet_File_Viewer\iscab data1.cab -i"allmyfiles.ini" -lx

Make a copy of allmyfiles.ini --> allmyfiles_edit.ini
delete everything in this file except for the following:

Product=ISCAB
Version=2.0

[Game]
File40="sh5.exe"

Run this command
===========
..\..\InstallShield_Cabinet_File_Viewer\iscab data1.cab -i"allmyfiles_edit.ini" -x

You should find the file sh5.exe extracted in the current directory
Done.

7.
View => Components

8.
Click on "Game" and then "Files", find sh5.exe in the list.
save it on your desktop.

9.
Start up Steam, right click on "Silent Hunter 5: Battle of the Atlantic" => Properties => local files => Browse Local files.

10.
Find the sh5.exe file in the list and rename it to sh5_steam.exe.

11.
Go to your desktop and rename the sh5.exe file which you extracted from the ubisoft patches cab file to sh5_patched.exe and copy it into your silent hunter 5 folder where the sh5_steam.exe you renamed file resides.

12.
Copy the sh5_patched.exe file so you have 2 of them, and rename one of them sh5.exe

Now you should be able to run the genericpatcher and update your sh5.exe file and when you launch it from steam it wont make a difference since steam is actually only launching uplay, and uplay does not seem to care if you're running a modded file or not.
Im assuming its legal because we are just getting the patch ubi made, so we are not cracking anything. It might go against steams EULA though... but then again I'm not so sure about where things stand in regards to the legality of modifying binary files on a whole. anyway hydrophone works, yay.

...seems like we should be safe.

When things go wrong

If you get an error when trying to run "InstallShield_Cabinet_File_Viewer", please try downloading whatever file its saying that you're missing from here:

Example: http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vb6/mscomctl.cab (http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vb6/mscomctl.cab)

Then extract the cab file and copy the file into your C:\Windows\SysWOW64 [windows 7] or c:\Windows\System32 folder, [for older versions of windows]

Start your terminal (run => cmd.exe) and type
cd<push spacebar>C:\Windows\SysWOW64 or c:\Windows\System32<push Enter key>

The prompt should change to: C:\Windows\SysWOW64 or c:\Windows\System32

Then type:
regsvr32<push spacebar>mscomctl.ocx <push Enter key>

Oh right, so the reason I wanted you to make a backup of the sh5.exe file is two fold, one is so that you can go back to the steam version if you think my idea is stupid. second, sometimes steam will overwrite your .exe file, its not happened to me yet, but i know that if you run "validate my files" it will see that you have modified your file and assume it is broken because its not the same size it knows it should be and overwrite it. So you should be covered in both cases.

New Version Tutorial 24th July 2018

An Easy Way In to Real Navigation!

I have produced this Tutorial as a way of introducing Real Navigation to Players where previously it may not have been considered due to its presumed difficulty.

This Tutorial reduces many of the aspects as you will see from the pictures and dialogue.

Mega Mods are deliberately designed at higher levels of game play focusing on realism wherever possible with Real Navigation at their core.
This level of difficulty does not suit every player, but there is no doubt that Real Navigation does enhance the game and additional skills are needed and need to be learned.

TDW's Options File Editor Viewer (OFEV) contains all the Real Navigation patches and it is here in the first part of this Tutorial that I will show you how to use these patches to your advantage while you are learning.
Once you have established an understanding you can change any settings of the patches back to default or somewhere in between.
If you find Real Navigation is not for you then all you need to do is disable the Real Navigation Mod in JSGME and you are back to where you started.
You do not even need to change the OFEV settings again.
To make changes in the (OFEV) you will need to disable the mods in JSGME first.
No disabling needed if TWoS is used from version 2.2.6 onwards.

The only Tool you will need and essential for Real Navigation if you have not already got it is the multipurpose Equatool Large Style.
Download link.
Not needed if you are using one of the Mega Mods
EQuaTool – Elite Quality Map Tools For SH5 v. 01.01 by AvM. (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=2819)
(http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=2819)Picture 1 > Large Map Tool.
https://s15.postimg.cc/464pmj32z/1_Large_Map_tool.jpg

For those Players using their own mod lists The Real Navigation Mod is included in both version of TDW’s NewUI mods 7-5-0 and 7-4-2 downloads.
For correct installing see my SH5 Tutorial Posts 7 or 25.
Enabling the Real Navigation mod In JSGME adds Real Navigation to your game.

Picture 2 > The Navigation Officer has active icons relevant to Real Navigation.
https://s15.postimg.cc/ccwpec62z/2_Navigator_icons.png

if you are using the 7-5-0 version when using your own mod list you will need to make a change in TDW’s Generic File Patcher (GFP)..
Picture 3 > Enable Real nav menu.txt entries in the SH5.exe patch.
https://s15.postimg.cc/hbk7swzm3/3_Real_Nav_menu.txt.jpg

So what are the differences that I am showing in my “An Easy Way In to Real Navigation?”

1. Timing > The time it takes to plot a position on the map.
The timings have been significantly reduced to give quicker map fixes.

2. Accuracy > The accuracy percentage is where the plot on the map shows to where the U-boat should be, but may not necessarily be.
The accuracy percentage has been significantly increased to show where the U-Boat is on the map at any time.
This allows you to press the Navigator’s Icon “Report Fix (Lat & Long) via Dead Reckoning” to update your Navigation Map position at any time with a high degree of accuracy.
The automated positional fixes are every 2 hours and your own map fixes can be shown by pressing the described icon at any time.
Dead Reckoning is shown by the letter D after the map fix.
Picture 4 > Dead Reckoning Icon.
https://s15.postimg.cc/lkoxv4kvv/4_Dead_reckoning.jpg

You also have the Navigator’s Icon “Show last fix on maps” which can also be pressed at any time.
This puts a circle around the last fix.
Very useful when using the TAI Map.
Picture 5 > Last Map Fix Icon.
https://s15.postimg.cc/nchwq2m97/5_Last_Fix.jpg

The TAI Map does not show any permanent fixes but places a temporary fix that lasts for a few seconds before disappearing.
To get around this you can use the Pause Key to lock the fix while you mark it.

You still have the Automated “Report Fix (Lat & Long) via Celestial Reckoning that updates your position at certain times of the day and night.
The 5 Celestial checks in the day occur every 4 hours and show the letter C after the map fix number:
1) Pre-dawn (Twilight)
2) Ante Meridian (AM) Sun.
3) Noon Sun
4) Post Meridian (PM) Sun
5) Post Sunset (Twilight)
These Automated map fixes depend on the prevailing weather conditions.
Picture 6 > Celestial Map Fix Icon.
https://s15.postimg.cc/qw3ufx6zf/6_Celestial_Map_fix.jpg

When fully surfaced you can also get a Weather forecast at any time.
This will show in the Message Box.

TDW’s Options File Editor Viewer (OFEV)
The changes needed for this Tutorial are made in the Real Navigation Tab by amending the patches showing there.
The Real Navigation patches picture shows there are a total of 8 patches.
Patch number 4 is automatically enabled Blue by default so you can see your boat on the map.
Picture 8 > Real Nav Tab Patches Menu.

Each relevant patch change setting is illustrated with its own picture so you know exactly what to change.
To change a setting click on the first set of numbers.
This opens a box where you will see the existing setting.
Change the setting to the one showing in the picture.
Click on the Accept button.
Each patch is done the same way by replacing the existing data by those shown in the relevant picture.

All calculations are randomly done so it is unlikely that the maximum will ever be used unless the circumstances due to injury to the Navigator if he is unfit at the time to make any calculations until he has recovered shown by his icon regaining its original color.
Picture 9 patch 1 > The maximum number of meters the Navigator can make could be up to 5,000 away from your actual position.

When you have finished making your changes in the OFEV:
Go to > Save
Select > File
Exit.
Enable the mods in JSGME if using your own mod list.

When your game loads you automatically get map fix number 1 which is a Celestial fix (C).
This is an accurate fix of where the U-boat is in Nautical Time.
This fix cannot be deleted.

I wanted to be able to produce a mod list for the SH4 beginner that has a lot more interest than ‘Stock’ but was not as advanced as some of the other interfaces available.

After all it is no good trying to run before you can walk.

Webster’s GFO v1.5 interface takes ‘Stock’ to a much higher level and when you add SCAF v1.5 (Ship Centered Accuracy Fix) and Max Optics the game is a pleasure to play.

All ‘Webster’s mods come with good documentation and explanations.

Scaf also comes with the Max Optics and includes Medal Fixes. It is well documented and explains fully what has changed and how it works.

Mod List Correct Order afaik

Game Fixes Only Mod v1.1

New Orders Bar Menu

Webster's No Crew Fatigue

Webster's Improved US Torpedo v2

Magnified Hud Dials for v1.5_Large

Bigger Better Protractors

Extra Allied naval bases for Stock SH4 + UBM v3.0

Webster's Ship Manoeuvring Fix

3000 Yard Bearing Tool (1920x)

Ship Centred Accuracy Fix (SCAF) for SH 1.5

MaxOptics3 for SCAF 1.5

Webster's New sonar view for v1.5

Eye Patch for Stock

Sobers Compass Mod Version Colour

Webster's Eliminate Floating Plankton

Webster's Upgraded Deck Gun v1

Remove Grain Effect

Ship Centered Accuracy Fix with Max optics

Scaf is available in a number of different interfaces other than GFO.

It is extremely accurate when using the ‘Stadimeter.

The ‘Recognition Manual’ uses a unique hot spot system to show where to place the stadimeter for each individual ship.

Check out the ‘Readme’ that comes with the mod.

So here could be your first mod soup.

This can also be used with ‘Auto TDC’ by un-ticking the box ‘Manual Torpedo Target Option’ in ‘Game Play Options.’

Here is my ‘Tutorial’ to go with this Mods List For Beginners.

Post #108 The Silent Hunter 4 Beginners Guide To Simple Manual TDC And How To Use The Position Keeper <> Step By Step Instructions.

Hi THEBERBSTER,

Just wondering bout this mod soup and am wondering why there's no ENV mod in it.
Arn't there any ENV mods around cause stock colors are... just stock.:shifty:

I don't need them myself, I play TMO with a couple of other mods... just wondering.

PS_ This is a great TUT on how to's, very inlightening read :up:

Hi HertogJan

This mod soup is to get someone who has not played or only played with Stock to be able to start with something that works and importantly reliable.

GFO is a big improvement on Stock.

I played a lot with it in my early SH4 days as I was learning the game so that is why I recommended it.

As most of the mods are Webster's and others are mentioned in his GFO readme you know that you are in safe hands.

I agree with you that the Real Environments Mod + GFO Patch could have been added but at the time I decided not to include it.

If someone who is interested in this reads Websters GFO documentation then they will see that there are other alternatives available also.

SH5 Tutorial > Did You Use Auto TDC Previously And Now Finding It Difficult With Manual TDC?

Here is a Step by Step Tutorial to help you succeed.
I guess if you are looking at this you will have previously been playing with Auto TDC and having the desire to progress to Manual TDC things are just not working out as you expected them to.
This Tutorial has been designed simply so as to give you the confidence to move forward and get the reward and enjoyment as to one of the ways of using Manual TDC.
First of all I am assuming that you did not have problems hitting Targets when using Auto TDC.
If you did then stop here as it could be that you have a game issue that needs to be sorted first.
Send me a PM explaining what is happening and we will try and sort it out together.

In this Tutorial we will not be using the XO Manual TDC.
We will not be using the Stadimeter.
We do not need to Identify the Target although you can if you wish.
All our data will be entered Manually into the TDC so you will need to be able see all of the Dials.
You can use the L Key in the Periscope Station to move the XO TDC to the lower right corner and out of the way.

The next point is, are you using Stock/Vanilla or a mod interface such as one of TDW’s New UI’s 7-4-2 or 7-5-0?
I will try to cover both as we go along.
The Stock player will not have the benefit of having the WEPS Officer/Gunner Icon for additional assistance.

Ok, so you have spotted a Target on your Navigation Map travelling from right to left (Port).
What do we need to do to get a suitable Firing solution?
1. The Targets Speed. (This is important, and we will use the 3 minutes and 15 seconds method to find it.)
2. The Range or Distance to the Target.
3. The Chronometer/Stop Watch.
4. The Bearing we will use to Fire at the Target. (This will always be 10° either side of 0/360°)
5. The AOB (This will always be 80° Port or Starboard depending on the Targets direction)

How do we already know how this is?
0/360° = 90° U-Boat Heading.
0° + 10° = 80° Port.
0/360° = 90° U-Boat Heading.
0/360° - 10° = 350° = 80° Starboard.

Measurements are taken from the Middle of the U-Boat.
Tool Markings can be made on the Navigation Map or the TAI Map.
If using the TAI Map then use the TAB Key to size the Map correctly.

First we need to get the Stop Watch. (O Key Stock/Vanilla)
Tip
All new Tool Marks can be done with Game Paused.
Adjustments can only be done with the Game UN-Paused.
Keep the Game Paused if you need to.
Delete Tool Map marks using the Eraser.
Take the Tool and enter again on the Map.
Next Pause Game.
Take the Ruler Tool and draw out a Line from the Targets Stern through the Bow to a position that you will be able to take up a 90° position to with your U-Boat.
This Line will be known as the Targets Course Line or (TCL)
Take the Protractor Tool and on the (TCL) draw out 90° with the length coming out long enough for you to put Way Points on to it.
The Protractor Arrow on the (TCL) Line always points away from the Target.
Take the Ruler Tool and from beside the 90° Line on the (TCL) draw out 1,200 metres.
This is the point that you need to be stopped at 0 Speed.
For All Stop use the @ Key.
Now place your Waypoints so the last one finishes at the 1,200 Metre mark.
Use the Mouse Wheel so you can zoom out for accuracy.
You will need to select a Speed that will get you there as quickly as possible but you do not want to over shoot the 1,200 metre mark ,so reduce your speed as you get closer.
Our aim is to Fire Torpedoes from around 1,000 metres so the 1,200 metres gives us 200 metres to play with as we will most likely need to make some positional adjustments to get the 90° required accuracy.
Start the Stop Watch.
Take the Marker Pencil Tool and place an X on the Targets Bow or Middle.
Un-Pause Game.
When 3 minutes and 15 seconds have passed Pause Game.
Take the Marker Pencil Tool again and place another X on the Targets Bow or Middle.
Take the Compass Tool and measure the distance between the two X’s.
We will say that this is showing 800 metres = 8 knots.
So we know the Targets Speed is 8 knots.
Remove the Stop Watch.
It is important that the Target does not see you as you will lose the opportunity and the Target will start to take evasive action.
Dive to Periscope depth when you get to the 1,200 metre position.
Go to your Navigation Map and in the Top Right Hand Corner is a Triangle Tool that you can Toggle which will Open and Close the Navigation Map Bearing Overlay Visibility Compass this will then place itself on the Centre of the U-Boat.
If you go to Your TAI Map do not open it fully.
In the Bottom Right Hand Corner is a Triangle Tool that you can Toggle which will Open and close the Navigation Map Bearing Overlay Visibility Compass this will then place itself on the Centre of the U-Boat.
Notice that each segment is 100 metres working itself outwards to maximise at 1,000 metres.
You can Toggle click it On and Off at any time when you need to remove it from over the U-Boat.
For the Tutorial we will call this the Attack Compass
Delete any remaining Waypoints.
Bring the Protractor Line to behind the U-Boat on the 180° degree line.
Go to the TCL line and is it still showing 90°?
Adjust as necessary with Game Un-Paused.
Now look at your 0° line on the Attack Compass.
This needs to be exactly placed in line with the 90° degree Protractor Line.
Ok so we need to make an adjustment.
Press the C Key to open the Compass or click your Mouse in the middle of the Compass Bar.
At the bottom of the Compass is a small bar (sometimes not easy to see)
Click on the bar and the Rudder will show.
Go to Slow Ahead and click on the Rudder’s degrees.
Red degrees to go Port (Left)
Green degrees to go Starboard (Right)
If you positioned your Waypoints correctly on the Protractor Line then you should only be looking at a few degrees of adjustment or less.
While the adjustment is taking place also look at the Protractor Line behind the U-Boat and reposition back on to the 180° degree Line.
Recheck your 90° Line on the (TCL)
Use the 0 ins Key or # Key to go to Rudder Amidships.
Use the @ Key to go to All Stop.
If you are happy with the result and the U-Boat is no longer moving then take the Protractor Line from behind the U-Boats Stern and place in the Middle of the U-Boat.
Take the Ruler and place the Line also on the Middle of the U-Boat.
Press the C Key to close the Rudder.
Raise the Attack Periscope a little at a time until you can see the Target on the TAI Map.
During all this time of course the Target has been closing.
Pause Game.
Check now whether the (TCL) needs to be redrawn?
The answer is probably yes.
Delete the (TCL) using the Eraser Tool.
Draw out a new (TCL) using the Ruler Tool.
You will probably notice that the Targets Heading is still the same.
The new (TCL) could be closer or further away from the U-Boat.
Delete the 90° Line by using the Eraser Tool.
Delete the Ruler Line by using the Eraser Tool.
Take the Protractor Tool and from the Middle of the U-Boat draw along the 10° Line until you reach the new (TCL).
With this Line in place it should show 80° AOB.
Use the Mouse Wheel to zoom for accuracy.
If it does not then Un-Pause Game.
Adjust the Protractor Angle to 80° and then Pause Game again.
Take the Ruler Tool and from the Middle of the U-Boat take it down along the 10° Attack Compass Line to the (TCL).
We will say that the Range is now showing 1,050 metres.
Looking at your Attack Map Compass we will say that your 80° AOB is showing between 10° and 11°.
Go to your Attack Periscope and place the Bearing between 10° and 11° degrees.
Click on the TDC Manual On/Off button.
Enter the Speed 8 knots.
Enter the AOB 80° Port.
Enter the Range 1,050 or 1,100 metres)
You will see the Periscope Bearing Dial showing between 10° and 11°.
Click on the TDC Manual On/Off button again.
All your Data has been entered.
Now look at the 2 Gyro Angle Dials.
The Left Dial is the U-Boat
The Right Dial is the Target.
Adjust the Periscope Bearing until both Dials are pointing upwards to show 0°.
We will say that this has moved the Periscope Bearing to 12°.
Set up your Torpedoes to Impact.
Set the Speeds to Fast
The Depth for Merchants about 5 should be ok.
Now if you move your Periscope out to the right you should be able to pick up the Target.
Use the Mouse Wheel to change the Periscopes Magnification larger.
Use the Space Bar to Lock the Target.
If you look at the Dial settings you will see that they have moved to correspond to the Periscope Bearing.
If you look at the Range Dial you will see that this is still set to 1,050/1,100 metres and has not moved.

Optional > If you using one of TDW’s NewUI’s 7-4-2 or 7-5-0
Click on the WEPS Officer/Gunner 3rd Icon from the Left.
To Identify the Target Press the 1st Icon on the Left.
Back to the main Icons pressing Icon 4 will Lock the centre of the Periscope on to the Target and you will see the Periscope Bearing move as the Target moves.
You can use your WEPS Officer/Gunner at anytime that you can see the Target on the Map.
You now also have the benefit of seeing the Hull diagram on the Torpedo Depth Gauge.
You can change the depth if you wish to.
You Fire your Torpedoes when the Crosshairs on your Periscope are on the 12° Bearing.
This should correspond with the Target on your TAI Map passing through your Protractor Line.

Stock /Vanilla
Set the Periscope Bearing on 12°
Check the Gyro Angles are at 0°.
Lock the Target with the Space Bar as the Bow enters the Periscopes Crosshairs
Fire your Torpedoes.
When the Target is coming from Left to Right (Starboard) you Line up on the 350° Attack Compass Line.
So what we have set up in this Tutorial is a 90° AOB fast shoot.
In theory if you shoot Torpedoes between 350° and 10° with the correct Range and the U-Boat Heading is at 0° then you should be successful.
With Escorted Convoys you carry out the same procedures with the exception of your Range that you will need to adjust.
I would suggest this should be between 2,000 and 4,000 metres.
This will give you time to slip away from the Escorts as they will be looking to search the 90° area.
Please note some Keyboard actions shown in the Tutorial may differ between Stock/Vanilla and TDW’s NewUI.

No unfortunately I have no explanation for what Trevally means by this.

In post #64 on the various campaign dates there is an entry for North Western Approaches that shows a start date of 21 September 1939 with an ending date of 01 April 1940.

On the morning of 28 November 1939 I sank 4 ships just east of the Thames Estuary and high tailed it home because my sub's hull integrity was at about 60% (had a run-in with a tiny escort with machine guns)

Arrived back in Wilhelmshaven on 30 November 1939. Ended my patrol and went into the mission briefing. The date in the upper left corner shows 30 November 1939 (I kinda expected something in early December)
I'm still pretty sure that the Eastern British Coastal Waters mission will be considered completed once the 01 December date is passed.

Question... There is no Iron Cross Mission Icon on the map yet for the North Western Approaches. Shouldn't that be there, even though the Eastern British Coastal Waters mission is still my "current assignment?"

I can try the leaving and coming back trick but I'm just curious.

BTW... several of the dates in that post are a bit wacky

Bases - Memel (31-08-1939 to 01-09-1939) Kiel (02-09-1939 to 31-09-1939) Wilhelmshaven (01-10-1939 to 31-06-1940)
Stock boat issue - VIIA
30 days hath September... ditto for June

Also I heard in a You-tube "Let's Play" that there's a "time machine" that can be used to advance the SH5 game date. Do you have a link? The leaving and coming back trick eats up two weeks on a vanilla set-up. I want to be sure to complete North Western Approaches with plenty of time so as to not miss out on Operation Wesserubung

THEBERBSTER

01-17-15, 06:07 AM

Hi HIO

Eastern British Coastal Waters Finishes December 1st

North Western Approaches Starts September 21st

So you will see both of these at the same time.

After December 1st you will only see North Western Approaches.

You have to wait until January 1st when South Western Approaches also comes on to the map.

On March 20th Operation Wesserubung comes on to the map to join the other 2.

During April two of the missions drop off leaving just South Western Approaches to end this first campaign.

Apart from Breaking the Fortress which has the tightest time span all the other missions should be achievable in the allotted time allowed.

The time advancement after ending a patrol should show on the navigation map when the new patrol is started.

If you use this mod you can set your own amount of time that you want to spend in the bunker.

Change Days In Bunker

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=188265 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=188265)

i think your boat is a VIIb as there are no VIIa boats in SH5

VIIa boats are small coastal boats, fewl crew, bow torpedoes only, and not designed for ocean going capabilities.

During this patrol Eastern British Coastal Waters you will be offered a boat upgrade to a VIIC.

This has external torpedo reserves available.

I do not know anything about a time machine.

When traveling from your base or to your base in safe areas (no aircraft) there is nothing to stop you using Travel Mode and TC x 1024.

No change needed for TWOS

Do you wonder why your hydrophone (KDB) goes into destruct mode when you reach 120m and there seems no logical reason for this to happen?

This happens because of the R.S.D. mod.

To overcome this problem you need to change the default setting Crash Depth=140.

There are 2 options.

Change the default 140 number to a higher number 200 –220 etc.
Or:

If you want to make it indestructible then just add a semi-colon in front of the line in the example below.

How To Download Mods And Put Them In The Mods Folder

This Tutorial can be used with all Silent Hunter Versions.

The mod used in this Tutorial is for example purposes only and can be deleted after you have followed the Tutorial if not required.

First of all a bit of discipline is needed as you will undoubtedly be adding more stuff as you get into the game, so a bit of order is needed.

Make a 'New folder' and call it something like ‘My SH Mod Store’ and put it somewhere convenient.

You will be using this to download any Silent Hunter (SH) mods in to.

I am assuming you have JSGME installed?

If you do not then go to my main tutorial post and carry out the step by step instructions.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=211804 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=211804)

You will also need '7 zip' if you do not have it then here is the download link.

http://www.7-zip.org/download.html (http://www.7-zip.org/download.html)

For example if we were wanting to download this mod.

'Bigger Better Protractors.'

Download link

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom//downloads.php?do=file&id=3355 (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=3355)

Click on the download link.

Click on Download > Bigger Better Protractors

Find your new folder > ‘My SH Mod Store’

Click on Save.

Now go to your > ‘My SH Mod Store’ folder.

You will now see the '7 zip icon' and next to it 'Bigger Better Protractors' in a zipped format.

Double click on it or right click on it and select 'Open.'

You will now see a folder > 'Bigger Better Pro…'

Click on 'Bigger Better Pro…' once and you will see it change colour now highlighted.

Now go to the 'Copy Tab' above and you will see that it wants to copy it to your > 'My SH Mod Store’ folder.

Press OK.

Press the 'Red X' to Exit.

You will now see in your ‘My SH Mod Store’ folder the new folder showing 'Bigger Better Protractors' that you just copied.

Double click on it or right click on it and select 'Open.'

You will now see 2 items.

The first is the 'data folder.'

The second is the text documentation ‘readme’ that tells you about the mod.

I would now suggest that you click 1 time on the ‘readme’ to highlight it.

Right click on it with your mouse and select ‘rename’

Press the ‘Del’ key and enter the name > ‘Bigger Better Protractors.’

Press Enter.

Right click on it again and it will highlight.

Select ‘cut.’

Press the 'Blue arrow' that is above and over to the left.

You will see it say back to ‘My SH4 Mod Store.’

You should now be back in your ‘My SH Mod Store’ folder.

Right click with your mouse and select ‘paste.’

You should now see 3 items in your ‘My SH Mod Store folder.’

You now need to find your ‘Mods folder.’

For example mine is D:\Games\Silent Hunter 4\Mods

Just click on each one until you see the 'Mods folder.'

Our download if you remember was:

Zip File Bigger Better Protractors > Folder Bigger Better Protractors > Folder data.

The folder that has to go in your 'Mods folder' is always the one before the ‘Data folder.’

Click once on the folder > ‘Bigger Better Protractors.’

Right click with your mouse and select ‘copy.’

Click 1 time on your ‘Mod folder.’

Right click with your mouse and select ‘paste.’

If you now open your ‘JSGME’ you should see the mod on the left side waiting to be enabled.

Right click on it with your mouse and select 'Explore.'

You should see the 'Data folder.'

If you see any 'Documentation folder' or 'Readme txt' documents then highlight it, right click with your mouse and select 'Delete.' to remove each one.

Press the Red X to Exit.

If at anytime you download a mod and cannot see the 'Data folder' then your mod is probably inside the folder you are looking at.

Important always check as your mod will not work if it is not enabled correctly.

You have the original as a backup in your ‘My SH Mod Store’ folder.

If you shade this information and then copy and paste it to your PC Notepad you can then edit it.

The option in TDW exe generic patcher disables an option to manually select target with binos and fire with deck gun on selected target. Instead of that deck gunners fire on the nearest target only and proceed to next only when the first one is destroyed.

I disabled the deck gun crew fireing automatically when target is designated for attack with deck gun patch and the gun works as it should.Don't exactly know what this patch is supposed to do but i think it somehow brokes the deck gun.

Just to inform you and the others who may have the same problem.:salute:

THEBERBSTER

02-05-15, 06:18 AM

Hi Oby

There are 2 patches In Tdw’s Generic File Patcher that affect the Deck Gun operating.

Patch 1 > No yellow triangle designation on unit when designated for attack with Deck Gun.

Description > Removes the yellow triangle present on the unit when designated for attack by crew with Deck Gun.

Patch 2 > Stops automatic firing of Deck Gun by crew when target designated for attack with Deck Gun.

Description > When player designates a target for attack with Deck Gun this prevents the automatic firing of the Deck gun by the crew until the player is ready to fire.

See also my 2 Deck Gun tutorials on Post #10 and Post #11 which also may explain a few things.

These tutorials will explain how either by selecting the officer on the bridge or by selection different icons from the Watch Officer affects how your Deck Gun works.

Hi crazyprudent a warm welcome to Subsim. :subsim:

Your problem is not related to your installation.

My advice would be to use the instructions on my tutorial post #188.

It would also be useful for you to have a look at my tutorial post #123 as some of this will help you to understand what else to look out for.

I do not know whether you are playing the stock game or using a different interface for example from TWOS or TDW's 7-4-2- or 7-5-0?

You should also be using TDW’s Generic File Patcher tutorial post #2.

If you are using mods then use the tutorial on post #9 and paste it so I can check it out for you.

The tonnage bar problem seems to come and go and has come to the point where it is better to take control of it without having to worry each time you play whether it will or will not work.

After 2 weeks of "really hard work" i saw this http://s6.postimg.org/oukayia1d/TDW_patch_applied.jpg ...

. The post #188 won't help me because the sunk tonnage is updated correctly in Captain's Log by the game itself, the problem is i don't see a tonnage a bar....I think that in TDW somewhere is a option that has something to do with message box messages or something like that...i even turn off advanced patches option like in post #185 from this http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=215401&page=13.

Hi rul

The first thing is that you do not need the tonnage bar to complete your objectives.

Get used to using the OHII information on my tutorial post #64.

All you need to understand is that the missions come on to and off the map depending when they start and when they finish.

Whether you complete it or fail it you will not know as there is no tonnage bar.

But that is not really important as if you had the tonnage bar and you still had a month to go before your next mission came up on the map you would still have to use that time patrolling.

Using my tutorial Post #188 will show you what the objectives are in each of your own Campaign's.

I am in the first Campaign Total Germany.

vdr was referriing to this 0000-00-00 in one of his posts.

Whether this is a TWOS thing or just random I do not know.

It is basically a date corruption of Year Month and Date.

I am less concerned about this now as it does not have an effect but just an irritation of not having the correct data showing, so I would not be too concerned.

Link to Post #1201 mods that puts the tonnage bar back.

And why would I want to highlight and open a Patcher File?
Which file or files should I click on "enable false"?
Should I only click on the Change 1? What about Change 2 or Change 3?

The Next question is:
Should I follow the instructions in Post #3 Replacing My Old TDW Generic File Patcher With A New One! after I have succeeded with Post # 2 Installing TDW's Generic File Patcher ?

__________________________________________________ ________
Suppliment Edit: Perhaps I missed the instructions on how to download a clean copy of SH5. Are there instructions on how to do it properly?

Hi macjim

Wow, you’ve got a lot going on there.

Where to start?

Quote >I downloaded the installer from Gamersgate
Download Silent Hunter ® 5- Battle of the Atlantic Gold Edition.exe

So you have a download edition, ok.

Quote > Somehow Ubisoft got involved and tried to patch the game.

This would be correct.

I cannot remember all of the installation process and I am assuming the download and the dvd work pretty much the same.

You have the first part of the installation which is the game.

The second part of the installation is the Ubisoft Game Launcher.

This brings up the Uplay screen so you can set up an account.

Your SH5 key, Login name, and password, are all locked together.

If you buy a new version at any time then you cannot use the same details again.

After you login to Uplay then an updating of the Game Launcher is done.

The Ubisoft Game Launcher verifies that you have a verified game copy each time you log in.

When this has finished.

You then need to

Go to the ‘Ubisoft Folder.’

Go to the ‘Silent Hunter 5 Folder.’

Go to the ‘Support Folder.’

Go to the ‘GameUpdater Folder’

Double click to run the ‘Gu’ ‘Application.’

This will update your installation to the current v1.2

This will show in the top right corner of your screen when you load the game.

After this you have an updated stock game.

If you are going to remove your SH5 you need to uninstall it correctly.

And then use a Registry cleaner.

See my tutorial post #70

For TDW’s Generic File Patcher (GFP) you need to follow my tutorial Post #2 and all is explained within.

Did you actually install it correctly.

If you did then you would have seen the 9 patchers at the end of the installation.

It sounds like you would be better to delete the current (GFP) patcher and start again.

Tutorial #3 is for those with existing patches enable in an existing GFP to take a snapshot of the settings so they can be downloaded in to a later patcher version.

I would also say I would not carry on with your current installation if you have compromised it.

You probably have missing or corrupted files if you have stopped the process.

It certainly is not worth trying to repair it.

If you are able to get the dvd version it is really cheap from Amazon and you will not have the problem with installation corruptions like downloading can do.

My tutorials have everything there to get new players up and running successfully.

I will leave it here for now, and let you think over what you wish to do.

If you have any further questions just let me know.

Thanks Peter,

quick response.

I did get the TWD generic file patcher working. After I had reinstalled the game and allowed Ubisoft to update it to v1.2 Was able to see 9 files. But I was not sure which ones to change from false to true.

I changed the first file and then the game would launch but if I tried to start a mission, campaign, or load a game it would crash to desktop.

So I have uninstalled the game again.

Perhaps I should look for a CD of the game. Unfortunately Amazon will not ship by post. Mail is the only reliable delivery option here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update:
I think I may have it working but do not know what I should be changing.
I have reinstalled and the game works.
I have updated and it is v1.2
I have a Ubisoft (Uplay) account

From http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2182954&postcount=2
I am on step Returning To The Patcher
part 5.
One of the prompts is for file SH5.exe prompts to save to C:\Users\MAc\Desktop? should I click on Yes? Or should I change it to the directory that all of the other files are save to D:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5 ?

And what files "Change Numbers" should I click on that are "Enabled False"? All of them?

Hello, I have a few questions as I am confused by the following instructions regarding "How To Stop Your Torpedoes From Driving You Round The Bend"

"If you are playing ‘Stock/Vanilla’ then select

Select the Base Folder 1 and only the 5th Mod Folder."

The folders are not numbered, so I am not sure which is the base folder and which is the 5th? I don't really want to replace all the effects in the game, is it not possible to just fix the torpedoes so that they run straight? (I enabled all the torpedo patches in the generic patcher and now all I can shoot is circles, I was hoping to find the fix here).

Thanks,
SMH

04-03-15, 06:36 PM

Hi SMH

That clears it up..mine were not sorted in that order, having the folder names helped. I'm off to test if this fixes the 20 torpedo patches issue I have been having. One more question before I go: can I enable only the torpedo fix, or do I have to use the base folder as well? Trying to avoid upgrading effects if I don't have to.

Thanks,
SMH

04-04-15, 05:06 AM

Hi SMH

Yes you need the base mod folder 1.

Folders 2-3-4-5 contain patches that work with the base mod.

This is an essential mod that needs to be activated in full.

Is TDW Generic File Patcher and TDW File Editor Viewer combatible with The wolves of steel mega mod?

Do I have to first install TWOS mod and then TDW File patcher or vice cersa?

04-08-15, 07:20 PM

Hi,

I followed your tutorial "Beginners Mod List Including Essential Mods" to great effect. But there is one more thing missing I think.

For the R.E.M mod you say that you can leave out "No Hyd on surface" mod if you don't feel like it. But if you do it is essential to enable Folder 1 or Folder 2 mods (R.E.M. - hydrophone mute for player fix), otherwise the hydrophone doesn't seem to work properly. There were no contacts on the hydrophone (sound and text), only contacts on map sometimes. At least that was the case for me. Might be worth adding that info.

THEBERBSTER

04-09-15, 05:59 AM

Hi Havner

Thanks for the information.

I have removed that sentence it.

Peter

Havner

04-09-15, 06:11 AM

I have removed that sentence it.
I wouldn't say removing it altogether is the best option. The other fixes (folder 1&2 - 'hydrophone mute for player fix') are good alternatives as well if you don't want 'no hyd on surface'.

THEBERBSTER

04-09-15, 03:25 PM

Hi Havner

I have never seen either of these other options being used.

This is quite likely because later mods no longer require their use.

R.E.M goes back to 2013 and a lot has happened since.

I have tried to keep things simple as it is aimed at someone possibly wanting to try mods for the first time.

Options are ok, but they can also lead to confusion unless they are understood.

I have never had the need to use either of them while I have been playing SH5.

Peter

Havner

04-09-15, 03:41 PM

This is quite likely because later mods no longer require their use.
I have never had the need to use either of them while I have been playing SH5.

That's my point. They are not required with "no hyd on surface". But that mod makes the hydrophone work from 20 meters down. It doesn't work on periscope depth. And this might be a little to difficult for a newbie like me. Hence the other 2 are a good alternative.

TDW’s Options File Editor Viewer (OFEV) Making Changes Using The Py File.

With this method you do not need to disable any mods in JSGME.
The Py file is laid out in the same sequence as you are used to seeing the difference being it contains text and numerals.

Each Patch can be easily identified from the text between the # marks.
Each Option here is the same Option as seen in the OFEV.
Changes are made by changing > True to False and > False to True.
Erase the current setting and type in the new one.
Numerical changes are made by choosing a setting from the Options showing.
Here you will see Default, Minimum, Maximum depending on the patch.

Extreme caution should be observed when making any changes.

Complicated patches like the 'Ships Journal' should not be attempted here as changes are needed to be made to other files outside of the OFEV.

Common sense should be used to only make changes to patches that are easily understood what the result of any change means.
If in doubt then revert to disabling the mods and make the change by launching the OFEV.

Picture 1 > Shows the OFEV path to the py file.
https://s29.postimg.org/ocd9ibutj/1_py_Path.jpghttps://s14.postimg.cc/843fakyv5/1_py_Path.jpg

https://s27.postimg.org/ip5fa8fdv/2_py_opend.jpghttps://s14.postimg.cc/cd85crhk1/2_py_opend.jpg

When changes have been completed.
Go To > File
Select > Save
Exit.

It is good practice at this time to make a copy of the py file as a backup.
Your OFEV should now be showing the changes you made.

How To Convert Kilometres To Knots.

Example > Ship Travels 240 metres in 1 minute.

Calculation > 240 Metres x 60 Minutes in an hour = 14,400 Metres = 14.4km.

To Convert Kilometres Per Hour (KPH) to Knots divide by 1.85

14,400/1000 = 14.40/1.85 = 7,783 or 7.8 knots = 8 Knot.

How To Calculate A Targets Speed By Using The Periscope Cross Hairs.

Count the number of Seconds it takes for the > Targets Bow and Stern to pass across the > Periscope Cross Hair.
Time taken = metres per second.
Multiply the number of seconds taken by 3,600 (number of seconds in an hour)
Divide the total by 1.85 (To convert KPH to Knots)

Length of the Target is needed from the Recognition Manual.

Target > Small Passenger Type Merchant 1,719 tonnes.
Length > 80.0 metres.
Number of seconds taken > 25.
Length 80.0 divided by 25 seconds = 3.20 metres per second.
3.20 metres per second x 3,600 seconds in an hour = 11,520 metres/1000 = (11.52km).
11,52km divide by 1.85 to convert Kilometres Per Hour (KPH) to Knots = 6.22, or 6 knots.
Target is traveling at approximately 6 knots.

7A has a rear torpedo tube on the above water line and a Net Cutter on the front.

7B has a Net Cutter on the front, but no rear tube above the waterline.

7C has no Net Cutter or above water torpedo tube.

7C/41 has a built in radar and a radar housing built into the conning tower, no net cutter or above water torpedo tube.

Courtesy acknowledgement to V13dweller

A much easier way to tell apart the VIIA and VIIB (especially as the game makes it hard to see any detail of the schematics in the sub info screen and if you have external cam disabled) is that the VIIB holds 14 total torpedoes (2 in external reserve), while the VIIA only holds 11. (and has no external reserve)

I did actually. But still was unsure. Nevertheless its all sorted out. Thinking about it intensively I realized it just can be the one from the base mod!

Thx for your reply!

If you have just finished your install then it is important that you carry out the following.

Go to the ‘Ubisoft Folder.’

Go to the ‘Silent Hunter 5 Folder.’

Go to the ‘Support Folder.’

Go to the ‘GameUpdater Folder’

Double click to run the ‘Gu’ ‘Application.’

This will update your installation to the current v1.2

This will show in the top right corner of your screen when you load the game.

You should also change the Sh5.exe Application found in your Silent Hunter 5 main folder to Run as Administrator.

Go to the Program (x86) Folder

Go to the Ubisoft Game Launcher Folder.

Change the 1st Ubisoft Game Launcher Icon .exe Application to Run as Administrator

Thank you for the detailed advice. Since I have problems with my current activation key (as I bought my current copy second hand) I ordered a brand new copy from ebay, Should be there in one week or so and then I will do the steps. In the meantime deinstall and delete the Ubisoft folder completely?
