a) Go to: […]\SilentHunter5\data\Scripts\AI There are a lot of *.aix files there (plain text, containing the logic for the AI)
b) Go to: […]\SilentHunter5\data\Cfg – you have sim.cfg and sensors.cfg
c) Also, open ships in GoblinEditor, merge the *.sim file – there are the AI controllers, with various parameters for tuning

Thats also what I know...

Besides there should already be some AI out there

Well thats great news! If its all there then SH5 is going to be superb one day.

PS: I love the "i am told" bit. At least there is some communication occuring! :-)

I just want a freaking patch... any patch.

It's been a month! Something needs to happen soon. My interest is waning.

I'd settle for just a stadimeter and hydrophone fix for now.

Its curious how a thread on 'begging' for a patch quickly shifts to "Well it is modable" as if that was an acceptable manner of practice.

What about pepole whom dont even know what a mod is let alone how to do it or apply one.

Simply put its broken... fix it. ;)

Yup, we don't represent everyone who has purchased this game.

Wellll, the game itself presumes 2 things. 1. you have an internet connection so you're able to go on line and learn how to do the modding. 2. that you'll take it upon yourself to fix their broken game using what you've learned according to presumption #1.:haha:

Well thats an ideal we'd all love to have the luxury of demanding from Ubisoft. Problem is IF they release a patch one would hope they will fix the stuff modders cannot fix themselves.

Just trying be realistic that not all will be fixed. I think their past record justifies that cynicism.

This is what I've been preaching... to the wind :x

Why people are so happy that a broken game may be fixed by the unpaid community is beyond me. This will only encourage more copanies to release unfinished, buggy software.

Hell, I might even invest into some Ubisoft stock :doh: It seems their target audience is happy at whatever piece of crap it's thrown in their way... :shifty:

always the same crap, you don't even own the game.

Is your life so empty that you have nothing better to do than insult the rest of the posters who play and enjoy the game?

You dont like SH5, we get it. Sh3 was the same "piece of crap" when it came out, what does that say about you?

get a life.

hold on a minute.
offending SH3 won't help SH5 in any way.

thank you.

No it wasn't. :yawn:

I was a day 1 owner of SH3 and, despite some flaws, it was very enjoyable right from the start. I don't remember so many game breaking issues.

True, I don't own SH5 but I played it a few times, so I KNOW what I'm talking about. I truly wonder how it's even remotely possible to defend Ubisoft or this sofware.

I must agree with you that its taking an awfull long time to bring out a patch. Either they are working on a massive fixes in the patch , or they are working on other projects and also on the patch when there is time. I fear its the last one though.
