Well, I've tried everything!!! No Go
 

Well, I have tried everything I know and the program still crashes after I try to load my mission where I ended back in St. Naire. :damn: So, It looks like I will have to do a complete new install. :( So, I will need to know where I can get the following: ungrade to version 1.4b, MVP-1.0; RUb1.45 and JSME. :-? Thanks. Robert
Oh, two more questions, how do I get the words "good hunting" in my signature with the words in red; will I still be able to continue from my last patrol which was #16?

The worse came about!
 

Nothing I did helped. So I have to do a clean install of the game. Need to get the upgrade to version 1.4b and then the Generic Mod Enabler JSGME. Then I hope I can go from there. Oh, the uninstall left my 14th patrol. :D Robert.

Robert,

Try to load a game "before mission", not in the middle of it. It might work.

If this fails, unload (via JSGME) all the mods you installed the last 2-3 days. Again load a saved game "before mission", not in the middle of it. It might work. You will lose only one mission.

Also read each mods documentation carefully. Read again my previous post / reply. I have done this mistake many times. One of them was yesterday (and I play this game almost a year).

Best,

I had to do a clear install of the game, nothing else I tried worked. So I uninstalled it, kept my saved career and files. Restarted the computer. Checked the game. My crew is the came as they were but I cannot go to a saved mission, I have to continue and it works. So now I have to upgrade to v 1.4b and install the mod enabler to get started again. I'm not leaving the base until I know that I'm installing mods correctly. Thanks. Robert

A very small hint: install only one at a time. Go on patrol and check if everything works. Return to base/exit and install another mod. Repeat over and over until all is installed.

zz

I will do that this time. I have just activated the originals I had before - MVP1.0, RUb1.45,RecManualMod and JCW_Intro. Now I will go on patrol. Thanks a bunch. Robert

Hurrah :D It works :up: and yes, I will only install one mod at a time. The next one I will install is the BlueNightMap. Robert

Hurrah :D It works as I have restarted my 16th Patrol to BE29. :) Yes, I agree with you. :up: I will only install one mod at a time and then go on patrol to see if it works. The next mod I intend to install is the BlueNightMap, I don't like the redish tinge. :down: Night time is not red, it is dark and blue suits me just fine. :lol: I was lucky when I uninstalled it, I save my career files and other files. The mods I have at the moment are: RUb1.45, MVP-1.0, RecManual from Augie64, JCW_Intro and the Sound Trainer. It's cool to be able to play it again. :up: Thanks. Robert.

Sorry, I forgot that I had made the quote
 

I didn't notice that I had made the quote before, Please excuse my dumb move. :oops: Robert.

Navigation Tool
 

I forgot to mention. I obtained a Staedtler Navigational Protractor. It is square and clear plastic. I used it in the original Silent Hunter and it sure come in handy sometimes :D Robert

Nice to see that things now work properly. :D

Cheers :rock:

Thanks. How do I get writing in red above my u51 sub signature?

Oh, that's easy. Just write:

If you're quoting me, remember to remove the [code] thingies I added. :D

Cheers :rock:

Thanks
 

Hi martes. Thanks very much for the information. I am doing my 16th patrol now and hope to find something good, perhaps a convoy :D Robert.

Couple questions
 

When submerged, I cannot get a view of my sub, how do I do that? Also having problems with key strokes, in a command to maintain depth = A, I have to repeatedly press the key before I get any response out of it. I am presently attacking a convoy and the seas are calm and I have my torpedoes set at 2 metres but I'm missing. :damn:

Re: Couple questions
 

About the view, you have to press F12 for the free cam or the " . " for the ship cam. The free cam will not be accessible if you have checked in realism options "No external view".

Regarding the convoy, after you hit the fist ship or someone spots your periscope, the ships will start zig-zagging and it will be diffucult to hit them unless you are very close (between 300 - 500 m.) with steam torpedoes set on "fast", or very experienced.

Best,

VonHelsching

Re: Couple questions
 

I hardy ever missed before on attacking but I guess there is always a first time :lol: . I have to fire at shallow depths because the destroyers have a shallow draft. Thanks for the information about the view. In attacking the convoy, I have two destroyers after me, a Clemson and a V&W. I had to dive to periscope depth and I'm too far away yet. I have been sending the torpedoes slow or medium speed. :-?

Torpedo Range
 

According to the SH3 manual the maximum ranges are: G7a - slow, 12,500 m, medium 7,500 m, fast 5,000 m. G7e - 7,500 m. How realistic are these ranges mentioned in the manual. Are they actually correct in the game? :roll:

Re: Couple questions
 

While submerged, I pressed F12 and all I got was a view of the surface yet I was 50 metres deep. :cry:

Re: Couple questions
 

Read the manual about the way to navigate in external view using the arrow keys, shift and ctrl buttons.

A quick way to submerge your external cam is to press ctrl (and keep it), left mouse click (and keep it pressed) and drag the mouse towards your direction.
