Im here now...SH5 waters...
 

I have worn out my Sh3, so it was time for something new. I was probably the last person in the world to adopt SH5, but I was anti...you know. My wife saw SH5 in the bargain bin, and thought a new sub game might be fun for me. So here I am...I will miss SH3, but its been along time since I got any pleasure from it. Plus SH5 cost me 5 bucks...so take that Ubi! Im on my 1st solo patrol, and have had one crash already. Lost about 10 minutes worth of navigating. Anyway, im reading the manual (lol) and watching my boat cruise out of the harbor. Does anyone know how I can get a depth report?

Im not on that page yet I guess.

Oh....and how do I apply my custom difficulty level to my campaign? I set it, but I still have external views and all that jazz. Ideas?

Thanks again,

Not even close. There are several of us who will still not buy it until...you know.

As to the rest, I'm glad you're enjoying it. It has come a long way since release, and though it still has a way to go, many people like it a lot. Have fun. :sunny:

Thanks to some dedicated modders on here, SH5, I find, is worth playing... Gameplay wise, it's not that different to SH3, how could it be, it's the same subject matter, but it looks oh so nice!

Sailor Steve, you get around. I thought you stayed on the SH3 boards. I understand your holdout.

After reading the "extensive manual" (sarcasm), I still cant find a depth sounder.

Anybody?

have you updated to 1.2?

I'm pretty sure after this there is a little keel shaped thing at the bottom of the depth settings left side of screen...

I use the Mighty Fine Crew Mod and the More Crew Orders mod, which then makes it possible to click on the navigator and then select depth under keel...

Also if you download and install TheDarkWraiths UI mod, that has SH3 style crew icons at the bottom of the screen with all the classic SH3 controls, including DUK

i think that once you mod sh5 up to waht u want it become a much better game....but ubisoft trailer did show much moer than the actually put itto the game big let down :(

Awesome...thank you...I will look into that right now. As for the update stuff, when I installed the game and launched...it did a bunch of auto-updating...so I assume

If I remember right there is none - Install 'NewUIs_TDC_6_6_By theDarkWraith', mod.

I cant find one if there is. Why would they make a sim without a sounder? Its not like I can look out the window to see how far the bottom is...



Thanks for the linkage, I will install that later today. I also didnt like the torpedo computer...lack there of, so thats the next mod to install.

It was added with patch 1.2 - check top right of main menu to see your version.:up:

Like Trevally says make sure you're running 1.2, or you'll have trouble with some of the mods.

:salute:

I faithfully read every forum on Subsim, except the modern games threads, as that subject doesn't interest me at all. I try to limit my comments concerning SH5 to a minimum, but I pitch in where I can. While I still refuse to buy it, I support the game and the people who play and mod it.

Thats what I meant!
