PLEASE help! its a XO problem!!
 

my XO usual text is like :

captain : i have an unknown "tanker" " bearing" 300 degrees, "range" 400 meter......etc etc


the word tanker bearing and range should be underlined !!

it is - but the word tanker is not underlined !!

so its impossible to click on it and choose the right ship.....

i installed the steel wolves mod ver carefull and very correct.

can it be that the feature of this mode is to not let me choose the ship anymore ?

i can identify the ship with another book and send the mast- height to the XO directly - but it would be much cooler like i know it from the past...like clikcing on the "word" and choose the right ship ....

hope someone can help me ...that would be the only thing i could not solve by myself...

The Wolves Of Steel Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) & Game Tips (Please Look Here First Before Posting A Question) (Do not post your problems here if you have added additional mods to TWOS make a new thread)

Yes, it makes it too easy.
TWOS is based on your career realism > realistic 100%.
You can make it easier by not using Real Navigation but adding the Wind And Smoke mod.
This still leaves higher difficulties levels than you would normally find embedded in the game.
Modders prerogative.

im not using real navigation :)
that was too hard ....but maybe just for the moment ...i love the wolves of steel mod because everything is more realistic in my opinion....can not say exactly what..it feels better..the navigating and the crew management down below the screen...everything is very nice!

is it maybe possible to just get this one feature with the ships back ?

it seems like - if i deaktivate all my mods- its still not working .
im afraid there is something deleted ?

i exactly have the wind and smoke activated and real navigation is off.


i was reading the steelwolves thread very carefull and there is also written :

- Forget about mathematical and GPS precision with this expansion. Almost everything is uncertain and randomized, including torpedoes speed and depth, your true position in SH world merchants AI crew fighting damage ect ect.

THATS exactly what i love about silent hunter(press pause and draw the lines and calculate the **** out of everything) ...would you recommend to better not play with this mod ?

Hi wurzl
If you want to play with manual targeting then I would say you are stuck with what you have got.
Auto targeting is basically point and shoot with all the calculations done for you so you do not need the TDC.
sobers mega mod would be the natural alternative followed by the Magui mega mod Wolves Of The Deep which is a total contrast to the other two as it does not use real navigation or TDW's Options File Editor Viewer IIRC.
Well worth investigating.
All can be found in my tutorials.

okay thank you very much - at them moment i try to hit a merchant - take me now already 2 days ....hit it once 5 minutes ago ...slowly but steady my calculations are becoming worth the effort .....i will stay with the wolves of steel mod :)


thank you !

:wah: ... i deleted the whole game just to look if the wolve of steel packages really is the reason for this issue that its "impossible" to identify ships.

it is the reason !



so now i wonder wich of these mods is the guilty one to have this nice feature back that i can choose with the XO the right ship .....

anyone have a clue ?
ive looked at the forums whole day ,..

maybe it is my fault.... but this guy fo example has the same mod:

https://youtu.be/nsoWkM-yuFs?t=523
AT : 8:43 he identifies the ship exactzly like i would love to do it.

the ship name has full a underline and seems to be "choosable"
like bearing , range ,speed.....


i installed the game without mods again and it worked.
but without wolve of steel mod its not playable for me because..everyone knows it:har:

THEBERBSTER you seem to be someone who can maybe know the solution to my problem î was reading all your tutorials etc.

i found the answer !

- How do you access a recognition manual that can feed TDC?
Press "E" key or notepad lookalike charts GUI button on the bar near right edge of the screen. Recognition manual's "drag" tab will become visible near left edge of the screen. Stock Rec. manual in XO dialog screen is disabled because it's incorrect and incomplete...

but everyone is playing with the recognition manual XO dialog screen.

CAN it become enabled ??

Hi wurzl
Shaefer's is using an older version of TWOS before the identification icon was removed.
V1.04 patch 13 was the last time patch that contained it IIRC.
V1.05 has continued to make the game harder.
Peter

okay


its good to know, ...i have to deal with it:hmm2:


i think im gettting more and more into this materia


thank you for answering always .

i can finaly start to play the game :subsim:
