Need a bit of help

Hey guys,

I've played SH4 in the past, and decided to get SH5 last week (a bit late, since the game was released ages ago).

I'm still trying to catch up with the new things in SH5. I'm on my second mission now in the Total Germany campaign.

I'm finding it hard to locate any ships. For some reason the only contact reports I receive from the Bdu are hundreds of kilometers away.

I'm still trying to figure the hydrophones out. I wish Ubisoft made a much more in-depth tutorial, because they don't explain anything in the game, and the manual is .. crap.

I can't find the recognition manual, I think it's at the right of my screen, but it seems that because of the screen resolution I can't open it. I tried to have a look in my \Silent Hunter 5\ folder for a Pagelayout file, but can't find any..

Everytime I stop the submarine, the Officer recommends doing a search pattern. The only problem is... where do I activate a search pattern? I've tried talking to him directly but it's not there, so where do I get the search patterns?

As I said I'm in the second mission, so I don't really have a problem with the campaign or other warships... yet. There are tons of mods available, but I don't really want to change the game that much, not until I'm done with the campaign.

I saw that there is an extended campaign mod, will this mod change the 1939 - 1943 campaign in any way?

Also, which mods do you guys suggest? (only to fix annoying bugs and to change a few other things). I don't really want a lot of new things in the game, maybe just more ships or a better submarine (dials etc).

If you guys could give me a short list of the mods that are absolutely necessary, that would be a great help. I realise that there are probably 100 people who already asked for a shot list of mods, but as I said, I don't really want to change the things that I don't have to..

Thank you in advance
