Well, if you hover your mouse over the bottom of the screen, officers command bar will pop-up and then you can select appropriate commands.

You can also watch few videos from the FAQ and tips section...

Can you post few screenshots of your UI so that I can confirm that everything is installed correctly?

You really deserve a medal for putting up with my flu addled brain.
My game seems to be downloading something, not sure what. Once that's complete I'll try hovering the mouse. Not too sure why I didn't pick that up in the video... If that doesn't work which I'm sure it will I'll pop up a screenie.

Thanks for all the work you're doing.

Although the mod it self is intended for average SH player you may find it somewhat "hardcore". Real navigation will make your job much harder and you'll find your submarine very vulnerable to enemy fire and annoyingly sluggish and slow underwater. Your "tonnage" will become much more appreciated with this expansion.

*If you have recognized your mod and from some reason you don't want your mod included in the Megamod please let me know and I'll react immediately!
*DO NOT add any additional mods if you are not 100% sure what you are doing! Most of the standalone mods are incompatible with this expansion .

*Setup notes:

Step 1:
Make a clean SH5 installation and make sure that the game is patched to v1.2.0. It is recommended for you to use "custom"installation option and to check "German voices". Note that the expansion is optimized for game installation in English language texts with German voices.

Step 2:
Enter the game, start new campaign and exit the game as soon as cinematic intro starts.

Step 3:
Open Main.cfg file (Documents/SH5/data/cfg) and make following changes...

[TIME COMPRESSION]
; The first value is the default one, the second value is used when 'travel mode' is activated.
; The two values should be separated by a comma.
; If only one value is specified, that value is used for both default and travel mode.
TimeStop=0
RealTime=1
LandProximity=1,64
CriticalDamage=1
CrewEfficiency=256
AirEnemyDetected=1
SoundEffects=4
CharacterAnim=32
FriendDetected=512
EnemyDetected=512
RadioReport=512
Particles=32
PrayState=1
HunterState=1
3DRender=512
Maximum=512
; These are highly recommended settings which should provide the highest possible level of realism and game stability. 
; You can copy/past lines above

and, down below in the same file...

[DEVELOPING]
Modding=Yes  ;<=Note removed ";" mark
;MenuEditor=Yes
;DebugScripts=Yes

Open CareerHistory.cfg (Documents/SH5/data/cfg) and make following changes...

HasCompletedTutorial=true

Step 4:
Download and extract content of The Wolves of Steel 1.05 - Subsim Community SH5 Megamod archive into your main Silent Hunter 5 folder. By default, path to your main SH5 folder should be "C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5".
Download the latest update and extract it to your "Silent Hunter 5/MODS" folder.

Step 5:
Start JSGME.exe found in the main Silent Hunter 5 folder (it will ask you something about the "MODS" folder, just press "OK") and enable contained mods in this order...(JSGME may appear frozen while enabling the megamod, just let it finish it's job / Say 'Yes' to all JSGME warnings)

1. The Wolves of Steel 1.05
2. The Wolves of Steel 1.05 - Update No. xx
3. The Wolves of Steel 1.05 - Real Navigation_by TheDarkWraith (optional, but highly recommended)
4. The Wolves of Steel 1.05 - *x* Resolution Patch (optional, stock settings are for 16:9 displays)

All about JSGME - Generic Mod Enabler

Step 6:
Properly activate TDW generic patcher and restore "TWoS 1.05_Snapshot.gps". The patcher, snapshot and install instructions are already placed in the main game folder (Silent Hunter 5/TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_168_0).
(Steam version doesn't support generic patcher and therefore this megamod too)

How to properly activate TDW Generic Patcher.

Step 7:
SH5 may appear frozen on start, nothing unusual, wait a few sec...Start new campaign and choose "Skip tutorial? >> Yes". Don't forget to save/reload the game first time your avatar appears in the bunker (do this every time you start new campaign or advancing to the next one)...Happy hunting...

*DO NOT add any additional mods if you are not 100% sure what you are doing or you may induce all kind of stability and gameplay related issues!
Keep in mind that most of the standalone mods outhere are incompatible with this expansion.
Please don't discuss in this thread any potential issues caused by your own custom modlists and unsupported mods.
Also, make sure to pay special attention to FAQ and Tips section and feel free to ask in this thread for any additional elucidation.

*Full game reinstallation is highly recommended when replacing old with new megamod version (for example v1.04 to v1.05) !
In order to save your progress, you should backup your bunker gamesaves only, located in "Documents/SH5/data/cfg/SaveGames" folder.
However, old gamesaves compatibility is not guarantied at all and you may easily broke your game by doing this.

* Only first 19 min of the tutorial are necessary, other is personal preference of the author

looks awesome

[Choum]

Is it a normal thing or a problem on my setup that the U-Flask (in the single mission for example) have no crew on the forward flak in front of the submarine ?

Did you "alt-tab" from the running game and back? If so, this could be the the reason, there's only one solution - restart game.

[ThaFr0ggy]

It's an issue with the U-FlaK:

Current issues:
Front gun - no visible crew
Front gun not operational for player (shielded, 37mm) until it's replaced with quad 20mm trough bunker upgrade. (All other flak stations are OK)

I just couldn't make them work. I don't think that it's even possible after all...

[Emil]

In Medeterranian compaign there all Tacktics, Sensores and Weapons for escorts are set as Early. Is it work as designed or designers foregot to change it as Middle ?

[WildBlueYonder]

I still am confused about the campaing.

I finished the Danzig bay mission (it's Sept 2nd, ENDTIME SCHEDULED Sept 5th) , the next should be British coastal water, but should I get home before the 5th or just cruise along at sea and then automatically I will be teleported on the 5th?

[hardhans]

Just head back to port and dock, will be given new mission before setting off again.

[WildBlueYonder]

So let's say I dock on the 3rd, will I still be able to get a new mission even if the end date of the one I'm on is on the 5th?

[palmic]

When Your mission in TWOS expire, you can see its already inactive at top left corner of map view on patrol.

You just have to return home and ask for another mission in dock. That should be all.

[WildBlueYonder]

Yes, my question was, should I return home after expiration date, or before?

Also, a side note, do you use the 4 Bearings method at all?
