Question Open Horizons II

Rowddy · 08-23-12, 01:45 AM

hello everyone,

After being away for quite some time, i'm back

I completly reinstalled SH5 and installed the latest version of Open Horizons II with 2 included mod files, further then that i have not installed any other MOD's (yet). As i begin my 1st mission in the Baltic i noticed that all the docked ships in the port are grey ( i see them as grey ships without details just outlines filled with grey). My question is what did i do wrong?

Txs in advance for any answers

Check that you have updated the stock game to v1.2 (see top right main menu)

If not - remove all mods - run:-
C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\Support\GameUpdater\GU.exe

re-install mods

Yup that did the trick

many txs for the fast reply.

i tried a mission but i forgot how to hit a sgip with a torpedo

i can lock it but then the toorpedo's still not come even close to te target. What i remeber from long time ago was that once you got a lock on a ship then the torpedo would hit unless it made some evasive manouvres. i tried this mission on the easy mod to get familiar again with the controls. so what am i doing wrong now? i also noticed that i not can find the option to tell the gunners to shoot at targets just mann the guns AAA and deckgun but then they not do a thing when a ship is near or a plane

Use Lock only to turn on TDC and check the ship type you plan on sinking. Then click Break Lock and turn off TDC. You will then see the numbers 1, 2, and 3. Now you're set to set torpedo speed, depth, and magnetic or impact. Keep the scope's cross hairs on the part of the ship you want the torpedo to strike and then press Fire, and hopefully watch the fire works.

Play with this using a Historical Mission for practice until you know how it all works and you're sinking ships. Do Not use a campaign save for obvious reasons.
