Campaign issue

No sir,I wouldn't use a pirate version of anything.Bought my copy at Fred Meyer.Now I really have to work at why I can't get past the first campaign mission.I actually backed the boat into the slip,and still ended up standing on the dock with nowhere to go after the skipper talked to me.

You must talk to the skipper twice - first time to listen to his geopolitical situation and war effort briefing. This is the right time to pick a mission you want to do (by selecting one of 2 crosses available on the map around GB). Then quit the dialog screen and talk to the guy again, this time to sail for your first real battle patrol.

The guy is just hanging around, standing by the table, next to the wall. There's also another guy by him, an engineer - talk to him to set up your torpedoes, camouflage, new equipment and such.

Thank you my friend.I didn't know which characters to talk to.I'm underway for Britain with my first command.I must say SH V is fun but a bit to tough at first learning all the ropes.Without the mods,it wouldn't be much fun.Thank you again!

Yeah. I had exactly the same problem at start - didn't know how to go to patrol after doing training. They gave us all these shiny blinking message indicators at the top of the screen... but they didn't care to make one that says "Talk to the bloody officer standing by the wall and click crosses".

Took me a while to realise that everything works for you but you just don't know where to click.

One of the mods I'm using keeps the little cartoon like picture of speaking from being visible before that person speaks.That is why I didn't think to go to the skipper the second time,so I could get on with my campaign.My guess is it's the No Magic Crew mod or the Mighty Fine Crew mod.
