Hi there, I am new to this forum and to the game.I was hoping I have installed these mods correctly but did I need to do anything else with the open Horizons 2 mod.All I have done is installed the mod and started a new career.Did I need to edit anyhting manually?Here is a picture of my mods.I am posting this because some of them are greyed out.

Thanks for the help and the welcome.I have installed these mods from Sobers mega mod thread and am getting low frame rates (between 19 and 28fps)

I have tried all the graphic settings ingame on the highest settings and all turned down as low as they can go.My results are the same fps what ever I change.I assume this must be one of the mods I installed causing the low frames?

My system specs are:

Quad 8400 cpu @ 3.2 ghz
ATI 6950 2gb
8gb Ram
Asus P5K Mobo

Any help, much appreciated

Good morning to all, Commenders. I am a newcomer here in subsim and I don't have experience in modding SH5...however I will read your advices, even if...starting from the beginning they are sooooo much...I bet it's a bit confusing, and the mistake is around the corner. Anyway, I will complete the tutorial following the exact orders of the game, patched to 1.2. After this I will install the latest JSGME, and I will insert into it the list of mods you advice (but what list?...what is the latest "cool" list?) then I will enable it while docked at Kiel. I have tried for myself, and installed and de-installed the mods and the game 3 or 4 times...I hope this is the right way. Anyway, whatever I will be able to mod the game correctly or not, thank you in advance for ALL your excellent works, contributions, and advices. Good hunting. Starfy71 - Davide - Italy

1) Mods must be activated "one at a time" or can be activated all together? 2) Is there a mod for players like me, which gives on the periscopes the right firing solutions (to make an example...in SH3 it shows "000" when you have the right lead angle to fire your torpedoes and hit the target) ?

This is because I have not the skills, at least for now, to calculate target type, mast height, distance, speed, and so on...I would prefer an automatic firing solution...it is less demanding and boring...

Thank you again to all.
