Default How do I get aboard the uboat in a pen?

I did play SH3 a lot some years ago, but since then I have done other things. Now I have returned when I did see that SH5 was out. I did buy it and have just started. But the hard advices in the manual are very few. You have to guess a lot and relay on your memories from SH3 and SH4. And now I have run into a hard obstacle.

I have started my first campaign by finishing the first Poland mission and returning to Kiel. There my captain has been promoted to a bigger uboat, and I have received command of U-27 and orders for my first own mission. In the pen I have met the equipment man and choosen the torpedo load and a personal marking on my uboat.

But now I am walking around in the pen and have not found out to get on board on my uboat, which lies in the pen. How do I do to get aboard?

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...&postcount=272 The guy next to him supplies you with torps and upgrades , click on him and make sure you have a full torp loadout . While in the pen go into options by hitting the ESC key and set your realism settings .

Thank you, now I have solved my problem. I had to accept my mission, and after closing the briefing I was aboard my uboat.

This game is difficult to control, because the manual does not say anything useful. The only useful part is the keyboard layout pictures. Otherwise it is similar to an old Kings Quest game, you have to click on everything to try to figure out how it works. All the old SH-games were much easier to learn how to control.

yes the provided documentation is crap, total crap. But the 'in-game' documentation is just getting started thanks to my tutorial addition to my UIs mod. I have provided people a means and way to do in-game documentation and tutorials. Trevally should be releasing some of these tutorials here shortly I image

You must follow the tutorial and do everything it tells you too in the first mission . Disable all mods in the first mission and then enable them after you reach kiel .

Try with another campaign: Start a new career and on the campaign screen just type silentotto and all campaigns should be available now. Start any campaign and see if you can accept missions. If is still not, then make sure your game version is legit.

Ahem - I see no mention for advice asked, or directed using your nomenclature, I must observe the member in this case (froschman) was merely asking a question, which can be presumed for all members. Furthermore, You put question mark at the end of comment (see Above) why then did you not wait for an appropriate duration? thus allowing for response/ reply, to said advice offering!!
