SH4 crashed on my computer, so I bought it but was disappointed and never played it.

SH5, though, the germans again... I was hoping it was going to be an improvement upon 3 like 3 was on 2, but...

...there isn't even a manual! I accidentally hit the "rig for silent running" button, and now I can't unrig!

The "time compression" icons that are apparently supposed to be in the upper right of the window aren't there. I can't tell what time compression setting I'm on.

I paid $50 for a game and there isn't even a printed MANUAL?

Can anyone help me at least with the "rig for red" and TC issues?

That should help you get started

I also noticed that there is no TC panel in the upper right corner as the manual says, but something tells me that it's not there on this first training mission for whatever reason.
I did find though than I can TC by calling up the map, then using the keypad + & - keys. But still no TC panel to indicate anything of it. So I just used the clock by hitting "o" key, and then hitting the + key till I see the clock spinning at a rate suitable, and the map's sub icon traveling at a suitable rate.
the to come out of TC where I want just hit "\" to go to 1X TC and the clock dissapears at that point.

There seems to be several things not yet active on this training cruise, thougb I dont see why as this trip would have been perfect for trying everything out. And this ship on this trip isnt the same boat you be Captain of either. And since we arent Captain on this boat thats probably why some things arent availible to us as first officer.
