Is on hold at the mo
The earlier resupply ships appear no problem and have been easy to check
After finally making it ingame to mid 1942 the markers for the milkcows are not appearing on the map
Been battling with the problem for a few days now
What makes it worse is having to start a new career each change and TC from 39 to 42 just to check
PITA
Wasnt going to release till after the patch anyway as files will change so the delay worked out good for me
IF I can pin down why they arent showing on the map by then

What all did you change to create the fix?

Sorry to hear that..
I can hardly wait to release!
Good Luck!

Is not a fix
But a different way of doing it

In the Drumbeat and Distant Waters are 2 huge resupply areas on map
As long as you are in those you will be able to resupply
But they remain static in the same position throughout the mssions

I just used the old way of having the milkcows appear in supply zones as were
Plus sailings to and from port

Have overcome one hurdle
Just waiting for the first milkcow marker to appear
So fingers crossed

The AI_Type 14 is nearly done.
In testing?
It will now dive when it has to.

You don`t have to

Do this

...\Silent Hunter 5\data\Cfg\

UPC.cfg

edit
MinimumDaysInBaseGE=14 -> lets say 700

Start a new career, dock once and start next mission, it will throw you 700 days forward but no idea what port it will be

I tried this just to skip all Total Germany campaign to Happy times campaing and used 291 days (w/o tutorial mission)

Good luck.

Anyone know if supply will get fixed by devs, not seen in mentioned, just wondered.

Glad worked for you
If I do that when I start second patrol the game ends with a nice X through the mission I was in and have to restart a career - used 290 days

I thought it will help but using 291 days will throw you at least on 20th of june 1940 (I could start Happy Times w/o any problems, I`ve played first mission and now I`m at Lorient 20th july 1940) and then you can fast forward to 1942.

Thanx for the thought but had already tried it - anything to cut down to waiting lol
I could start happy times but mission ended straight away and wouldnt let me go any further
Most odd if you managed it

My patrol log looks like this (I`m on boat, first mission from Wilhelmshaven in Happy Times):

Maybe because I didn`t choose any specific mission before my first patrol from Kiel?
No idea though why it doesn`t work for you
