External under water view camera

I find it odd that SH5 would not have that, as it was a regular feature of SH2, SH3 and SH4, accessed via the comma (,) and period (.) keys.

I'm pretty sure this is exectly what Hennivr is enquiring about.

Unlike previous titles that feature is not included in stock SH5 unfortunatly; Not sure regarding mods though.

I miss it.

If you are using TDW's NewUIs MOD the default mode for the TAI map is open in the lower left corner of your GUI. By repeatedly using your TAB key, at least if your using Church's Keyboard MOD, you can cycle your TAI map from small in the lower left corner to full screen to gone and back. I'm not sure if this trick will work without Church's Keyboard MOD but try it and see.

Additionally, there are other options for hot keys and various things that affect the TAI map to be found on the TAI MAP tab of TDW's Options Editor application.

Let us know if this helps. If not someone will find a solution for you!

Hi,

No, afraid nothing helps. I see on the Ui-Boat V5.0 thread others are experiencing same.The suggested solution does not work for me either.

Strange that SHV does not have the next object external view feature. I used it a lot!!! I'm not a hard core SHV simmer, but I've always loved the series & I enjoy it immensely playing it my way & I use external camera a lot! What's the use of all the sea floor & under water visibility mods if I can't see it? Hope to find a solution soon.

Question: If I try to repair my SHV from my CD, will it patch back to latest version when I go online again? Or should I rather uninstall & re-install again?

Regards,
HennivR

Hi all,

Update: I uninstalled SHV & re-installed patched to 1.05. My UI mod problem still persists. I cannot close i.e. the blank TAI window at all.

Please, any help would be appreciated.

1. The latest patch is not 1.05. If game version (visible from the main menu, top right corner) reads anything but v 1.2.0, install the proper patch manually. If you own EU version of the game, you can get it from here.

2. What is your mod loadout? (list mods you have enabled via JSGME, in their actual order).

3. Does your problem persist if you disable all the mods?

P.S: seems that someone else is having the same issue as you. Look here:

Tx,

I was not patched to latest. Thought Ubisoft would do that automatically if I go online. Suspect this is my problem.

Thank you for pointing out. Downloading right now. I'll report back soon.

Kind regards,
HennivR
