External under water view camera

[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

Thank you so much mate!!! Ubisoft did all sorts of online things to my game & I mistakenly thought I was patched to latest.

Now my UI interface works!

Kind regards,

Glad you got it sorted out

two bonus suggestions for making your SH5 experience more enjoyable, if you don't mind:

- never thrust Ubisoft 100%

- sometimes newcomers are a bit hasty about playing the game, getting "nonchalant" about reading readme's and instruction available on subsim forum. Had you read carefully the post #5 in this thread, it would have spared you from racking your brain until now!

Yup mate, you are right. Problem is, I'm not so young anymore and SHV makes for a very small portion of my life although I really love it. I came from the SHIII days, so I'm not totally new at it.

However, I cannot spend all my time reading through everything posted here, although I've read quite a lot already.

There was a time in my life that I just about lived for the various flight sim forums and I created many updates myself for it which are still available for download even to this day. You'll also find a lot of software contributions from me to the Yamaha keyboard community. However, that kind of lifestyle cost me my first wife & I'll never go that route again - just not worth it.

Just a kind pointer, my actual question was and still remain: Is there an next & previous object view camera as per SHIII & SHIV? I loved that feature. It's like watching a movie in the midst of all the action & I really miss it.

I'm not a hardcore subsim player who's all out for realism & being in the dark for most of the time. Yes, I like intelligent enemy & I always install those kinda mods. However, I've always played the game my way & I enjoy it thoroughly.

I'm so glad someone pointed out how to achieve automatic targeting & it really works fine. I missed that feature a lot in SHV

Tx for your help & kind advice mate,

You can bind keys in data/cfg/commands.cfg. Do a serch for next unit and previous unit.

If you install the mod 'NewUIs_TDC_7_1_0 by TheDarkWraith' you will have that option to go to next & previous object view camera.

I see your point about family/playing games, and how could I disagree with it?

As said by kiwi_2005, there's a function in NewUIs for moving the camera on units around our sub, but afaik no chase view, for following our sub in external camera... obviously I can be wrong on this last point, so keep checking this thread for any update by other subsim members.
