New guy with some questions

[Captain_Leavitt]

Thanks for the info! As far as my audio and crew problems are concerned I've only been playing on the American campaign so all of these issues have to do with that as I haven't touched the u-boat add-on content yet. The das boot mod, is that for 4 only or 5 as well? Also what are DBSM mods? I've been watching some lets play videos and i see mighty fine crew and I believe it's called distant horizons or something along those lines where it increases the campaign to 1945. would these be recommended? Also should I consider any unofficial patches on top of the latest build? I know Ubisoft half assed sh4-5 to a extent.

Ok, so this is wierd. I have been subbed to this site for 2 days now. Yesterday I downloaded my first 5 files which is my daily limit. Today I log in and downloaded improved stock environment v3 by Caustic for sh4. Once i got that in I went to download more mods but I get a message saying I reached my daily download limit. The problem is I should still have 4 downloads left yet I;m being told I have non left. Why is this happening?

Ok so I'm looking to download open horizons for sh5. I have some questions and also need some clarification. First off when I download this mod do I need the base and then the patch or do I just download the 2.5 version? The type ix add-on, is that the actual boat or is it stats only? Also very important is what environment mods should I use if any with this that will make everything extremely realistic? This includes water, fog, smoke, fire, explosions, and weather. Also I'm having trouble finding the mod that makes fire actually damage ships. Any help with this stuff would be greatly appreciated. Almost forgot, would I be advised to download the latest version of generic patcher with this?


EDIT, With the decks awash command, is that native to stock sh5 or do I need to download a mod for that? If so where do I find it?

Another question although a bit off topic. I recently heard about the movie das boot. Shocking I know lol. I would love to watch this movie but I ran into a problem. I can't find it with English subtitles. I can find it with subtitles in every language except English. Does anybody know where I can stream this video so I can understand it or do I need to buy a physical copy of the movie?

If you want subtitles, just Google "Das Boot subtitles". You'll find what you need.

I installed on a bunker save, i think it was sometime after east british coast (in oh 2.5) , thinking back i assume it was after i got rebased and wasn't to see kiel again

I am about to add my flags back, i need a merchant or two to finish the eastern british coast, so i'm rebased when i get back, so flags-r-us again lol

I got all the way to south western (2nd after scapa flow i think) with my flags on previously, before dying and adding/messing with mods and starting another career

Hope that helps

I was going to ask you this a while back because I noticed you had the flags in your mod list. I had a pang of jealousy since I love those flags and can't use them without CTD. So are you saying it can actually work if you enable them after a couple of missions once you move away from Kiel?

If your refering to the sound mod, I did one for SH3 and one for SH4. Two separate versions have been done by others specifically for SH5

Also what are DBSM mods?

Das Boot Sound Mod.

I recently watched Das Boot on Netflick's Instant. Before you start movie scroll down to captions & subtitles and choose english, should be good to go from there. Its a great movie watched it myself again this past Sunday
