I played the vanilla version of silent hunter 5 and get trouble with mission bar.
I asked, what I can do and some of you entrust me to download the Wolves of Steel megamod.
Ok, I did it. And now I get in trouble with that ultra realistic handling for anything I will do.

But I am not an ultra realistic player who can draw lines for an exact or nearby exact curse, or calculating the curse for my own without any help.
In the vanilla game I click on my boat, set the course and go on.
If there was enemy ships I went closer, take that vanilla automatic targeting (with the numbers in circles - 3on3, 2on2, 1on1) and fired the torpedos, when the number of my torpedo is exactly on the number of the enemy ship.

Now, if you think that silent hunter is not a game for me, you're right. But it is fascinating for me to dive and shot boats.
Maybe that I learn the realistic navigation and shooting later.
So, I just wanted to ask, if there is an option to play Silent Hunter 5 with the unrealistic handling like the vanilla version without that mission bar bug?

I have windows 8.1, so the MaMas-Fix wont help.
For the simpliest modding I need step-by-step guides.
It will be OK, if you have mods, where I can activate or deactivate the realistic handling.

Thanks for all, who could help me get a little fun on playing (unrealistic) SH5.

yes u can .... disable real navigation then from game menu uncheck manual targeting, CO2, fuel, realistic torpedo loading time, dude torpedo, after u do this step u need to go to the option file viewer from TWoS and and also from them disable all realistic options....there is a bit of work how to do it ....
option file viewer is located in \SH5\MODS\The Wolves of Steel 1.04\data\Applications\OptionsFileEditorViewer
double click on the exe file and will ask for the language choose your language...after this click on the file menu and select from them path to SH5 menu text the menu text path is SH5\MODS\The Wolves of Steel 1.04\data\Menu after u did this step click again on the file menu and select path to SH5.exe the path for sh5.exe is where u have installed SH5.
after u selected the path to sh5.exe open click again on the file menu and select open now select TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py from SH5\data\Scripts\Menu.
and from there u can enable or disable what do u want but read all carefully what each option does to not mess is better to make a back up to TheDarkWraithUserOptions.py
now i am not home to put screen shot i am at work but soon as i go home i will show u with screen shot too.


EDIT:

or disable TWOS and u can make a small mod list like
