"Engine missing" problem

K-61 · 12-23-19, 11:44 AM

I have decided to do a fresh installation of SH3 and LSH-2015. If the problem occurs again, I will know there is a problem somewhere within the mod.

How about trying the tutorial without the mods enabled and see if you get the same response.
The tutorial is stock SH3
This tutorial I would think is setup for Auto TDC if you are setup for manual targeting in LSH3 I do not know if this would make a difference.

Search on the subsim website. Anvart explained what the problem with the file NSS-Uboat * * * sim.

Hi Peter,

I completely uninstalled everything, then reinstalled SH3 and LSH2015. I went into the h.site app and enabled only those settings that have LSH beside them. I was able to do all academy exams. I had only the main mod and widescreen GUI enabled via JSGME.

Next step is to enable more mod options and add some more h.sie options, such as realistic repair times. I'll report on how it goes.

The other thing I did was disable my antivirus and unplug my network cable so that I am not connected to the internet while my AV is down. I also had to tell my AV program not to flag various SH files as threats.

I'll do more experimenting and get back with reports.

Hi Randy
Some anti-virus programs like AVG treat all executives as threats including the SH5 TWoS mega mod and try to block them.
Changing the firewall to make an exception was the way round this.
I now use Bullguard Premium and it automatically takes care of everything for me.

I completed the first patrol in Erpro, went to the target zone off the island and returned without sinking anything, so as not to skew my log. Docked back at Stralsund and clicked on the phone. I did something wrong because I tried to go to 2nd Flotilla and got base changed to null. Could not get out of that window and had to task manager out to desktop.

I deleted that career to start all over again with a new captain and now I am only being offered a Type II in August 39. No matter how many times I reload via Commander it only offers a Type II.

I think I must be doing something wrong. I have consulted the Berbster tutorial for how to exit that first training mission. But I'll be damned if I go to war in a duck.

Hi Randy
In a situation like you had what you need to take a look at is go to the game save loading screen.
Check and see what game saves are showing.
The game save that starts the game is "In base before mission"

You say in your post that you docked your boat so that would be the save that you needed to delete and exit back to the desktop before starting SH3Commander again.

You say you can only see a IIA, did you you use the arrow to see if there was also a VIIB as in the picture here?

Hi Peter,

I have no save games at all; I completely deleted the Kaleun's career and am trying to start a new career via Commander in August 1939. I do try the drop down list and all I see is the Type II. If I advance the starting month eventually other boats show up; I am hoping to try a VIIB for pre-war cruise to be at sea for September 1939.
