Hi captains!

I don't know whether it is a bug or glitch, but noticed there's no bow wake of Z Ship in TWOS. Any suggestions how to add it?
p.s. ship's name in SilentHunter5/data/sea: NLGH

Thanks

There is no required order for optional mods. Note that the answer you've quoted is incorrect. Check out install instructions pdf...

Light ship is always static in the campaign so she doesn't really need any kind of bow wake IMO...

Ahoy kapitans I'm not sure if this is a bug or something but since I woke up and played this morning, pressing the E button only showed the recognition manual. It doesn't show the other box where I can select charts. Though im pretty sure i know where I put it last night. And i never changed anything. Any ideas?

My nautical grid chart disappeared

. I have been using it a lot during my current patrol and finally caught a small convoy with it, but now its no longer there when I click the option. Any idea how to bring the nautical box back?

edit: Every other window comes up when prompted, and i searched around my screen and do not see the nautical chart hiding anywhere.

Delete all _Draggables.TDW files from your main game folder and default positions of various GUI elements will be restored...

Yes or in other words, I do not have any issue with SH5 with TWoS on Win10 20H2 Build 19042.661.

Would it be possible to include the MD5 / SHA256 in the description of the download? Not foolproof, but decent protection to check you've got a legit file. Thanks!

Ran into a weird crash.

Sunk a steam troopship.

The first CTD was when it was blowing up and seemed to be going down..

2nd CTD was when i checked the hydros to verify its sinking.

3rd is when i click the captains log to verify if it registered (each time my WEPS office did not say it was sinking)

Saved a bit later after hitting the troopship and didnt touch anything but my map hotkey and my dive icons. No CTD. But no registering the ship was hit. Clicked the captains log and CTD again.

Basically seems like it gets overwhelmed when trying to register it sunk a troopship in my patrol zone as the objective?

Any way around it? I sunk a troopship earlier in this save too so its a great start for me, really dont want to lose it.

::edit::

Looks like i lost that campaign unless i start over again. I saved when in contact with a ship so I am sure that was the problem.

::double edit::

I was a French ship apparently, Friendly. Ack!

I'm afraid that if you don't have gamesave prior your friendly sinking your campaign is now effectively over...

Be more careful next time.
