I agree, SOFBear, despite the fact that I'm still getting used to movement being tied to the arrow keys (which I don't necessarily agree with, since I keep my right hand on my mouse and my left hand near the left side of the keyboard, and have to move it every time I want to walk around), it's really turned SH5 upside-down for me. It feels so much more like Silent Hunter III now that all the basic orders are back, and it makes it actually possible to play with map contacts turned off (because you can ask your officers to track targets for you and then jot them down on the map using your marker).

If SH5's players can be seen as sub skippers, then the modders are the trusty mechanics, engineers and scientists keeping the u-boat weapon running and constantly improving upon the technology available for the war effort. The game's barely been released, and you've already done the equivalent of at least one big official patch! Like the others singing praises, I just can't thank you enough

1 week after release and the TDC is back

I want to thank the modders for doing so much in such a short time.
I want to thank the devs for giving the modders the modders the tools and options

Replaced "torpedo spread angle" mod with "TDC mod" since the new mod has all of the dials, not just the torpedo spread angle.

New to modding ,, was actually new to silent hunter just some months ago ,, but i know a good thing ... anyways ,, I just want to say that the community here is impressive ,The modders are amazing ,, the mods are amazing .. Ive found Ailclouds and smoke and such ,, dont think that guy has a bad mod ,, I installed most of them ,, they are much better than stock .. The smoke mod makes the fire look .. just so much better ,, the clouds .. actually begin to sort of (feel ) like clouds ,, where i thought they looked good before ,Now they are quite impressive ,, this has to do with me playing the original first of course and any improvement from there being appreciated .. because i have a baseline ..In any case ,, it is an improvement .. the white interior is a nice improvement .. dark wraiths ui mod is just awesome but i drop directly to desktop when i hit one of the buttons so i dont use it anymore ..mightyfine crew is just the freaking bomb .. Love that mod ,, and i also use the accurate ammo ,and the realistic floatation mod . Loaded the fistful mod but it doesnt work or i have got something wrong ,, why they would only include those ten silly captains emblems is beyond me , glad to at least have a mod that will get me my red devil ,even if i cannot get it to work ,, somehow it is still comforting to know there is a fix ,, and i can come here and get it .. whole new world here ,, just wanna say hello and thanks guys .

Welcome aboard Scissors!! Glad to hear you're enjoying yourself.

I'd urge you to to a fresh install of DarkWraith's UI mod. It's up to 1.8 now and includes a TON of new features. The instructions are posted in the download thread, so hopefully this install will go smoother.

Eventually perhaps? You'd need to ask OLC that. The last posts he had here indicated he wasn't going to buy the game due to DRM, so don't count on it till DRM is finally gone.

Hi!

I have tried to contact Drifter via PM, but he is not receiving any messages. I have removed the reference to the file's location until he makes it available again.
