Hi TDW!

When I enable "no contact no hydro on surface" .sim File and my sub is surfaced (and my Sub has the first "default"-Hydro "Gruppenhorchgerät" installed), I still have hydrophone contact lines on NavMap!

Why?

Best regards,

Hallo Magic,

Du siehst diese Kontakte da die Gruppenhorch-Anlage unter dem Wasserlinie Eingebaut ist. Hier kannst Du mehr lesen; http://www.cdvandt.org/GHG-AN301-Beschreibung.pdf

Hier ist ein Bild der Anlage;

Has anyone produced a manual for this mod? There are so many handy features, I could do with sitting down and reading about them. I've loaded it & tried using it several times but have been unable to work out how to fire my torpedoes at a target. I use automatic (not manual) targeting.

Hallo Silent Steel!

Vielen Dank für Deine Antwort! Ich dachte, der MOD von TDW macht, dass dieses weg ist? Wofür ist der MOD "no contact no hydro on surface" denn sonst da?

Viele Grüße,
Magic

Hallo Magic,
Ich denke der Mod ist da nur um die Balkon und KDB Anlagen zu inaktivieren.
Das GHG bleibt ja unter der Wasserlinie aber ob es in Oberfläche Position funktionieren sollte kann Ich nicht sagen.
Sowieso, bei Mir funktioniert der Mod auf diese Weise.

Dear TheDarkWraith,

after a half year break I back on board and... met same issue:/
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...&postcount=418

So... If I`d like to learn again how to aim and shot the torps I should back to SH5 style, am I right in your .py file?

Best ragards,

Hi all

Tried to start game with your nice mod v680 several times but got always a crash to desktop. It always happens right after the SH5 loading screen has finished and the screen has switched to black color (already hearing kind of repeating sound).

Normally (without your mod) I can see the submarine base (game lobby) and can play without any issues.

Any ideas?

Running Win XP SP3, E8400, HD5850, 3 GB Ram

Maybe this will help:

Do you have any applications or services running that want exclusive use of the mouse? Look in your tray to see what icons you have there.

Also check your DirectX to make sure it's updated (go to Microsoft's website and run the web updater for DirectX)

3GB of RAM with that high end video card is not good. You might be running out of memory.

wow thats really fast! Thank you so much!!!!

Running Dx9.0c (newest version) but my mouse (and a special gaming pad named n52te) is using a specific software for dealing with scripts and commands. I will try to switch that off and use a standard mouse.

Will give u feedback a.s.a.p.

Again, thank you for the fast response!!!

Yes that button is a no-no. There are also some other buttons and sub-buttons that you should not press. I just looked through my documentation and it's not listed in it (I need to add it) but the buttons that cause problems are mentioned somewhere in this thread (somewhere towards the front). I'm looking for the post(s) currently...

Open the task manager (ctrl+alt+del) and click on the performance tab. Look at the available memory and memory used. Start game and watch those numbers dealing with memory. You are more than likely running out of memory (my UIs mod LOVES memory).

[Thenew1]

Actually I have 4GB installed but due to use of the 32 bit version of XP I am limited to 3,5GB or so. :-(((

Edit:
- I changed gfx settings to lowest (just to give it a try, maybe to save ram?) => still same problem with CTD
- I tried a fresh install of SH5 => still the same

Is it maybe a problem to use a different game path (e.g. D:\Games\SH5)?

Maybe I have to change my old XP 32bit to Win7 64bit?

I am really sad. Your mod is the most important mod for me.

No-no... Ok

Thanks for quick answer

Hi,

Suggestions to improve your system's performance;

As I run a Swedish version of Win7 I've below tried to translate the expressions to English but I hope you'll understand me despite this.

The quickest way to improve system usage is to;
- Clean your system, try to download CCleaner from the internet.
- Shut off as many other programs as possible when you play SH5 and\or
- Use your RAM as efficiently as possible i.e. adjust your virtual memory (page file) so go to;

A. Control panel\System\Advanced system settings\Advanced Tab\Performance\Advanced Tab\Virtual Memory, click 'Change'. Make a note of the settings here before you proceed.
Now we get to three most often debated setting options that you can choose from.

1. Set your own values. I'd think this is the option for you.
If you'd like to try this I suggest you first try to set
'Min' to 0.8 x 4 (your RAM 4 Mb) = 3.2 Mb and
'Max' to 1.5 x 4 = 6 Mb
The 'Max' value is most important as it decides the upper limit of how much virtual memory is allocated to your hard drive. The more RAM you've got the virtual memory can be decreased.
More RAM > Windows will need less virtual memory.
Try setting the 'Max' as low as possible.
You can even set both 'Min' and 'Max' to the same value thus forcing Windows to not jumping up and down when using the virtual memory.
When I had 4 Mb RAM I set this to 0.5 x RAM = 2 Mb and it worked fine for me.

Second option is;

2. Let Windows self decide the size of the virtual memory.
Most often Windows chooses to allocate more virtual memory than usually is necessary to your hard drive.
As the hard drive is much slower than the RAM this will most likely slow down your system.

The third option is;

3. To choose 'No Virtual Memory (page file)'
To choose 'No Virtual Memory\Page file' means your RAM will take care of 100 % of the memory usage.
The advantage is that your system uses the RAM only which is much faster than letting Windows use some of your hard drive which will slow down system performance.
The possible disadvantage in your case (4 Mb) is that it could lead to that you run out of memory and that warnings pop up telling you that your memory is low.
If this happens just go to 'A' above and enable the Virtual memory again.
'No Virtual Memory (Page File) is more demanding as it works best if you have a lot of RAM so I don't think this an option for you.

Regardless if you choose to try one of the options above or not you could clean up your virtual memory every time you shut your computer down.
You do it this way;
a) Make a search for 'regedit.exe'
b) Open it up
c) Go to;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Memory Management and open the string 'ClearPageFileAtShutdown'
Change the value to '1'.
Reboot.
When you now shut your system down your virtual memory/Page file will be cleaned and run faster next time you start your computer.

Hope something of this helps.
Regards
