"Engine missing" problem - Page 2

Hello Peter,

Merry Christmas to you, too, and of course to all here!

Had a very successful first career patrol. 23 days at sea and netted 7 ships for 56,923 tons. I nailed two singles for about 5100 tons around Rockall Bank, then received a report of a slow outbound convoy SW of my position. It took only a few hours of game time to intercept and I called in the sighting. BdU told me to go for it.

On the first attack [early evening] I hit two T3e tankers; damaged one and sank the other and also nailed a navy tanker. After evading and reloading I overtook again and sank the damaged tanker and sank another navy tanker.

By this time I had only one external torpedo under the stern deck plates. I hauled off submerged and just before sunrise I detected via hydrophones another vessel approaching my position, crossing my course from east to west. Now out of visual range of the convoy escorts I surfaced about 7 kms from the vessel, about 3000 tons. It is the first month of the war so the merchantman was unarmed. I took her down with the deckgun, being out of torpedoes. I then hightailed off to the northeast at fast speed for a few hours then slowed down. Visibility dropped so I took the chance to bring in the spare eel. Rounding the UK I hit a storm and had an uneventful trip home. I did have a close contact, a loner, in the North Sea but with winds of 15m/s I did not press an attack.

I must say that I do like the enhanced damage effects in LSH, the "volumetric" smoke and such and the new fire effects, and my new rig took no hit to process it. I had a variety of sinking styles so I was also pleased with that.

Only one thing I wish I could recall: How to manually set the RPMs on the electric engines. I used to do that, I think it was in GWX. You drag the dial needle manually and set the e-machinen to 50 RPM, very quiet. For hunting wabbits. Anyone recall how to do that and can it be done in LSH2015? I did try the free roam view but was unable to manipulate the e-machine telegraph.

My Kaleun, Albert Keller, is in base on Christmas Eve before his second war patrol. A nice timely coincidence. After posting this I shall go spend some time with my wife and watch some Christmas Eve shows. Our favourite is the 1950's version of Christmas Carol with Alastair Sims. I have a colourized version on DVD somewhere but I shall instead watch it on Netflix.

Good evening, all!

A very Merry Christmas to you and the family my friend.

A very successful first mission by the sounds of it.

You might like to take a look at the hsie PDF manual and see if you want to ramp your game up a bit.
SH3Commander also has a number of its own game play settings and also its own PDF manual.
When you add in as well the SH3 game play settings these 3 optional additions makes LSH3-2015 become very much more playable and exciting.

Hello Peter,

I've gone into HSIE and enabled all options except the ones for NYGM and GWX; I am not sure if those are only to be clicked on if using those mods. So, for fear of breaking my game I have not enabled them. [Edit: I have just consulted the manual and it says they are only for use if using one of those mods.]

I forgot to mention one interesting bit about my patrol in my earlier post. With a stern shot I fired at a ship in the outer column of the convoy. The torpedo tracked under a field of debris from the earlier sinking, in the midst of which were several rafts and lifeboats. Just as the torpedo was travelling under the survivors it prematurely detonated and the unfortunate men were flung out of the water. I'm sure if this had been real life they would not have survived the blast due to shock wave trauma. This was the first time I ever witnessed such a thing in the game. After all of these years the game still manages to surprise.

Another question I have concerns using the recognition manual. Is there a way, a shortcut I seem to remember, of having the manual open automatically to the ship you have locked in your scope or UZO view? And does this work with auto-target, manual or both?

[Edit: I have been going through the manual for HSIE. I now realize that the options I chose to enable beyond the defaults were not, in fact enabled. I used my diesels at setting 5 for extended periods and did not get the warning from the chief about possible damage. Other options that were not enabled also effected my patrol. Therefore, I shall delete this current career and begin again. I don't mind overmuch; it is all part of the learning curve.]

If you are using the oxygen patch you will need to change one of the dials.
HSIE O2-Gauges v2 > LSH3 Compatible > Enable JSGME.
This is how I have set my Hsie.

I have reduced the amount of oxygen available
You will not be able to run at "FLank speed" for very long when the "Diesel Damage Fix" is enabled as you will nedd to stop and make a repair.
The Hsie manual explains all this and with diagrams as well.

I have not forgotten this, but I do not have an immediate answer just yet.

Hello again Peter,

I am pleased to report that all is running well. I did install the oxygen mod as instructed to work with hsie. On my Erpro run I ran at full speed until the diesels were damaged, then repaired them and finished the patrol. In patrol I did a long submerged run and the oxygen dial ran down and I got the O2 percentage reports.

I have just left port in my VIIB and saved and exited in the North Sea, as family are now arriving for the day.

All the best and thanks for your help.
