Nice pics, Veko, I think the ship is there because of your popularity: people hire a passenger ship and go on sightseeing, they want to watch you at work

Press "space" few times on target. Your XO will tell you when auto TDC is active...

To all: I've just figured out that there is indeed some little difference in how auto TDC works with map contacts enabled and disabled (no idea why is this so) but again, the basic procedure is almost the same. Press "space" few times on target until you get the announcement that auto TDC is active, point the scope and shoot...I really can not understand why this still posses such a problem for some payers... No idea how can I make it much simpler than that. I can not rewrite auto TDC routine in SH5, it's how it is...

I think your new dialogue in the XO improves a lot the understanding about Auto-TDC, but many players who are used to play SH3/SH4 think Auto-TDC will work after a single lock to the target and then firing, which will miss most of the time. But i agree: you can hardly do more than that, for me your XO dialogue is crystal clear...


Question: is it possible to somehow revert the TDW NewUis 7_x_x part of the mod to play again with the 3-circles method of the stockgame for Auto TDC? I ask this also because I want to re-introduce it optionally in my other modlist. If i would take away the NewUIs I could then play with 3-circle method, but obviously I don't want to miss all the UI features. Thanks!

That can be done in OFEV IIRC...

Thanks for your fast response, I appreciate! I will take a look. Of course, I do not suggest you point to that for TWoS, this would be terrible...

EDIT:

Enigma addon enabled or not?

I've checked the file and this is the message...

All U-boats involved in operation Western Approaches have been assigned to 7th flotilla based in St Nazaire, France. BdU

Not sure what is going on...
Yes, Enigma enabled, but I must have misremembered, I just checked and it seems to say 7th flotilla everywhere.
Maybe I got confused because I read here that I´m in the 6th flotilla now:

Is it possible to install star shell launchers on some ships in convoys, or the destroyers?
It should be according to "I want the starshell gun on a ship!.txt" in C:\Games\Silent Hunter 5\The Wolves of Steel - Documentation\Other Readme Files and Docs\FX_Update_0_0_22_ByTheDarkWraith

Currently 13 ship types are equipped with star shell launchers and ship horns as well, so there is a good chance that in every convoy will be at least few ships with these capabilities. I could add more but only for imported dat ships because we are still missing proper tool for gr2 editing...However , it would be somewhat strange if too many SS are fired once you are spotted IMO.

I thought it might be appropriate for the destroyers to send up starshells when they detect a torpedo attack

That's not possible due to several reasons. First, almost all destroyers are gr2 format which is very difficult to edit. Still this can be (maybe) bypassed with few tricks in TDW's gr2 editor. Second, SS guns are just that - guns, and they are used only when your sub is visually spotted. Same goes for ship horns and my solution for harbor air raid sirens...

I did some further testing and it seems that many of mentioned 13 ship types are actually missing bones for SS guns and ship horns even though they have been properly set in corresponding eqp files.
I will fix this in the next update which is almost ready. I'm going to rename unused hydrophone and sonar bones for merchants (they don't need them) and use them as new bones for SS and horns dummy guns... I'll also add missing reflector bones for some merchants ect...
Still fixing modder's oversights even after all these years...
