4 Bearings Method

[Johndb]

After an absence of approx 2 years I decided to install silent hunter 5 on my computer again.

First off I just want to thank all the people and Modders for all the excellent work and time spent getting SH5 to where it is now.

After spending many hours watching installation and various tutorials I have managed to successfully install the mega mod Wolves of steel with the latest patch 12 using real navigation.

Decided to brush up on manual TDC etc using the Historical Missions before attempting the Campaign. This went very well.

After watching the excellent 4 bearings videos by stoiman I loaded the 4 bearings mission.

I just can't seem to locate the ship using the hydrophone manually or with the Sonar mans help. In the video I should pick the ship up at around 258 degrees.

What am I doing Wrong? I have checked the Hydrophone on other Historical missions and it seems to work perfectly.

Any help will be appreciated.

Current Hour 0
Etc,Etc

Crew rating Veteran
Location 50 Degrees 12 minutes N 20 degrees 44 minutes W

Thanks once again for your kind response.

Thanks Sjizzle. I started the 4 bearing tutorial and then run the Mission and all worked fine.
When you run the tutorial it eventually TC the time to around 03:15.

How can I change the Mission settings so that I can Plot the Bearings all on my own without going through the whole tutorial again where it shows you how to use the mapping tools ?

Thanks again for all the help.

Thanks, But I tried mine and it always starts at 23.00 Naut. the only way to get my first contact is to advance time to 03.07 Naut before I can pick up the contact via the hydrophone. Even if I use the tutorial it always says advancing time to sync with Mission.

Where can I download the same mission used by stoiman in his videos. He started his 4 bearing mission at 30 degrees heading , 19 feet under the water and a totally different location and time.

Are you using the same wolves of steel Mega Mod or sobers ?

Thanks for all the help.

By the way, is there another way to donate to this site.
In the past I used to use my PayPal account but I would prefer to make a direct payment using my credit card.

Any help will be appreciated.
