Open horizons question

[WilhelmSchulz.]

Dose the open horoziens mod include the tech from 43-45 or are you stuck with 1943 tech?

Is anyone able to answer this question?

I don't think Open Horizons modifies equipment files and I don't know what the un-modded game does for equipment dates.
I use the mod Equipment_Upgrades_Fix_v1_4_byTheBeast and I'm just completing the Open Horizon campaign "Monsun Gruppe" 01/03/43 - 15/06/44; so far it's following the upgrade chart below (at least "mostly", as there is still some equipment that appears before the correct date, like the decoys and some of the radar/sonar absorbing coating skins.)

If you are interested in Equipment_Upgrades_Fix I grabbed the links from sober's mega mod thread (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=192374), these are all the EUF files that should be installed (in this order) before Open Horizons:

Hope that helps! (Oh, and of course only the type VII boots are available in SH5)

Hello Guys,

i have a question about OHII v2.5...
I Have just finished the vanilla game...yeah really! Mare Nostrum sucks, but with "silentotto" i was able to do the other campaigns successfully.

Now i have installed (with JSGME) the OHII v2.5 mod to play it again, because i think SH5 is a good game (yeah, i know...thats open to debate...). I like the Option to move in the hole boat! however...

I have a little problem with the very first campaign, i have done the first mission to intercept and destroy the polish task force and my homebase is now Kiel.
Now i am in the Bunker an equipped my boat with Torpedoes and a new Conning Tower maling...but i can´t select a new mission.
The only mission displayed is the one i´ve already finished. from the vanilla game i knew that there are to options, the "western aproaches" SE of England and the "coastal waters" in the east...but i´m not able to select one of these!?

Is anybody there who had the same problem or can tell me what to do?
I already restartet the game but the "problem" is the same...

Hi Joe

On the whole the missions/objectives within OHII will become available when some conditions are met - i.e. pass or fail the last mission/objective.

On occasion however - there are date restrictions in place. Thus missions are only ready after a date.
You can check this by looking at post 2 in the main OHII thread.

If this is the case - you can either patrol/dock until date is passed and mission is read or just go out on patrol anywhere and you will get a radio message when the next mission is ready.

Hey Smokey Joe, as Trevally. says there are some campaigns that begin at certain dates.
Here's the link to the Open Horizon's Campaign List : http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...97&postcount=2

Your next campaign kicks in 04/09/39 so just head for the East Coast of Britain and it should be active before you get there:

Eastern British Coastal Waters
04/09/39 - 01/12/39
