With the random groups ,if is tactical set to false the ship seems to be appearing either side of the waypoint lines in a rndom radous outside the waypoint lines and some on the waypoint lines . Is tactical set to true the ship follows the waypoint lines . http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/7328/shipsinking.jpg

Ah -Is it you that is writting them Sartoris?
They are very good - looking forward to the next one:yeah:

Thanks Sober - I had not notice that gray area causing issues before:DL

Trevally,
I must still have some kind of glitch. I selected the northern approaches mission - went out and sank 52,000 Tons - and now the mission is still not completed. From what the mission description says - the goal was 50,000 tons - or am I missing something?

hello travelly
with joy here is the link:http://www.mille-sabords.com/forum/index.php?act=idx

See you soon :salute:

looks good, i'll give sh5 a new try

Very good job

thank's :D

:salute::salute::salute:Welcome aboard!!!:salute::salute::salute:

Hi Akula - I will check this out:up:

Can you check your progress bar for that objective - how full is it?

Thanks bigbeuzz:DL I have added link to post one

Thanks nemeziss and welcome to subsim:salute:

Hi Trevally!
I have some notes after returning from 1st patrol (Coastal Waters campaign) just for the information:

1. I've met two ships with frozen flags (near british coast, but of the other nations), also one "blackship" - german transport at the mouth of Kiel Channel

2. In the middle of the Kiel-channel I've met Polish freighter (8th September 1939, that mins the 'enemy' ship), successfully passing threw it from Kiel:DL.

3. Near british coast I recieved the information from Bdu about the convoy steaming in 74 km from me. I put the supermark on the reported cordinates of convoy, saved the game and quit to Win. After loading the game next day in order to deal with that convoy I couldn't find it despite a dozen of attempts for interception done in accordance with Stoianm's tutorial:hmmm: There were no any messages re. that convoy in my box, so it has gone somewhere:shifty:

4. During the night time I sank by mistake the neutral freighter? and it was accounted to my mission tonnage. That means we can sent to bottom neutrals (which are not reacting by changing course when the U-boot sighted) and to recieve needed 70000 tons in a couple of days:hmmm::salute:

Hi Vlad:salute:

The frozen flags have been an ongoing problem.
I do think that both Rongel and Uekel have now, very nearly fixed it.

I have noticed that if I adjust my mod list and uninstall and reinstall OHII - I sometimes get frozen flags. This then fixes itself after returning to port or restaring the game.

Did you notice with the black ship - if it filled in when you moved the camera closer?

Ah yes - when Zedi and I modded the convoy/traffic layers - most of the stock paths were left in place. I think this is one of those.
I will have a look and see how big a job it is to stop that.

Its always good for a bit of gun practise:D

:hmmm: when you save a game it does save every unit and its possition

hmm yes - but now you are a pirate:arrgh!:

Thank you, sir. The progress bar for the mission shows nothing - no partial fill at all. Very strange indeed... and now I am being directed to return to the exact same spot (west coast of Scotland - due north of Ireland).

The map shows I have been assigned the mission - but the kills do not count.

I was playing the northern approaches and sank 2 ships . They didnt count . I carnt remember what ships as i started my canpaign again . I know its not much help :oops:

Any help is good help, sober!
I just cannot believe none of them counted...

Not being credited for tonnage sun,k sounds like it may be a Game Load issue.
Are you running in Windowed or Full Screen Mode?:06:

Here is something I do when starting SH5 and Loading Saved Progress that seems to help for me.

If you are running in a Window, try the following when you are starting the Game.

1. Watch the Task Bar for SilentHunter5. Does this App loose focus and become a background process?:06: (Screen Flashes when this happens)
If so, CLICK the SilentHunter5 App on the Task Bar ASAP to put focus back to that Process.
This may happen up to 3 times before getting to the Main Menu.

2. When loading a saved game at from the Main Menu repeat steps descibed above to ensure the SilentHunter5 Application does not change to Background Opperation.
(When loading a Saved Game the SilentHunter5 App may lose fucus up to 3 times)

3. The first things I check after game is loaded.
- When Ordered, Does Navigator Report Depth Under Keel?
- Does Navigator Report Course Changes?
- Does Chief Engineer Report Depths every 10 meters when Diving.
If any of these fail to function, it is a good indicator of load problems.

CAUSE:
A Process or Apllication running in Background may have lower Priority then Forground Operations resulting in some Game Load processes "timing out" or failing to load.
Add a fragmented drive into that equasion and the chance of timing out is even greater.

If you are running Full Screen and if the Screen Flashes, CLICK on Screen.

Give it a try next time you start the game and see if the game is running better.

Regards!
TheBeast

Thankyou for your help , much appreciated as always . cheers sober out.

Ahoy Akula,

Just a few suggestions for your mods list;



:up:

SH5 is running full screen - and I turn off all non-essential apps including AV, background, and network tools before starting SHV. Besides I am being credited for the tonnage - but the assigned mission requirements are not being completed/satisfied. Thanks Beast.

SS - Your recommended changes appear to be "personal preference" and not related to the mission completion issue. Please tell me if this assumption is wrong... I removed the submarine SIM files from RE v3 when we resolved the bouncing issue - and the identified sound files are my personal preference. Thanks sir.

The red marked areas show the kill area and the ship types that count.

Hope this helps:up:

Nice sig btw :)

Your assumption is completely correct. :up:
