when I want to use raobf, there is a problem of distance. my screen resolution is 1920 1080 16:9. I tried to patch after 16:9 wide optical, after wolves of steel but not better
an idea or I can not use the raobf with this configuration? :06:

I have the same problem. I have the same resolution too.
I have tried to use the RAOBF but it is a total mess and it doesn´t work.

As you can see in this picture:
http://i1266.photobucket.com/albums/...psaa9040f0.jpg

The ship was at 2050m but with RAOFB the measured was 1500. I followed the tutorials and i did everything ok.

Robberbond, what was the magnification setting for your scope in that screenie?

Looks like you were at 1.5x judging by the offset scale visible on the left. If so, you should be aligning the number 11 circled in your picture with the black mark at approx the 4 o'clock position, not with the mark at 12 o'clock..... You use that mark when the scope's magnification is set to 6x.

The strategic map button is all messed up, it shows up in the left corner of my screen , not like the pic bellow.

Is this supposed to be like this with this mod? If not, anyone got a fix?

Apparently the disabling of that map is intentional, but it can be turned back on. See this post here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...&postcount=604

Thank you for the fast reply! Can you guide a bit more? where do I find this? What folder and file? i'm back to SH5 after years... loving all the mods specially this one, but only 2 issues, this mini-map and the targeting recognizing button missing from the gunner's options.. again, thanks for your reply!

No, Auto. target recognition is disabled for realism purposes. I don't think it's realistic to identify the ship 20 km away just by clicking one button...Sinking enemy shipping is is already to easy...

I think I have an easier (although not perfect) solution. Try opening "Silent Hunter 5\data\Cfg\Commands.cfg", then search for "0x3F130002" in that file. Under that line, insert the following line:

Code:

 

 Key0=0x49,Cs,"Shift+I"

After that, pressing Shift-I should identify the target.

Thank you!

Edit - I got it : ) Thanks a lot mate.

Edit 2 - Nope... after saving game and returning it is all messed up again.. maybe I should clean install game and do it all over again..

Hi all.

I've got the following (minor) problem with this mod: the yellow icon which marks the objective won't be displayed. Alltough it is displayed by a red X-mark on the map when you select your mission, it does not appear on the map after starting patrol.

I've looked in the options editor but I couldn't find anything related to this. Any help will be much appreciated.

I do have lots of shipping posters in the optionbox (not sure what to call it, its activated with 'E')but all those ships on those posters look a lot like the many many different ships i know from SH4 Operation Monsun mod. I have not actually seen any of those ships ingame. Is this as designed? (trying to get used to manual targeting and double checking my calculations with contacts on map, its hard to get range, speed and AOB correct just from the scope)

When you press E, you get a window to the left, drag it onto your screen. It's a recognition-manual.

You can change this option in the optionsviewer. (data\Applications\OptionsFileEditorViewer\OptionsF ileEditorViewer.exe)
Look under tab Automatics. Turn automatically recharge batteries when surfacing to "true".

Had a similair occassion once, don't know more about it. Maybe someone else in this thread?

Yes I use RAOBF all the time and have no trouble getting accurate readings..... But I don't use this mega mod.

If your magnification was at 6x then do you know what scope mod is included in this mega mod? Does that mod have a patch to adjust to the screen resolution ratio you're running?

For example TDW's NewUI's mod ver 7.5.0 (the one I use) includes Mano's scope mod by default. However since I'm on a 16:9 monitor I need to seperately install mano's 16:9 patch. If such a patch is required and not installed you'll never get accurate readings.

Also where did you get the distance reading in the XO dialog box? If that came from the stadimeter, does this megamod include a fix for the bug in the stock game that causes the stadimeter to over-read?

Can't suggest anything else that might help, since as mentioned earlier I don't use this megamod myself. Hope you get it sorted.

I just wanted to express my thanks for this compilation. I always had trouble selecting the "right" mods and had trouble with their documentation and compatibility.

Thank you very much for this new motivation to play Silent Hunter 5.

dutchelitex
thanks, thats very helpful!!
but pressing E i get the mini menu on the right, but not the manual button on the left...

Hello guys I have some questions regarding this mod pack. I have some experience in the vanilla game, and I just started to experiment with different mods for my game. This is the first mod pack I have installed.

Now I wounder how the minimap system works in this mod. Before, you would just bring up the minimap, which dosen't exist anymore? And then line your shots up.

Honestly, I haven't even gotten out of port yet. I found some map settings and enabled most of them, but I can't create waypoints for my submarine on the map. ninja edit: I managed to find the options for the map, and I can finally move my submarine!

Maybe this mod is just way too hardcore for me, or am I just missing some really simple stuff? I'm sorry if these questions seem really stupid to you, but for me it's really hard to work around

Also, are there any beginners tips I should stick to when it comes down to this mod pack? Please don't hate on me, I'm quite new to this modding scene.

//Thanks in advance, Vexxey

this is getting pretty cool, got offered a VIIb now and things are great. it all looks just stunning
:salute:

however, running a little test dive and my KDB hydrophone is destroyed at 120 meters...
really? I mean, really? Am I the only Kaleun here scratching his head?
after searching around I believe its the reworked damage mod. but i dont see anyone else commenting about this and asking how to take away this particular little feature.

my questions: Why? Is that actually how it was, historically?? and regardless of either, is there a way to disable this feature? :hmmm:
