Thank you for your time.

Or in the bunker...You can copy/paste your Campaign.cfg file from your last gamesave so I could edit it and you wont have to wait next campaign for new changes to kick in...

My SH5 "eye" is obviously off from years of SH3.

I closed in, set the TDC, guessed a speed of 7 knots, and fired from what I figured was 1000 meters or closer. I can't be sure. I fired three fish, one at the bow, one center, one stern, and all three missed.

With the Wolves of Steel mod, if I'm in bunker and go into realism settings and turn on map contacts will I see map contacts that I see in the periscope, or does the mod override that?

I'm thinking of going back to map contacts until my eye gets trained at SH5 range and speed estimation.

Also, what is that formula for computing speed based on time crossing the reticule and the length of the ship?

There are "In Game" tutorial missions to get you up to speed on Target range, AOB and speed using the RAOBF for manual TDC torpedo attacks.

They are well worth becoming familiar with because the RAOBF is probably the quickest way to get the data for a reliable firing solution. The U-Jagd meter is also handy for target speed calculations :yep:

Here's how to access Trevally's Tutorials for TDW UI in game:

To use-

select "Tutorials" at main menu.
Click on the tutorial you want
Click on "Historical Mission"
If one is highlighted - click on it. If not, click on any
Click on "Start"

My understanding is that the RAOBF is not historically correct for WWII uboats?

I just install the "nVidia missing lights" mod after all the "TWoS" mods. This mod came about because all of the people involved in making "Steel Viking's Interior" mod used ATI Radeon video cards and were unaware of the lights problem with nVidia cards until after the mod was released. :D

Where do you get this mod?

Good mod :)

Hello,

Only give thanks for the work done with this megadom. I've been playing with four days and no problem so far.

I have seen that this leads megamod included "DynEnv v2.9 - 2. Main Mod Low Resolution Patch - Revised" not interested me since my computer can high resolucón textures so the only change I've made is to add the Mod Dyenv v2.9 to retrieve high-quality textures. I guess I have applied the changes correctly.

Good Job.

You don't have to do that plus, you'll lose some of the megamod's functionality by overwriting some tweaked files . There is almost no difference in game look with or without the low res revised patch...

1. 1. Open "GenericPatcher.cfg" file with notepad, found in this folder (Silent Hunter 5/TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_168_0)

2. If necessary, edit lines marked in red to match your SH5 installation path (eg. "D:\Games\Silent Hunter 5")...Save your changes.

Code:

ClientAreaWidth=1184

ClientAreaHeight=765

CameraManager.act=C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5

EnvSim.act=C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5

kernel.dll=C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5

sh5.exe=C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5

SHCollisions.act=C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5

SHSim.act=C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5

SHSound.act=C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5

SH_NClient.dll=C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5

SimData.dll=C:\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5

3. When done, start GenericPatcher.exe found in the same folder and select desired language.
Then, click "File" then "Open" and start hitting "Enter" key like crazy until you see this picture (20 times or so)...

4. Click "File" - "Backup" and backup all offered files ...

5. Now, click "File" - "Restore snapshot" and double click TWoS 2.0_Snapshot.gps file...

6. Done...

*Make sure that SH5 and Uplay are OFF while activating generic Patcher. In case of unsuccessful patching, restart your PC and repeat the whole procedure.
Make sure that the game is updated to official v1.2.0 (not v1.0.5). This step is crucial for SH5.

Steve

Here is a quote from a thread posted by joegrundman back in 2012 which may explain why the RAOBF is used in SH5.

Quote:

let's clarify that there are 3 rotating tools from the old u-jagd tools mod for sh3 that have been (improved) and ported over to sh5.

There is the RAOBF which goes around the periscope view, used for determining range, aob, or ships length and height if you start from the opposite side of the problem.

There is the attack disk (angriffscheibe) used to flip rapidly between determined aob and target course

There is the speed omnimeter slide rule which is used for many calculations, but primarily for calculating interception angles between sub and target, but also can be used for finding torpedo lead angles and many other things too.

The RAOBF is a copy of a ww1 tool that was fitted to the eyepiece of ww1 and early ww2 periscopes. Later in ww2, the German periscope changed to an advanced binocular design with a chair for the viewer to sit on. The binocular design did not have the ww1 era split-prism. That had to be abandoned to enable the binocular effect which was considered by all to be far advantageous to the split-prism.

But on a computer screen we cannot yet create true binocular vision, so it is advantageous to us to stick with the ww1 and early ww2 (and the us style) model of split prism with RAOBF.

The attack disk was a historical tool clearly of ww1 or earlier ancestry

the speed omnimeter is just a slide rule. the particular design is derived from the back side of the USN equivalent of the attack disk, the Is-Was, or Submarine Attack Course Finder. It is not derived from any known slide rule of the KM, but it is clear that the Germans knew all about slide rule technology since they were invented in the 1600s. The KM, like other navies' undoubtedly had a whole range of sliderules for solving all mathematical problems pertinent to being a submarine at sea.

Silent running in this mod.

Hit the silent running key (f7) in my game, nothing happens.

Ask XO to rig for silent running. Moron replies "cannot comply"

Click through CE menu for propulsion, click silent running. Seems to work, however there is no usual icon displaying our state, like (the two different?!) battlestations icon(s) do.

Also people are still addressing me in the non hushed voices.

Is this normal behavior?

The CE order bar is where I normally select silent running unless you are running speech recognition. Then you can just scream at your crew to "SHUT THE HELL UP!!" or whatever obscenity you care to script in to get the desired result. :D

When you order silent running from the CE orders menu, does a little ear icon appear for you? (like battlestations icon et. al.) No icon was showing for me doing it this way.

I think maybe the game was bugged, need to reload and try all this again.

And no, there really is two separate battlestations orders and icons; one in the WO's menu with it's own sound and icon, and the regular F7/Ask the XO directly which is a different icon.

The default keyboard key for Silent Running is "Z" where as in Stormy's DBSM mod the Z key gives you the current hydrophone contact's bearing.

Hi Vecko

I want to ask you about TWOS and TDW's Options File Editor Viewer (OFEV).

Regarding the changes that your Gps file makes to TDW's Generic File Patcher (GFP).

Are there any patches that need to be enabled in the OFEV to work with the GFP.

For example with Decks Awash enabled in the GFP you also need to enable the patch in the OFEV Patches Tab.
