Thanks to vdr1981 for this mod. No ctds for me so far.
No matter how exiting SH5 was before, or how user friendly people thought the game was without real nav.....SH5 was a real disappointment because of the ctds. Remember how it was, you've achieved your objectives, you are still celebrating the raid on Skapa Flow or the sinking of the Queen Mary, you have had the time of your life escaping the depth charges and boooooom......... the game crashes to desktop and your game is not saved. And then all the detective work: 'does this mod conflict with the other 85?' 'Remove them one by one and test' 'And test again and another ctd'. So thanks again vdr1981 for a stable megamod. Mission accomplished. But remember also, that all the great megamods in SH3 and SH4 had other compatible mods added later by other modders. People are going to mix and match anyway, no matter how big or good the megamod is. I think it is a great idea that instructions are given about how to remove the blurred water effect for example. A patch is not always necessary if people know how to do it themselves on their own responsibility. It also gives the modders time to get on with other things. Real nav: I never tried it until now. It's not as hard as people might think. Of course it takes time and some people may prefer to 'teleport' to the hunting grounds and see some action as fast as possible. Fair enough. But if you want to play this game as a simulation game, then real nav is the one to chose. Just as a matter of curiosity, vdr1981, why have you chosen the original SH5 characters with the eye patch and glasses? Stability? Anyhow, I had sort of put SH5 on the shelf because of the ctd problems. But thanks to the work of the modding community, it is back in use again.:up: |

Step 2: open data\Menu\menu.txt in notepad, and remove semicolons ( ; ) from the following lines: Code:

Step 6: if you want to customize the style of contacts and lines displayed on map, enable any of the TDW Add-on mods on top of The Wolves of Steel. Step 7: launch the game, load your campaign, open the options menu (only available while in bunker IIRC) and make sure that map contacts are switched on. That's all guys. :up: I hope I didn't forget anything. You should still be able to ask your navigator for dead reckoning/celestial fixes, but this feature would be pretty useless, indeed. One last world, if you care: now that you know how to switch back to the much more comforting "GPS navigation" of stock game, may I ask you to refrain from following my instructions right away, and to give real navigation a try for good? Shouldn't work for you, you are always in time for getting back to this post :03: :salute: Quote:
If even a samurai going by the name of limkol, from the bilge, was able to use real navigation with the only aid of a bottle opener (if ever he found it), why you skilled captains should not be able to as well? :D |

tools' alignment getting altered by high compression rate? I don't think so, and enabling EQuaTool on top of 'The Wolves of Steel' + patch won't solve the issue either since, if memory serves me well, the problem is exactly in some wrong setting from one of its versions. May I ask you to enable this mod instead? You can use it in combination with EquaTools if you want (see mod instructions for further detail), in wich case it should fix EquaTools's misaligned tools :yep: |
Cheers Gap:O:

Where's your opener? I can only see an half-epmpty bottle, but at least you are not longer a banzai Japanese sailor ;) |
The bottle's half full.....not half empty! According to equipment upgrades, I don't get the bottle opener until 1946

You should have reported the issue in EUF's thread then. Or maybe it is a feature? :hmmm: Quote:

Thanks for this Mod, good job:salute:

No idea what to do I click on sub in map but i cant plot its course, i just have a compass and some other navigation tools but they just draw lines on map, how do i move my sub, each time I exit the harbor I crash on the bank across, do I steer my sub manually? don't I have a navigator and pilot for this?
|
Muerevich, you can use the pilot to get you out of the harbour using automation. You can also use the automation function to get your navigator to place your position on the map automatically. You set the compass to the direction you need to sail and get the navigator to fix your position as often as you want by clicking on the nav officer icon.
A guy called Stoiamn has made some YouTube videos to explain real navigation in greater detail and shows what map tools to use etc. Don't give up, it gets easier.. Be aware: if you click on the compass to change course while you are using time compression, the boat does not always change course. I only change course with time compression on 1. |

Using "Real Navigation" with "Trevally Auto Scripts" In the bunker run scripts Kiel Outbound and Real Nav Auto Position. http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/6306/33989365.png When Harbour pilot is finished you should be here http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/8983/60392343.png Use the Nav Officer to get a fix http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/6549/49759340.png With the ruler draw your next leg. Note 40km at 284 deg http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/8373/18075383.png Work out how long at your speed (9.5knots) will it take to get to your waypoint. http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/5171/55910014.png Make notes with supermarks http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/6940/89724871.png Draw legs and set headings to your patrol area. "Auto fix" will keep posting your position on the map. You can click on the stopwatch to get an alarm clock that TDW added. This can be set to alarm when your timed legs runs are up. As you get closer to patrol area, start using "No Station Search for Real Nav" You must go below to use as the boat will auto dive. http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/9456/76568801.png |

If I use RN, how can I determine the course of a target? By observing the target. Can be by sight, hydro or radar. If you know what bearing from you the target is - next find the range. Plot this on your map - i.e. bearing 10deg range 7km Wait some time and do it again. You can now plot a second mark and this will give you an est of target course and speed. Enough that you can get closer without them seeing you and plot an attack. To get range by sight you can use the stadi or the raobf To get range by hydro - you need to do some map work - see a snap shot of my tutorials here:- Quote: When you run the Four Bearings Tutorial in game, it will take you through some key areas of map work first. http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/9355/26646616.png http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/2773/94044727.png This is followed by a step by step instruction for finding enough target info from long range hydro contact. Thus allowing you to plan an intercept course and gather all info required for a firing solution. http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/156/42118266.png http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/5757/41397457.png As each part is displayed, you then apply it to your game as the tutorial advances. This will allow you to move on at your own pace. You can also rewind (scroll) and repeat a section again. The tutorial will guide you right through to attacking the target. http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/9688/79230877.png Even as the tutorial is best run with real nav and no map updates, you can have these features on and see what is happening. |

Trevally TDC helper
For easy starting and stopping of these scripts, use the hotkey feature from the automation page. http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/2083/48013027.png To get the best results from the Solution Finder, you should only run it when you are in firing range. 1km to 3km will give you very good solutions with a hit chance very high. 3km to 5km will give you a good solution with a good chance to hit. 5km and above, hmmm not so good :arrgh!: Press your hotkey to start the script and click run. Ensure you are locked onto and set to follow target and have manual target TDC on. Click next to start the script. http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/1030/97934910.png The script will inform you and show you what setting to input into your TDC This will be with the dials - so ensure you have them on. As the info builts in your TDC, it will check that you are iinputting correctly. Here it is informing you of the AOB. As you can see it is 16. Don't worry about the .4235572815:arrgh!: The 16 deg to starboard will do:D http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/ Finding speed. http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/6696/40777723.png Update to range setting. http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/2120/33053219.png When your solution is good - LOS! http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/6430/35563998.png |
And that's why our Trev is "Best of Subsim"! :up:

i followed the instructions that gap posted of how to get the gps navigation back, i can see my sub on the map but cant plot course.
and is the stock target sytem removed in this mod i mean the lock on ship and shoot torpedo |
Two things.
Is there a hot key to close all the hatches during battle stations and has anybody ever had the watch crew remain stuck outside during a dive? Just like in SH4.
