I think it cant be done because many things are not included into save data.
The game even don't save hunted ship damage, so if you restart game while chasing one, it will be at 100% health after reload.
I think while its not good, its much better than some unstable states which could crash game if it would be saved too..

Fair enough, but if that stuff is added from a mod, shouldn't there be a cfg file for it. You might not be able to save the changes you make in game but you could at least boot the game with the changes made to the cfg... if that makes sense.

Hi ual
All the options that you refer to by clicking on the button in each map offers you a selection of changes just for that gaming session but can be made permanently in TDW's Options File Editor Viewer.
You must first disable your mods before you can make any changes, save the changes and then enable the mods again.
You need to go to the nav map and TAi map tabs in the OFEV.

Perfect. I'll do just that. Very helpful. I guess I should have just figured that out for myself. But I would have probably forgetting to activate/disengage the mods.

You should get message by radio about how big circle around the point you could patrol and how long you have to be there.

Most common is 80km circle 72 hours.
Sometimes you could be in 200km, it depends.

I feel like if you reload a game inside the patrol zone messes up the timer. Don't quote me on that though.

hi,vdr,my question is when you want to rug for silent running,should i press "z" or F8?F8 will order executive officer rig for silent running,but what is the key Z doing for?

Is it really possible to spare fuel by switch one side to electric engine and start recharging?
I would say its nonsense, because of recharging mechanical resistance is higher, than torque given for recharged energy (you would have Perpetuum mobile otherwise).

But this is something i saw as meme in loading screen.. :hmmm:

THEBERBSTER 02-06-16 05:44 AM

Hi ual
All patrol grid objectives must be done in 1 gaming session without any manual game saves.
If you put an X mark in the centre of the your grid use the compass and pull it out to 250km; just make a note of the time when you pass through it and it will give you a good idea of the time spent patrolling.
You should get a radio message with a time and date start and also you have your Captain's Log.
Another option if you want to know what is going on is to set up the player objectives tab in TDW's Options File Editor Viewer. By using this you will always know when you have completed the grid and will show you the next patrol area if there is one.

In this picture by clicking on the yellow button bit I can confirm where I need to be.

Hi JT
The shortcut for Silent Running is the 'Z' key.

Just a quick question regarding the 'Sub on bottom fix' in the patcher; I got hit by a plane and started flooding in the front 2 compartments, dragging the bow under and sinking in 30m of water. Hit the seabed at about 3 knts and came to rest after I dialled in a depth lower than the sea floor hoping to sit there and repair. Unfortunately, no matter what TC I set I kept jumping around and taking more damage, eventually destroying the pressure hull and bulkheads in the torpedo room, and going to a watery grave.

Next career I found some shallow water and went to periscope depth and stopped, then I dialled in a lower depth than the seabed and came to a rest on the bottom. This time, with no flooding I was able to bring up the TC without taking damage. So, if I have flooding and start to sink with no way to maintain depth off the bottom, am I screwed?

Agreed some of the more basic common questions can be found there however don't be afraid to ask the more detailed questions not covered there.

Thats strange, i always get the message before i reached the circle, but it could be removed from log if you reload the game.
Try to accomplish your patrol just by looking for targets on your own (patrolling in circles gives you almost nothing anyway, only important are hits), reload game in docks and try it next patrol.

Ronowitsch 02-06-16 02:34 PM

I am happy
 
thank you very much ;-) very good mod

THEBERBSTER 02-06-16 03:02 PM

It would still be in the Captain's Log as a radio message showing the date and time unless you exited the game without making a save.

As i finally found time to try 1.0.5 from friday evening i have to say every change made my experience much better yet, thank you for awesome work again.

Particularly sh5 UI as default UI is great chose, because now it allows me to order course and depth precisely without try and fails.
I like even current avatars more, because now it makes sense more than before.

Previous mods were more beautiful but very less usable, so it does make sense to have usable UI at default with possibility to make it more nice but less readable (controlable)

Thanks :salute:
