Got it to work again, i just had to wait a bit longer for it to load ;s

Anyway i cant seem to plot a course, my navigator has those options grayed out, is that intended?

I have real navigation enabled. The navigator can only calculate our position, the course plotting option is always grayed out.

Which is a pain when i need to maneuver through shallow straits (ie around denmark) because i need to constantly eyeball the shores.

Also i know that this mod is going for realism, but the nights never get that dark with the 70% of the moon being visible during clear skies ;s I cant even get the XO dialogue (space) in the middle of the night to enter mast height into tdc, even though im likely less than 2km from target

Just returning to Subsim and see this Gem. Last time I played SH5 was with OH II.

Thanks for all you modders do! Was a HUGE GWX fan back in the day so Im looking forward to TWOS (understand it isn't a complete rework as GWX was..but damn it looks close)!

:salute: :subsim:

welcome back!
 

Yes ...been a LONG time. Just watched Das Boot this weekend and got it by the bug again to sail in my Iron Coffin!

Just sailed out on my first patrol from Memel: man I feel like a complete newbie!

Welcome back to SUBSIM, Faamecanic :Kaleun_Cheers::Kaleun_Cheers::Kaleun_Cheers:

Enjoy!

Thanks Fitz and Berbster :salute:

Quick question...when I go to my Sub Management screen..part of it is in German and some of it in English. Is this normal??

Yes, equipment names names are in German but detailed descriptions bellow are still in English...:yep:

Thanks vdr! and THANKS for all your work (and other modders that have contributed).... :Kaleun_Salute:

Does this pack comes with options file editor? I can't seem to find it in games files

Check TWoS documentation folder for "how to use" OFEV instructions.
OFEV desktop shortcut should also be automatically created on first mod extraction...

You do understand that real navigation is completely optional feature ?

Use Battle stations when you expect contact(s) (smartly of course) to increase "awareness" of your watch crew and other stations...

Ok so a quick question... and please don't make me walk the plank for this:

I have very limited time for play sessions (between work , kids , wife)... I know way back in the day I found a way to re-enable contact tails... can some kind soul help me do this. I need my training wheels back :D and for now I don't have the time to use Real navigation and full manual TDC.

Barring getting tails (it doesn't take much to figure out course and bearing)..... I thought I had everything set right to NOT have to do the manual TDC, but it seems like maybe I don't. I can seem to hit the broad side of a barn. What settings do I need to make sure and set to turn off Manual TDC?

Maybe this holiday season (when I have 3 weeks off from work) I will hone my skills and take the training wheels off. I have tried a search for the last 40 min and cannot find an answer.

Thanks in advance all.

And how do I get these dials? I for the life of me cant figure out how to set my depth!! Very bad when I made two polish DD's mad at me (with horribly missed torpedo shots) and all I have is crash dive in 60M of water..lol

Adding back contact tails is possible but I cant remember right now which files are responsible for this feature...:hmmm: Cant right now but I'll take a look as soon as I find some spare time...

Just switch to SH3 UI style with Options File Editor Viever (check FAQ and documentation folder for "How to use" instructions)...

Faamecanic - Hold shift to access different types of gauges, F1 shows the keybinds.
To get the gauges you asked in your post you would need to edit some options: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...postcount=2521

Mainly in dials tab change values from 200 to 400.


Now, does anyone know how to change TDC dials to be bigger, or from SH4 or SH3?

Thanks all. And thanks VDR ... no rush as I can figure bearing out, but as a person with training wheels I wouldn't mind having that back for a few patrols.

Last question, I have spotted and reported the Polish fleet in the first patrol mission. I am at periscope depth and have fired two torps....

I THINK I have easy mode non manual TDC on as my XO options only say "Turn auto tdc off". So I fire two eels and it seems like they are NOT on auto tdc. Are there any settings I may be missing?

Do you unmark "manual targeting" in the general options when in Bunker, before patrol? I suppose yes.

You can mark your target with space key and block the visuals with "X" key. In early war, there are many failures with eels. Autotargeting don´t means in TWoS "secure torpedo impact".

In my early times with TWoS, I use autotargeting, and there were a lot of missing/prematures.


Best regards.
