Hey there,

Just wanted to hop in really quick and thank you for creating this awesome guide! For a relatively new SH5-TWoS captain your post was both very informative and genuinely entertaining to read.

Thanks again!

@Lanzfeld... did you set up a journal in the main menu? You have to click on this, and name a journal. If you did this and still have trouble, I'm afraid I cannot help friend.

@Malwulf... glad you like it. I want to pass all I know to others, and it makes it worth while hearing comments like yours.

No....no journal.

Didn’t read anything about that. Ok.....I’ll try it.



Edit..... i’m starting to remember something long ago about a journal.

P.S. also may I ask you how you modify the bad weather to give higher wind speeds?




Thanks

@Lanzfeld...

If you did not set up journal you will NOT record anything.

You can activate patches to get it. Go into your c:/Silent Hunter 5 and look for your patches file (I can't remember what it's called. I am not home) and activate it.

OK I’ll check another journal thank you.

I hate to bother you again but could you please give me a step-by-step about increasing the wind speed? I see nothing that says patches.

It’s in a patch. It’s the only way to increase it. The patch allows wind speeds of 60 m/s!

Does that actually do anything though?
I do not think that you get higher waves, so what exactly is different with wind speed 60m/s if you compare it to wind speed 15 m/s?

Not sure. Never played without it, but your torpedo depth settings and percentage of premature detonations will change significantly!

Open generic patcher and look into the second entry. TDW_EnvSim_Patch.s5p

The patch is useless and it's name is misleading. It doesn't do anything special with weather engine and enabling it will actually have the opposite effect in game-always calm seas... You are free to test it though.

Yeah, I thought that it didn´t really do anything since the weather in SH5 can not visually get any worse than it does currently with 15m/s. Which is a shame really since it would be kind of amazing to get into a proper storm sometimes . We would have to create new sea states though, and I think that is impossible since that stuff is hardcoded.

Thank you.

You wouldn’t happen to know how I open this type of file with you?

GenericPatcher.exe

I hope you are using The Wolves of Steel mod.
If yes, then you should have used that tool already at least once.

So the real question is.......does a wind speed of 60 m/s effect the torpedos any worse than 15 m/s IN THE GAME?
