sounds like a very reasonable request....consider it done

I am guessing DW has not uploaded it here due to the frequent changes. At this point in time no sense having a bunch versions floating around here at SUBSIM.

v2.5.0 is uploaded at subsim.com. It's in the downloads section under interface mods.

Here's a download link: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/down...=1811&act=down

I just keep updating the same download post so that I don't have mutliple version floating around in the downloads section.

I just got the game today and I've been trying for last two hours to lower my periscope (not a bright start to my naval career!). I saw a post saying this mod will do that. I've been researching the mods and how to install them, and I've got a few working but can't seem to get this one going.

I opened the zip file and had it extract into "c:\ubisoft\silent hunter 5\Mods" and it shows up on the list in Generic Mod Enabler and shows it's activated but I don't see any difference and my periscope is still stuck, so I don't think it's working.

Am I missing something? And is there somethign easy in the game I can look for to tell if it's enabled?

Watch this video to see how to properly install this mod:

Other than the mod, you can control the Attack Periscope using Ins button to raise it and Del to lower it. For the Observation Periscope it's PageUp to raise it and PageDown to lower it. With both scopes Shift+key = fully whatever. So to fully lower your Attack Scope press Shift-Del. To fully raise your Obs Scope, Shift-PageUp.

One "gotcha" is that you cannot fully lower the Obs Scope while you're looking through it, since it needs to lower into the control room floor.

Also, welcome aboard!!

Welcome aboard SeaBass70!

First of all, this mod is a totally different UI (meaning user interface). To get it to work do this. 1. extract the file. 2. open the folder, and inside you will find another folder named NewUIs_TDC_2_5_0_TheDarkWraith, open that folder and you will be faced with several folders. 3. Go into the Mods folder and copy two files: NewUIs_TDC_2_5_0_ByTheDarkWraith and whichever TDC(meaning Torpedo Data Computer) for a beginner I would recommend NewUIs_TDC_2_5_0_SpreadAngleOnly_TDC to c:\ubisoft\silent hunter 5\Mods 4. enable both in JSGME

Though this will get this mod to work, that may not be what you need, are you sure you are trying the right thing on the periscope to make it go down?

Edit: kylania beat me too it, oh well.

hmmmm,

I think no one on a ship or submarine would say "-172" degrees?

So I would delete this.

Your given "True Bearing", could we change it to "Rel. Bearing" (the german "Peilung"):

"A relative bearing is one in which the reference direction is straight ahead, where the bearing is measured relative to the direction the navigator is facing (on land) or in relation to the vessel's bow (aboard ship)"

wikipedia

The Intercept:

This is in my opinion the "true bearing" - german "rechtweisende Peilung"
"A true bearing is measured in relation to the fixed horizontal reference plane of true north, that is, using the direction toward the geographic north pole as a reference point."

wikipedia

Ok, in my opinion, then we have all we need for a given contact, what do you mean?

Paco.

If I want to assign some of the commands implemented with your scripts to my numerical keyboard what should I do?
For example would Num5 work?
