If I try to reduce realism in the main menu to leave out manual targeting, it does not seem to work in game. It seems I still need to calculate some data points to get a target solution.

At least until I got a better feel for the game I would like to have targeting a lesser challenge with TWOS. If you could help me out here I would appreciate.

There's an option "Manual targeting enforced" (true/false) available in OFEV application ("XO TDC" tab). Check FAQ for more and and set up game difficulty to your liking...

Thanks mate!

Btw, is the in game cinematic music "Das Boot" taken from a separate mod? I saw that the main menu/music is taken from a separate mod, but I could not identify the mod from which the in game music of the movie is taken from.

Dude. Played all day. Holy crap. Sooo much better than i remember. I did have to use the out of game editor thing to turn on easy targeting. Until I get the hang of manual again.

Additionally, I have an old copy of TDWs sub flag (flagpole for your uboat) mod. Unsure if that got lost or was purposely not added, but if you need it let me know. I dont want to mess with the boat upgrades to make them display just because I do remember it took a bit of work and I dont want to break anything.

Hi guys, just trying to get back into SH5 after a long break. I have done a clean install plus added Wolves of Steel.
I am trying to do the 90 degree attack tutorial but I cannot get past the stage where it asks me to turn on the TDC. The highlighter zooms into a blank area on my screen where no buttons appear and I cannot press the next button. Where do I press? Can anyone help?

EDIT: I finally managed to find the TDC on button :-) now I have enabled Real Navigation for an extra challenge!

I am also having the occasional CTD when playing the tutorials. I followed every stage of the install guide, the forum instructions and the video guide but still get CTDs. (I have always had an occasional CTD problem with SH5 since the beginning).

This is not the first time that people have complained about CTDs during Trevally's tutorial sessions, but since I dont use them , I cant do much about that...I need more data...
Check my sig for "how to report an issue" and try to be more concrete...Which tutorial, how to reproduce CTD ect...

EDIT:.
I've just completed two tutorials without CTDs (RAOBF and 90deg attack 1)...

As I said, until I'm able to reproduce the issue I must assume that it is caused by user or by inadequate game/mod installation...Sorry...

Subflag = CTD. Rgr good to know, Thanks. Shame.

Any idea why the button to take over manual dive plane control does nothing?

Probably incorrectly activated TDW Generic patcher or the Shapshot...(Step 6)

ual002 · 01-31-16, 03:10 PM

I guess i need to do it again since 1.03? or because i replaced my captains picture? or Both?

I dont get you there? What "1.03" ?

Regarding captain picture, simple dds file replace wont do any harm, I'm sure...

ual002 · 01-31-16, 03:31 PM

Sorry, 1.05 upd 3

No, you have to activate the patcher and the snapshot only once, on your first game/mod installation. When it's required to re-enable the shapshot with new update , I usually point it out in update in update's readme instructions.

Check your TDW patcher, it should look like this if everything is OK...

ual002 · 01-31-16, 10:06 PM

I don't think I was fully updated the first time I did this. I'm seeing more items in the unexploded list now. I had like 4 originally. Should have stopped there but somehow the game ran.

I'll report back possibly tomorrow. Thanks for your quick replies.

EDIT: looks good so far. Quick question. So the included flag document indicates faction allegience. The dutch ships (netherlands) prior to the date specified as ALLIED, I can assume are neutral?

Vecko Artillery coastal defense patches should be disabled by default?

Yes, because TWoS coastal defenses already have their own hydro capabilities...

Keep in mind guys that correctly activated Generic Patcher (step 6) is crucial for SH5...Everything is explained in details so make sure not to mess up something there ...

Until German attack, yes...
