Do you respect all the installation instructions? I installed it at first test, all working as expected, very stable by now. I´m a noobie with SH5, BTW.

Best regards.

Need more info.

TWOS is a very stable platform.

No complaints from me.

Problem fixed, the main TWOS rar extracts into another folder withint the Sh5 folder. One folder too deep basically.

I think you didnt read the instructions!

Step 6:
Properly activate TDW generic patcher and restore "TWoS 1.04_Snapshot.gps". The patcher, snapshot and install instructions are already placed in the main game folder (Silent Hunter 5/TDW_GenericPatcher_v_1_0_168_0). (Steam version is not supported)

I just gave up and decided to once again reinstall the game (I think this is the fourth time, though it could be 5). It seems to be working now, kind of. It only crashes once an hour instead of every five minutes, so that's an improvement anyway.

One strange thing I've noticed is that I can't seem to get the deck gun to upgrade to the 105mm version. I bought the stupid thing, but I still have the 88mm gun (same ammo count as the 88mm gun rather than decreasing as it should, same description in the summary, same damage, etc - yes I'm aware that the model for both is the same but the evidence is clear that the upgrade did not work). While I get that in real life type VII boats never had the 105mm gun, if the intention was to make the upgrade impossible it should have been disabled so I wouldn't have wasted renown on it.

What port were you at when you upgraded the gun ?

The search function didn't do me very much good but I have some questions. I'm getting involved with SH5, even though I biught it when it came out, heard horror stories and never touched it. I can't get SH3 to work on Win 7 (but never mind that).
I was wondering if this can be used without the real navigation, not something I'm interested in doing. Also, is there a way to get SH4 keyboard layout and UI for SH5? Honestly I hate the way SH5 is laid out and after getting adjusted to SH4 I would rather use that then the stock for this sim.
Is there someone willing to be a mentor in regard to setting SH5 up so I can enjoy running it? I'm not a hardcore player, but very casual. I finally figured out how to use auto TDC and my hat is off to those that want manual but no my cup of tea. My favorite part of SH4 is running along the surface with the external view locked on my boat (from the period pressing). I love that option and miss it in Sh5, I hate chasing my boat.

Either way, my hat is off to all those that have put in many hours making a lackluster game so much better.

yep, the problem arises when the player needs to discriminate between valid and not valid targets, among the ones sharing the same flag; i.e. Denmark vs. FreeDenmark, for instance.

Is it possible that you put some neutral nations within Allied convoys, when their Allied counterpart was already available in game? I.e. Danish ships instead of FreeDanish ones, by sticking to the nations in my previous example.

Hi Zinmar

The different UI's are changed in TDW's Options File Editior Viewer.


Real Navigation is just a mod enabled in JSGME.

See my tutorial post #146 regarding Auto TDC.

Use the Camera Icons at the top of the screen and the W-A-S-D keys to turn the camera.

Scroll the mouse key when in F2 will change the magnification.

F2 + Shift will speed the camera up.

Numeric keypad > 7 key to raise and 1 key to lower 4 & 6 to turn when in F2.

For 1 to 1 mentoring/tuition, just send me a PM or reply to my Email theberbster@sky.com

I will give you as much time as you need.

Peter

Hey guys,
does the new WoS version still work with the TDW options file editor? The changes I've made with the editor have no influence to the game anymore... With WoS 1.03 everything worked fine. In the installation guide for the new version there is no word about the editor

Thank you Trevally, I think most of the problems came from us not informing the final player on how we set "free" nations, and how their ships are used in campaign, so that players don't know what to do when they meet a neutral ship in game. As you said, red messages are the best way to dispense this information, making sure that the player will read it.

yes, I agree Gap

Should be a simple case to list the free nations and their dates from defside, then add to year/month folders within the campaign messages.

Where free nations have the same flag as original nation - this won't help unless there is some other way to id ship nation or adjust the flag
