For both the fuel and the free cam, go into the game options and ensure that you don't have infinite fuel enabled and the external cam deactivated. The external view can be activated by pressed the F2 key. If that isn't the problem then I'm not sure. Hope it helps!

Glad you got the fuel issue fixed. What is the problem with the external cam? Or are you not talking about the external cam?

Hi griffin

Free cam mode would be F2

1 key would lower the free cam.

7 key would raise the free cam.

I know it is very late and the Game is no more supported.
Nevertheless i want to report a Bug

I detected 2 enemy U-Boats/Submarines

Now i wanted to hear them trough Hydrophone, but if i enter the Hydrophone, the Game crashes immediatly, every time if i try it.

Do you have this issue too?
Maybe it is hard for you to retrace/test this bug, because enemy U-Boats/Submarines are rare to meet.

I tested the Hydrophone in other Savegames with other Ships: no problems.
After i sunk both enemy Submarines (c below how), i could enter the Hydrophon-Station again without a crash.
So the enemy U-boats/Submarines must be definitely the reason for the Crashs

Maybe a Sound Error or something with the soundfile, how a Submarine noises through a Hydrophone.

My GameVersion is 1.2.0.
+ BetterRealisticFlooting Lite
+ BetterRealisticFlooting HP Balance
+ Danevangs Paint Shop 1.0 Type VIIC Pack (Tigerstripes)
+ Accurate Flags

Offtopic:
By the way, i sunk both U-boats with a complicated simultaneous double-hit.

A simultaneous double-hit was needed, because in previous attempts, after one of the boats got hit, the other one dipped & dodged into depth 3 seconds later.

Here is the picture of a enemy Submarine outside the Museum: ^^

Is it standard bug that crew stays on deck when diving, and then somehow teleport inside? How can i fix this?

It will be interesting to hear about the real ones.

Hello - like your Tonkin patch...been there done that (But not in the Gulf). I have SH5 - ran it ok in XP but in WIn 7 pro 64 bit all I get is the vid beginning and nothing else! That's a pain in the ass huge f**king bug. So far no help from anyone including Ubisoft (can't hold my breath forever). Any ideas? As far as The Republic of....USN, never again!

I need to see if anybody or somebody can help me out on Silent Hunter 5 Wolves of steel mods. 1)So far I'm having problems with the user charts that is blank and will not shut down or turn off. I have to move it to the side to hide it or out of view. 2)Problem of radio message option will not turn off. 3)I can not open up my ship reference book and also in front of the book it only say OK only. 4)Plus my automation chart is blank.

First post. I'm probably breaking some protocol here but I'm here to vent a little. I know I am new, very new, but I've been around games a while (pre-internet gaming days) and while I'm not a current gamer I got interested in SH5 a few weeks and ago and the idea of the sim drew me back in. Earlier sub sim was Red October on my Amiga 500 (just to date myself a little).

Man, I have never seen such a buggy game, from the install, uninstall, install, uninstall, and install to finally get full screen, sound, and past the opening movie issue to the ctd randomly and the first mission progress bar not being filled. Considering this is the 5th game in what seems like a well established series of sub sims I would have hoped for better. Thankfully there are the folks here who have patched, modded, and offer their experience, tips, and techniques to make the game worth playing.

Thank you to those who provide that help.

Okay. I've read the manual which does nothing to teach a person what they should be doing in the game, unless I am missing something (Like ANOTHER manual). But my friend, Youtube, google, and this site have gotten me on track for the most part. But some questions still linger:

Do I have to walk in 1st person mode to the various parts of the sub, say from the sonar room to the periscope or from the conning tower back inside (did I complain about the horrid control to look down and go in the hatch, I've played my fair share of FPV shooters and these guys failed here). Is there a hot key to get me from one position in the sub to another? If not, I guess I get it - part of the simulation of 'really' being there... but damn.

What about some basic tips on what to do in the area you are assigned. I feel like I am wandering around rather aimlessly and just coming across targets by random luck, aren't there shipping lanes I should be haunting? Are there some actual patrol patterns I could be using to increase my chance of finding a contact?

I have recently begun paying attention to the note thing (log?) in the lower right corner which seems to give radio contact information I may be able to act on - right?

Well, I know if I spend some more time here reading (and not bitching) I'll probably learn everything I need to know, so I'll do that, don't worry I'm not here to just complain about the game and expect everyone to give me the answers (some hints may be nice though). I'm starting here (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...50&postcount=1)

It's a neat game, and many of you have done SO much to make it better, I see that. I will do my best to learn it more, I've certainly come a long way in the short two weeks I've been playing it. I just felt like venting a little, I hope you understand.

Here's my system specs if anyone has some pointers for me based on this.
Game Version 1.2
Graphics fully low (still seems to tax my lappy though)

Macbook pro mid 2010
Win 7 pro 64bit
8gb ram
Geforce M330 (During the install it mentioned something about my graphics driver not meeting specs... could it be seeing the integrated graphics vs the geforce chip? I would think this game would not tax my computer like it is) Using the most recent geforce drivers.

Again thanks guys, sorry for the rant.

THE_MASK · 06-23-15, 11:40 PM

The unmodded game is completely useless .
The mega mods are awesome .

SH5 is an old game and will not recognise later GPU,s.

It also states that you only need 512gb of ram which at the time you woul have got away with.

The minimum requirement today to run SH5 with mods will be 2gb of ram.
