SCX wake-homers not enabling

AirHippo · 07-01-14, 01:24 PM

Hi guys - once more got bitten by the SC bug and decided to reinstall the Steam version with SCX IIC. Everything went as hoped in that respect, but I'm finding that the Russian wake-homing torpedoes aren't enabling at all. They simply launch from the tubes and zoom off in a straight line, never once activating their sensors. Moreover, the auto-crew (if you choose to use them) will frequently set the torpedo's Run To Enable to a figure which will take it far past its intended target before enabling.

I don't remember this being a problem in previous install of SCX IIC, not even previous Steam installs; and, sadly, it really draws the teeth of the Russian boats a bit, particularly those with the 650mm tubes.

I realise probably nobody plays SC anymore, and I imagine the SCX team are long moved on to fresh woods and pastures new, but if anyone has any helpful insights I'd be appreciative
