Problem using deck guns with GWX 3.0

[brgold]

Sorry for the newb question, but SHIII wont let me use the deck guns for my sub even though I am in crystal clear waters. It keeps saying cannot man deck gun while in rough waters. Any sugestions?

What is the wind speed in your weather report say ?

And is your deckgun manned ?

[brgold]

It says clear skies, 4 mph winds. Im coming out of base so the water is calm as well. What I try to do is go into the personnel view and double click on the deck gun. But again that gives me "cannot man deck gun while in rough waters" error. Also I cant even go the deck gun or flack guns from the sliding bar on the left, they are unclickable.

You should check the CFG file for U-Boat which You using at this moment. Location: Data/Submarine/[U-boat type which you use] - open folder and then open CFG file in notepad and check line for weather.
This is example from stock game for VIIB Sub:

[Unit]
ClassName=SSTypeVIIB
HumanPlayable=YES
Interior=data/Interior/NSS_Uboat7/NSS_Uboat7
UnitType=200
MaxSpeed=17.2
MaxSpeedSubmerged=8.0
Length=66.5
Width=6.2
RenownAwarded=130

[Salvo]
1=1,3,2,4
2=1,2,4
3=1,3,4
4=1,4
5=2,3
6=1,3
7=2,4

[Properties]
PeriscopeDepth=12;meters
SnorkelDepth=10;meters

MaxDepth=300;meters
SurfaceDepth=5.8;meters
TorpLaunchMaxDepth=20;meters
StormConditions=7,0.1;max wind speed [m/s], max rain intensity [0,1]

[EngineProperties]
AllStop=0.00
AheadSlow=0.40
AheadOneThird=0.57
AheadStandard=0.80
AheadFull=0.94
AheadFlank=1.00
BackSlow=-0.26
BackStandard=-0.40
BackFull=-0.53
BackEmergency=-0.66

Check the "Red" line in Your boat.
Make changes at the base only, and not in the mid - patrol base.

Stick this in and you'll be able to use any gun in any/all conditions http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/thumbsup.gif

In my modded game I have to manually move the crew into the deck gun slots. Maybe this would work. Good luck
