Somewhere amongst the dark and creepy gloom of my mod soup something has prevented my sub from surfacing properly. lol

I order the crew to surface and... my boat comes up to a depth of 7 meters but not further, If I want to properly surface I have to manually click on the depth guage to finish the order.

Before I list my mods out.... has anyone ever had this wierd bug?


Thanks guys

IN the past the U boat would surface completely and fully with a depth reading of about 5 meters.

Now ( after ordering surface ) the boat is always about 7m - So I cant even open the hatch.

I actually have to use my mouse to click on the dial to take the boat up those final 2 meters to the surface before I can go up on the bridge. Its just strange lol.

Check the following file for your boat:
Data\Submarine\NSS_UboatXX\NSS_UboatXX.cfg
[Properties]
SurfaceDepth=5.3;meters

Ensure SurfaceDepth is between 5.0 and 5.5 - or adjust as needed.


Also, using Goblin Editor to view SIM file located in same location.
Start the Goblin Editor App
Load the NSS_UboatXX.GR2
Merge the NSS_UboatXX.SIM
Open unit_Submarine @ NSS_UboatXX control
Expand unit_Sabmarine
Expand obj_Hydro
Expand Surfaced
What is the value for draught? My VIIC is 4.8

Yes , that has fixed it. for some reason my VIIA's surface depth in that file was set to 8 meters. I have no idea why! Now its at 5 and I can surface properly again! Thanks Beast!
