Hi guys,

Is just me (as I tried the search routine as crazy)?

Sometimes (in a VIIa) my conning tower hacth door stay locked closed and then the crew canīt go up or down...:/\\!!
Any idea or a fix for this?:06:

Hi Rubini. Not sure; just some suggestion. Does it get fixed if you dive back down and resurface? I have this happen sometimes in VIIB/C in heavy weather when surfacing and it gets kind of stuck for a while as I guess it reads that it's still submerged. But after a while on surface it reads finally as surfaced and no more problem. But your situation sounds like it's stuck all the time? :salute:

Rubini, does the hatch eventually open, or does it stay that way?
Also do you have any mods that adjust the wave height?:hmmm:

Same here,
Especially in the "a" boats and you're absolutely correct. Heavy seas make it worse. The boat does not become surfaced until a certain amount of time goes by at 5m depth. If you keep modulating between 5 and 6m while you're surfacing, it takes the boat longer to get through that time delay. The Surfacing icon "with the timer keeps restarting.
I'll even hear the sound and see the hatch try and then get stuck, however, the hatch eventually opens. I hope that this is the case here...:o
