Flack Gun destroyed

[irish1958]

I have NYGM Tonnage War 2.01. When I load the game with a type IIa sub, I get an immediate message: "CE Flack Gun 1 destroyed, Sir!" I get the the same message when I load the game directly from the SHIII shortcut or SH3CMDR 2.6, so I don't think it is the CMDR doing it.
I remember a thread from SH3CMDR 2.5 of a problem in the misc config file with the starboard engine being destroyed at loading.
I haven't tried type IId, but I don't get this message when I load type VIIb

I searched the forum and the NYGM Tonnage War Sticky but couldn't find an answer.
Any help would be appreciated.

I remembered that the sound card sometimes screws things up, so I increased the hardware acceleration on the sound card and did a few other tweaks to the sound system. When I loaded the game this time, I had my flack gun back.

I have some similar problem, in some missions, when it just start up, just after the "Initializing" screen message, i hear a loud big noise...... the mission start up, and when i go to the damage cotrol scree, i have "Sonar : Destroyed" message in red.....

Has it a solution ? :hmm:

Thanks in advance.... :up:

I have gotten the above message about sonar being destroyed also. However, lately I have been in the years 39 and 40, so I haven't has sonar in my subs. I'm sure there is a setting somewhere that causes these things, but I don't know enough about the code to track it down. Perhaps a computer genius will figure it out. I think the problem is in the config\basic config file.

I didn't post any pictures. My computer must have burped.
My deck gun problem is back also. I guess the sound card fix doesn't work
