Nice one TDW :up:

This issue bugs me as it must others, thanks for looking into it for us :salute:

Any updates on this?
You would be my hero, TDW :D

Does this mean it might also be possible to add a natural positive or negative buoyancy when the propellers are stopped?

slow moving....very hard to trace out due to numerous procedure calls in the code :doh: Right now trying to find the trim tank and ballast tanks routines.

Hi TheDarkWraith
 

Many Thanks to you for your research and your very very good, important and impressive work. :salute:

Here, you are working on a very important SH5's bug (for me).:up:

Maybe after this, you can make us able to use trim and ballast :o !!
Who knows ?!?:rotfl2:

Another Time many thanks for all your work,

Best regards

Jean

darkwraith is amazing
 

Lifetime sub lover, first time post
This, dive plane control, & individual propeller speed control would bring this game to the level it was destined. darkwraith could u please point me to the software & places I could learn what's needed to help out. I may be inexperienced as once all were but since its clear that we can make this game the nailbiting edge of seat excitement, focus, & fear with an envelope u can push. point me at the "how to" so I can help make more I can do that TOO!!

fingers crossed that the TDW will be able to figure this out
i have a feeling that if he does, we will be in for a serious
trim and ballast system.....good luck

i hope it is like that atm: the longer he doesnt post here, the deeper he digs in the sh5.exe file. in the sh3 modding forum, somebody said it would also be possible to separate the engines. the only problem would be to make the grafiks for extra buttons and gui things... i hope tdw can reach both points: the ballast tanks and the engine controlling. one thing will be sure: adding gui elements wont be the problem for him... :up:

Great!
The depth issue is one of the most annoying bugs in sh5... I made a dirty fix, but I had too many side effects..

well you all, I found a solution :rock: After digging through the SH5.exe file and seeing what was going on the problem was really easy to fix. The problem is in the .sim files of the subs.

I took a VIIb down to 170ft @ 0 knots and it held depth no problem. Working on other subs now :D

You never rest? - you are the best!:rock::rock::rock:

Now, no more ,,blow balast'' , ,,level the boat'' , ,,all stop,, and so on comands needed to keep to good dept.

Wonderful work!:salute:

Here is something for you all to test: http://www.filefront.com/17874042/TD...ng-Problem.7z/

This fixes the depth keeping problem with the 7A, 7C, and 7C41 subs. Still working on the 7B.

You'll be able to keep depth at 0knots down to 170m at least :D

Unzip straight to MODS folder. Enable via JSGME

Haven't fixed the UHS ones yet. These are the stock files fixed.

I'm curious to see how these work at all different kind of depths. I'll probably make a version that requires you to be at at least one knot to hold depth or you slowly gain depth (go deeper) for those that don't like the 'hummingbird' effect.

:rock::rock::rock:Many thanks, I´ll give it a try !!! :rock::rock::rock:

great work TDW. Waiting eagerly for the next mega mod version :D

Hi TheDarkWraigth,

Incredible !!! You are really the best modder I have ever seen :up:

I spent many times for this, but I have never found the solution.
I will try this evening,

Another time, many many thanks for your essential and helpful work on SH5

Best regards,

Jean
