NOTE: This was after the "NewUIs_TDC_6_7_0_TheDarkWraith.7z" was installed.

Question;

When the snorkel tube is elevated, is the sub supposed to automatically run on diesels? When descending to snorkle depth, a msg says "diesels disengaged". They don't engage at snorkle depth

Mine still runs on electric motors, I still run out of oxygen, and Co climbs.

My depth is at 14m.

I'm running this with the "Sub exhaust testing" mission. (mission only) and other historical missions

These are the mods I used;
_TDW FX_Update_0_0_18_ByTheDarkWraith
_TDW SENSORS - IRAI_0_0_30_ByTheDarkWraith jp
EQUIP - R.E.M_by_Xrundel_TheBeast_1.2
_TDW NewUIs_TDC_6_7_0_ByTheDarkWraith JP

What happens if my UIs mod (v6.7.0) is the only mod enabled in JSGME? Do you still have the same problems?

The CO2 still increasing and running out of O2 with snorkel raised in game bug that requires digging into the .exe and .act files to fix.

Once the snorkel is raised and the sub is underwater it should automatically switch over to diesel operation.

Me...was the problem.

I misread your explicit instructions and thought that all I had to do was click the icon "go to snorkle depth" (far left screen). I never saw the icon to "raise the snorkle" (mid screen) :damn::damn::damn:.

I figured it had to be ME, because no-one else was having this problem. :oops::oops::oops::oops::oops:

Can someone tell me how to adjust the height of the snorkel when it is in the lowered position? I'd like to lower it out of my line of sight when I am on the bridge.

I guess, as an alternative, is there a way to uninstall the snorkel from my boat? I'd put it back into service in 1944 I suppose.

Thank you.

does the snorkel use has an effect on the detection-possibility of your sub?

Hi !

Open the .sns File with Notepad (you´ll find the file in each Submarine Folder under ...data\Submarine; e.g. data/Submarine/NSS_Uboat7c/NSS_Uboat7c.sns) with Win Notepad and find this entry:

[Sensor 14]
NodeName=O04
;LinkName=NULL
LinkName=SCHNORCHEL,data\Objects\Sensors\UBoot_Sen sors
StartDate=19430901
;EndDate=19430901
EndDate=19451231

Now remove the semicolon from LinkName and set it before Node Name:

[Sensor 14]
;NodeName=O04
LinkName=NULL
LinkName=SCHNORCHEL,data\Objects\Sensors\UBoot_Sen sors
StartDate=19430901
;EndDate=19430901
EndDate=19451231

That´s it !

Best regards,
Magic

Magic,

When I follow your instructions, I get a CTD. I think this is the correct way to disable the snorkel.

Disable Schnorkel?

I've tried all the methods shown to disable/remove the schnorkel and they all cause a CTD.I think the time has come to ask the creator of the mod.So please TDW, can you tell us what is the correct way to do it? Any help much appreciated.

From the pictures I´ve seen, isn´t this a type IV snorkel that was only used in Type XXI and XXIII boats - telescopic snorkel?
Type VII boats had hinged snorkels, with the base set into an axle while the tube was raised and lowered like an arm and locked to the conning tower, when extended.

I made a new Hinged Snorkel Model that works but does not lower completely.
Maybe TDW can figure something out.

Also put together smaller Typ-XXIII Snorkel Model that does not stick out at keel level.

Here is Hinged Typ-VII Snorkel

Snorkel does not return to full down position.

NOTE:
The Hinged Snorkel would replace Deck Gun. If both Deck Gun and Hinged Snorkel were installed at same time they would hit each other when Snorkel is used.
That is why all (Type-VII and Type-IX) wrecked U-boats that have been found that had a Snorkel installed did not have a deck gun.
