Ok I got it now,, thanks

Nevermind, Beery. It was all coincidence. It seems that it is actually a Vanilla SH4 bug related to saving while submerged. When you load that submerged save, start a new game or load others (though I haven't nailed it down yet totally) your dive planes will in certain conditions remain retracted until you restart the game.

My bad, the timing just all coincided with removing RFB and starting SH4 again.

Now I'll test that out with vanilla only, find out how to reproduce it consistently and post in bugs thread.

Again, My apologies!

Cheers.

Just a Heads up Berry.

To reiterate, this is just a GUESS on my part. Its definatly worth changing the date on your flotilla.upc file if you havent already.

Instead of doing that I just don't allow Gatos before April 12th 1942 (which is when the first one went on patrol) in RFB. I also changed the date in Flotilla.upc to the correct date and I've adjusted the individual submarine start dates to make them more correct. But thanks for the heads up. :up:

But a commander's retirement is not determined by a boat's availability. If a boat is listed in the game data files as unavailable you just get given the option of getting a different boat. Retirement is just a factor of time served (or patrols undertaken) - you only get a random amount of time, after which you're retired to a desk job.

No problem. These things usually turn out to be Ubisoft problems. :)

Berry do somethng with the planes. My sub shot down 100 planes today and they still kept coming. I dove, I changed course, they still kept sending them after me. I got so bored I saved and let them kill me. God those endless waves SUCK!!!

Your files didn't do anything to ctrl F11 did it? I can't do screen shots now?

No. I just took a screenshot while running RFB and it worked fine.

As soon as I can I'll do something about the planes. There are indeed far too many.
