@ OttoSchuhart

Privateer & Anvart are correct but they don't need anyone to tell them that.

The depthcharge.sim file only has settings for 1 type of DC. The game only has/uses 1 DC model/setting.

All you have done is corrupt your sim file by writing a new tweak file for the depthcharge.sim which adds additional DC settings. This is how Minitweaker works. You have to firstly identify what the games uses & calls for and then write a tweak file to utilise those events.

Just because you have written in 5 DC settings and added them to your sim file does not mean that the game has 5 DC's to use.

You have proved that you can write a tweak file, now prove that the game actually has and uses 5 DC's.

P.S Take this as 100% true. If there is anyone within this commuity that knows what EVERY file....has/does or works...it's Privateer & Anvart.

Don't take this as a rude response from me but you're up against two of the most knowledgeable members here. Take a look at a clean/unmodded version of your Sim file.

@ OLC

Anvart was demonstrating a clean/unmodded version of the DC.sim. The OP has corrupted his copy by re-writing the tweak file, thus he added the extra DC settings. Minitweaker is a powerful tool but it always allowed people to fubar their files if not used properly.
