Make sure the weapons officer is at his station. I thought the same thing too when on my save games almost none of the animations would work.
However, usually the Obs scope will not work unless submerged first, not surfaced, but you can hit the O key and raise it, then once under and select periscope depth it will work from then on regardless. The hatch command Shift/ctrl +H works when the weapons officer is at his station. I open mine and keep them open. After saved gamed you have to re-open them again.
Once surfaced, select the WO and give him the order to seek contacts, this will make the planesman disappear. Once you dive they will automatically reappear. The engine animations will work if you hit one of the speed keys i.e. 1,2,3,4,5...it'll get noisy too.
Gramophone animations will not work without the radio operator at his station.
Sound: I went into the sound sh3.sdl file with Silent 3D Editor and the bottom entry is the new diesel sound files. I turned the volume down to 90%. The hydrophone volume control has been omitted in this mod, probably from the "click" option that was integrated in the mod. I also went into the sh3.sdl file and turned up the Hydrophone ambience to 100%, it was set at 91%.
As it was said before," Read the "effin" manual"...which sorry to say I didn't read completely. I did all of the editing (I use Magui/OLC) in the *.cfg and camera.dat files. Everything works great now. The mod author made a few "slights" perhaps. Almost all fixable. This is perhaps one of the biggest mods I have seen since GWX. I think one of the hurdles with this new mod is that there are so many other older mods to contend with. It will be awhile before all the ducks get into a row. The author of this mod did a fantastic job for which I am grateful. Almost re-invented the sim itself.
Anyway....read the manual, make the necessary edits and look at all the other posts. Some of the other modders have already made their updates for this FM mod. Good luck!!
