For example data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat7b\NSS_Uboat7b.cfg

[Properties]
PeriscopeDepth=12;meters
SnorkelDepth=10;meters
CrashDepth=70;meters
MaxDepth=300;meters
SurfaceDepth=7.8;meters
TorpLaunchMaxDepth=20;meters
StormConditions=11,0.1;max wind speed [m/s], max rain intensity [0,1]

Maybe I have misunderstad you totally and if so my apologizes
Hello,

I've tried this setting to my subs (currently using VII-C), editing file 'NSS_Uboat7c.cfg'

[Properties]
PeriscopeDepth=12;meters
SnorkelDepth=12;meters
CrashDepth=100;meters
MaxDepth=260;meters
SurfaceDepth=7.8;meters <-----
TorpLaunchMaxDepth=20;meters
StormConditions=10,1;max wind speed [m/s], max rain intensity [0,1]

With a 7.8m setting, my sub still stays surfaced at 5-meters (looks like the default '5.8' meters.

Also tried to change 'surface-draft' using Timetraveller's SH3 Crush-Depth util, and still no decks-awash; same old 5-meter surface depth.

Is there some trick to get this working? I assume making it work is done by pressing the 'S' key for 'Surface', would keep the sub-draft at the proper/edited setting?

Oh well the .cfg change doesn't work for me. Although it's easy enough to manually change surface-depth.

Btw I like the way Sh3 progressively handles differing decks-awash sub-speeds, because of increasing water-drag. :|\
