Ok, I'm new to the sub simulators. Just started playing Silent Hunter 3 and so far I think its absolutely awesome. I'm playing with the training missions right now and have a question about something that's occurred. So, I'm going along at say 15 knots or something. I order a full stop. Engage in some deck gun combat or something. Then I tell them to go ahead full. Nothing. The officer responds to my command, only the engines never turn on and never engage. I just keep drifting from my all stop command until I eventually stop. Then after a little while of being stopped, the command takes affect and the engines kick on. Anyone have any idea why this is happening? I know for a fact if this happens in a combat situation I'm doomed. Thanks for any and all help.
