If I figure out what's wrong, I'll post it...Thanks...

[Snacko, are you the same Snacko who recently did an online Joint Ops flying course in 1946? If so HI buddy! I too am a virtual submariner as well. I was the same Lionman who had mighty issues with VISTA Ultimate Edition but that is all sorted now and running fine. If you are not the same Snacko, never mind, as you won't have any idea what I'm on about!]
Re this seabed MOD Capt Cox - thank you for an excellent job, given the problems you list. Your explanations save me asking why there is never any kelp in SH III or coral reefs in SH IV when in reality most northern coastlines have almost universal kelp forests for the first few hundred yards off the beach and much further out in shallow water, whilst most southern coastlines have coral reefs that are alive with flora and fauna, even into deeper drop-offs. I spent a working life underwater and the only places I saw such deserted ocean floors were below 150 meters in the North Sea. Shallower depths were almost always very crowded with life. Indeed I once walked on a small hill the size of a sand dune, made entirely of dead starfish and have seen giant rays in the Indian Ocean with a wingspan of 40 feet!
Also, to take my former hobbyhorse in SH III about the need for seagulls (which they put in) into the subsea realm, there should be shed loads of AI fish subsea, both shoals and individual large predators. Ideally reactive to explosions and vessels. I.e. "killable". This may be dismissed by some as "mere eye candy" but in reality the subsea world is an extremely crowded and busy place and very seldom the semi-deserted landscape shown in our (otherwise super realistic) SH sims. Just a professional observation from an old sat diver. After all our sims are about subsea warfare and realism is our common obsession isn't it!
By the way Sailor Steve, although I was a Londoner for 38 years, I now live in Dartmouth, have gulls on my roof, the Royal Naval College on the hill, can see the harbour from by bedroom window and the ocean is less than 200 yards from my front door. Hadn't realised how much I had missed my beloved ocean until I was breathing that salt air again daily. Don't miss the smoke one jot.
Hell there is even a local who's got plans to renovate a WW2 submarine subsea for scrap salvage from wrecks - who wants my input. Not viable I suspect for more reasons that I have room to enumerate. My point being that I am knee deep in mad mariners again. LOL
