Impatient GWX noob has RTFM question

[Sgian Dubh]

Hi all,

THis is probably in the manual, which I am still making my way through, but I just couldn't wait to try out Gibratar in GWX (quite an experience - and lots of Damage control practice - )

The only thing that I had a problem with was diving. (this was before I had taken any damage)

I can use the standard commands just fine, but when I would issue a command for a new depth on the depth meter, I would hear the command repeated by the COB, but then the command would not be executed. For instance, I am at periscope depth and I issue a command for 120 meters. I hear the COB repeat 120 meters, but then we stayed at PD. I was moving forward at 3 knts, so there should have been sufficeint flow over the control surfaces to accomplish this, albeit slowly. I let it run for a good 15 minuties and we hadn't even started to move to the lower depth.

Yet I have started a campaign where I haven't noticed this - but then I can't say for certain that I have done anything but go to a 'pre-set' depth by keyboard in the campaign as I am still transiting to the North Sea.

If someone just wants to say RTFM pp.xx-xx, that's fine. I just want to get in-sim as fast as possible.

Thanks in advance.
