Crash Dive Not Stopping?

Makr · 04-21-07, 09:28 AM

Im using GWX 1.03 and Ive had to crash dive a few times the past couple missions. However, my boat doesn't want to stop diving....I set a new depth, but the thing keeps diving, until it hits like 250, I start getting nervous and blow ballast....am I missing something or is this a possible bug??

Thanks!

Only thing I know of is if you press D for dive you keep going down whereas C brings you to a controlled depth. That prob doesn't help you though if your boat keeps going down after you specify a depth :hmm:

Or use the A key to stop your desent and hold at that level.

I don't think it's a bug. Though still on my first 1.03 patrol, made a couple of crash dives and stopped them normally with A key.

Are you using SH3 Commander? There a simulated malfunctions that will cause your crash depth to vary, sometime by a little & others by a lot.

Yeah, I'm using Commander.

Haven't tried using the A key......in the past my crash dives stopped, or at least I think they did. Next time I'll try the A key. Thanks for the responses.
