Welcome aboard Mark!

I'm fairly sure we can help, but we'll probably need a little more info... When you say you can't get them to work, what exactly is happening? Are you trying to use the Shift-F keys? And if so, are you getting any response?

Might also be helpful if you point out the link to the mod because I for one aren't even sure what mod you are referring too

Thanks for the replies guys, I'm using Gwx_DFa-flags&pens_2010 via JSGME, yes i'm using shift and f keys with no result.

The most common cause for this is not having a watch officer on deck. The way the mod is coded, the command can only be executed if the WO is on station.

If he's there and you're still having issues, then I'd double check to make sure the 7z archive was unpacked properly before being enabled. Try disabling and then re-enabling in case one of the files failed to copy correctly.

If you try that and it still doesn't work, then I'd re-download the mod from another source. Not sure where you got yours, but there's always a chance it could be a faulty DL or even contain a corrupt file.

Hope this helps and good luck!

Ahoy Mark
I had (and still have) a problem with the flags because of the interior mod I'm using. I got the flags to work (like they said; have a watch officer on deck. The two commands are Shift+F and Command+F) but I did this at the expense of not having open hatches. I went back to having the Hatches open and close. I'm still trying to get both to work at the same time.
If you're using an interior mod this might be your problem. If not, then you might get this solved even easier by just trying to load the mod in a differant sequence.
You should be very close as I can say after having a glitch with this mod myself that it does work.
Hope this helps and Gute Hunting.
