Type XXI won't go

Coolhand01 · 12-28-05, 08:02 PM

In single missions my type XXI won't move(the only time I've ever used one). Anybody else have this problem? Running IuB plus some eye candy. System Specs are:
AMD Athlon 3000+
1GIG RAM
GForce 6800GT
Sony P1110 21" Monitor

I never have been able to get it to move which really sucks. And yes the engine room is full to capacity and the bar is just below half...ANY HELP will be GREATLY appreciated..TIA...CH

Try putting it in reverse, then put it in forward again.

Coolhand01 · 12-28-05, 08:07 PM

Did that...No Joy

Doublecheck your basic.cfg settings for the type XXI?

This is assuming you've edited it yourself. I know some odd things can happen if you put in the ID code for a certain part, in the wrong spot.

Haven't changed anything for any of the boats other than what IuB changed...CH

I'll look but I have no idea what i'm looking for..Could you elaborate please?...CH

edit: just looked and noticed that one of the lines had XIX and the one below it had XXI...Changed the XIX to XXI...could this have been the problem?

that wasn't it...this is really starting to p@ss me off...

ignore my last post, If you didnt edit your basic.cfg then thats not the problem.

Try to duplicate the problem, IE, try another single mission and use the type 21 and see if it happends again.

Coolhand01 · 12-28-05, 10:30 PM

Yep..it happens with all of them

Ducimus · 12-28-05, 10:47 PM

Just so im clear, you start a mission and the sub just sits there.

Wont move forward, wont move backward - on the surfacing im assuming?
Have you tried diving and using E motors?

My thought is now, it might be a mod that is causing the problem but i really cant say for sure. You should see what happends when you accidently type in 1262 (snorkel) into the engine supercharge slot in the basic.cfg (super chargers are 1260 and 1261 - ive editd my basic.cfg far too many times to have the memorized

)

Mods aside, usually if a boat just sits there after giving the telepgraph an engine order, its a bug that is solveable by just a quick jolt to reverse, and then forward again.

But a boat just stitting there like a cork in the water is a new one on me.

just sits there...on the surface or submerged...did the quick reverse and forward routine also. Still won't move. will try the supercharger fix and let you know...CH

no joy on the supercharger deal...guess I'm just not destined to drive the type XXI...

Maybe try setting a waypoint on the navmap and see it starts?

bump...I really need help with this guy's...PLEASE...CH

Coolhand01 · 12-29-05, 01:42 PM

Anybody have any other ideas on this?

Ducimus · 12-29-05, 02:03 PM

My only guess is its a mod thats breaking it. If you dont have any active patrols you could try disabeling your mods assuming your using JSGME and try it again.

You did say that the crew bar was under half. Try to put just higher rank officers there and see if it helps?
