Default Hmm, thats odd.

well, I was playing around in the museum, looking at all the cool stuff in GWX 2.1, and I got to the German U-Boats, and something happened that honestly made laugh. The IIB, and one of the VIIC's blow up and sink when you view them.:rotfl::rotfl: I got a kick out of that, and I kept going back to watch them blow up and skin several times. But I have to ask abou this, was this an easter egg, or did something break?:rotfl::rotfl:

I must have a "defective" copy of GWX because I've never seen that happen.

Your IIB should be running on the surface.
Same with one of the VIIC's.
If not?
Guess what?
You have a defective install of 2.1

Mods that change the .Val files cause that.
Mods like Waterstream or Exhaust smoke!
Everything that changes the default GWX .val files makes the Sub sink in Museum.

The museum curator will not have a nice day today!

You just wrecked his star exhibits!

Just get the hell out of there before the cops show up!

Very good guess.

But wrong.

It's the sim files that determine this.

The val only handles damage textures and wake kind of stuff.

I feel so cheap!

:rotfl:

Thanx! I was close!
I tested it way back, since i saw the first sub sink in the Museum!
And the thing they all had in common was the .val dats...among others


Cheers and thanx for the info!

I didn't see a sinking sub, but I did see the two VIIC subs in the museum, but both were submerged and one was doing this:



The second VIIC was fine, skinned and with the eagle conning tower from nautilus. I do have Rubini's water stream mod enabled. Here's a list of my enabled mods:



Any ideas what could be causing this?

As an update, turning off rubini's water stream mod made the first VIIC appear on the surface in museum, but it was sinking, bits of cargo being left in the water.
