Diving Issue

Snake129 · 07-18-10, 02:46 AM

I am not sure if its because i am using the darkwraith mod, but hopefully someone can help me. Whenever i try to dive below 100meters by clicking, the boat will not stop diving once it gets to my specified depth, and just keeps going down. I hit the button (shift+v i believe) and try to click at a higher depth and it just keeps going down. Anyone have any ideas about what is causing this?

Thanks

No, it's an issue with the stock game.
Particularly noticeable in the VIIA I seem to remember.

There are a few mods that deal with this problem.

Ddrgns U-boat Historic Specifications springs to mind.

Increasing speed seems to help. For some reason the boat can't keep it's level and it seems that the speed needed is dependent on the speed you started diving with. For example, If I would dive with half speed it starts sinking when I reduce the throttle too much, but it stays level at half speed. But if I dive with full speed and reduce it to half speed I keep sinking.

Same issue here, pretty sure its not a mod but a stock bug (hasnt this bug been in every version? lol)

I will try the historical spec mod and report back, may be a few days though...

I tell you though, with TDW's AI mod this is a killer bug... You either die because your sub was crushed, or you end up having to surrender (cough, surface) in the middle of hell....

Geeez.. sergei already gave the answer and solution, why is so hard to read and understand? Is not a mod bug, is how the stock game work. Use the pointed out mod to fix it.
