no more 'crash dive blues'

See my topic 'now we have a real submarine simulation'. Still testing , but this approach seems to resolve the 'crash dive blues'.

1. Initiate a crash dive.
2. Interrupt it, and your boat sits tail down (the blues).
3. Initiate an upwards depth change with the 'set_depth' command.
4. Hit 'maintain depth' ('A' key) and your boat levels out beautifully.

Or there's a file you can modify so that your crash dive only takes you down to 20 meters (or whatever you set), then you can adjust your final depth manually after that. I forget the file name. I'm sure someone else could chime in and tell us.

The file is SHIII/data/Submarine/NSS_Uboat7b (which ever boat you like) /NSS_Uboat7b.CFG/ CrashDepth=50;meters or whatever you choose. Be sure to backup original.
