Default Neutral Bouyancy Mod for GWX

As promised:

The neutral bouyancy mod for GWX can be DL'd here:
http://files.filefront.com/Neutral_B.../fileinfo.html

This mod removes the limited bouyancy for player subs that has been modelled in GWX.

This mod is in JGSME Format.

Note: This mod also removes the improved surface physics of the player U-boats in-game.

Use at your own risk.

This mod was created for GWX and may break other mod packages.

[Edit] Just so you guys know, this is an unofficial modlet for GWX and will not be a part of our future files. If I can find a way to remove the positive bouyancy without changing the surface physics of the player U-boats... only then will it become an "official" modlet.

Got it Kpt and thanks.

Will this be included in the Update? I guess to answer my own question.. no. That's why it's separate and to make it an option. LOL I can read minds afterall. LOL

Ack! I like the improved physics, so I'll stick with the pos boyancy. It makes you more diligent when attacking anyway.

same here... I like I have to watch my depth and play a bit with it... strategy 'waiting ahead of convoy at all stopped' is gone... improved physics rocks

It's not like it's a permanent removal, it's just an option as far as I'm concerned to help newbie/amateur submariners (like newbie me) get to grips with GWX. Eventually once I've got used to everything else within GWX I'll switch this mini-mod off. For now though it's hard enough staying alive without the sub bobbing out of the water every time I come to a stand still to try and work out where the heck that destroyer is!

To those people that say just bite the bullet and learn... well those people seem to have more free gaming time than I do, so the precious time I do have gaming I want to enjoy rather than being blasted out of the water every 5 minutes because my damn crew can't keep the conning tower below the waterline.

I do appreciate your hard work though Kpt Lehmann, thank you.

I agree with you Dan on this one. I love the U-Boat physics and I will not be using the mod. In any case it's all about what the public want I guess, so each can play GWX however he/she/it likes Thanks for giving us the option Kpt (I hope you don't mind if I stick to the stock GWX)
