XXI and Balkan Geralt?

Kamikaze · 03-06-08, 11:20 PM

OK . . I may have the name wrong for the sensor type. But I just got the sub upgrade and accepted it. But on my first mission I noticed that my sonar no longer seemed to be working. Is this correct? The needle will not rotate . . . nor do I seem to get contacts. I had a great situation where I got a T3 tanker in front of me. I could see it at periscope, but with scope lowered it was not there.

I went back to a previous save . . . and when I select that sensor at the hardware screen . . . it is listed as an option. So I went ahead and selected it. Absolutely no difference. It still did not seem to work. Am I missing something? Confused . . .

Well first off, there's no Type XXI in the add-on, only the Type XVIII

Weird, I haven't got to the XVIII yet, but I sure had no problems with the Balkon Gerat on the IXD2 :hmm:

Do you have any special abilities enabled for the crew? Those sometimes mess things up a little. How about installed mods?

Funny . . it shows up as a XXI. Ohwell. I just installed the new TMO MOD and on a quick test my sub ID'd a contact. So in my situation I think I'm good since that is the dominate mod I use. Since you had asked the MODs I had running were :

RSRDC V310 for 1.5
ClassicBetterScopes and Nomograph for 1.5
Enabling the XXIII in Career Start (not in my test scenario though)
Schnorkel

Thats all. As to special abilities I had one guy with RADAR capability.

The snorkel mod by Xantrokoles and Stuffer has a mod that changes the XVIII into an XXI if you so choose.
It is actually two mods: Snorkel Beta 1, and Snorkel Beta 1 with Type XXI conversion.
There is also a known issue some people are having with hydrophones not working with this mod just as you describe.

what? the type XVIII never went to sea at all, it was never even completed, how can that be in the addon?!

Kamikaze · 03-07-08, 10:21 AM

The schnorkel mod may be causing the bug?

OK . . I'll try removing it. Simple enough. Thanks for pointing this out Zantham!

Some threads start getting SOOOO long I loose patientence in looking at every friggin page.

Cause it's a game

The XVIII was a lot more possible than a lot of the units one might see in IL-2 1946 though, for example.

Presume I copied all the files over correctly but still haven't figured out the schnorkel command as to how to activate it...maybe I'll try hittng a few random buttons
