dive deeper then the gauge allows

[fastfed]

Running TMO and RSRD only.

600 is the deepest the gauge will allow, the D key only takes me to 300, if I try to go past that and hit D again it goes back to 300.

You could use 1.5_Optical Targeting Correction 031312 for RSRDCv502......it will allow a sub to dive to its death, if that's what you want. The subs (as expected, each class being different in depth tolerance) will dive to what ever depth your nerve will allow. Just keep in mind there is a point of no return......no matter what you try, the depth will not allow a stabilization of the subs decent. Your beyond the point of returning to a safe depth.....just waiting for the implosion.

How deep will you be able to go before this occurs? You may be surprised what they will take, but I'll not tell you!!

Or, to manually do it without OTC.

Open each subs .cfg folder found in the Data\Submarine\NSS_SubName\ folder with Windows Note Pad. Here's the S-18's:

"Save" your text changes before exiting. Do it to all subs, and your ready to dive beyond limitations.

there is an unlimited depth mod somewhere, but dont use it. If I screw up, then I should be 'exterminated'

[Captain Jeff]

I'm running RFB so I'm not sure if TMO is the same. When I use the dive command the sub will only go as deep as the test depth. In order to get below the test depth I have to click on the depth gauge. Once the dive depth is set the sub will go lower than its test depth.

I have always set depth manually, dive then move needle

[fireftr18]

I don't use the "d" key for diving. I either crash dive or set the depth with the depth guage on the user controls.
I don't know about RFB, TMO has a depth guage at the helmsman station in the conning tower that goes to 600 feet. You can click on that to get that deep.
When you do get too deep (without crushing), it's difficult to maintain the depth.
