open more tubes at the same time

Perseus1990 · 09-10-17, 10:04 AM

Hello

Operation monsun + omegu v300
i would like to ask: How can i open more torpedo tubes at the same time? I tried click on the switches (didn't work), salvo firing (didn't work). When i open one and i switch to the second the first is closing automatically.
Thanks

That's just not the way they work. There is a maximum time they will stay open before they automatically close but that's measured in tens of minutes. I suggest that you have mod soup and need to consider a complete game reinstallation.

OK, Perseus1990... I've been through my OM again, and tried in several missions and a couple of career starts, using the Type VIIB. All function as intended, and the tubes stay open while cycling or clicking to others. What boat are you using, and which version of OM do you have? I've got

OM v705
OM v720
OM v720 Patch 5
OMEGU v300
OMEGU v300 Patch 7

for my Mod List in JSGME...

Try using the "W" key to cycle the tubes, and the "Q" key to open / close them. When you cycle back to Tube 1 and hit the "Q" key the 2nd time for the tube, you should get a message "Closing Tube 1". If you then press the "Q" key a 3rd time, it should say "Opening Tube 1".

Hi

I have the same mods as you have. If i understand you correctly: choose the tube and press the Q key 3 times and the tube should stay open.

No, that was just an example that you can cycle through the tubes, and they stay open, and to prove it, hitting "Q" while on Tube 1 a 2nd time will close it. If they are not staying open when you cycle to the next tube, there is possibly something wrong with your install, or you are using a different boat than I am. Are you in a Type II? I've never used one of those, and have no idea what you would encounter with one of them...

If you do suspect you have issues, where did you install the game (what directory or folder name), and which version of Windows are you using? Were you using other mods before putting OM in?
