Unreal buoyancy for GWX3?

[prowler3]

I realize that the boat slowly sinking when at Silent Running speed is a "Reality" thing...but, for now, is there a way to have my boat maintain depth?

[Fifi]

IMHO in real life at silent running speed, submarine shouldn’t slowly sink. Only when all stopped...but don’t know GWX that much.

[prowler3]

I seem to remember a mod to make the boat maintain depth even at 0 knots?
It's been so long I can't remember...also why I would like to stop this "sinking" behavior until I get back into proper form.


Anybody?

It happens in silent running in GWX3, I think it mods that fact of the main pump is turn off and do to the slow speed, the boat starts to sink slowly.

I notice this at deeps below 150m, don't know if happens above that.



@prowler3 I think was something like "humming bird" mod.

I don't recall a mod that did it as much as it exists in the game's stock form.
You could simply swap the sub files if desired (recommended via a JSGME mod structure). You wouldn't need the complete sub file but I don't know which particular file was changed to simulate the slow sinking.

Or keep it easy and just maintain at least two knots when submerged.

Of what i remember, GWX doesn’t have the negative buoyancy. So sub should be always steady.

Me too; at one time it had positive bouyancy but that changed between 2.1 and 3.0 I believe.

I just completed a single mission in GWX Gold (3.0) and the sub definitely was sinking when below 2 knots.
