Default Dive Planes dont work anymore.

To Anyone who might suggest something:

I am trying to figure out what I did. The Front dive planes do not move down anymore. They used to move to the down position when I went underwater. Was that some mod that I may have removed? I can go as deep or as shallow as I want and they stay in the upright position. Maybe I am doing something wrong or I clicked something that stopped it from working. Not a big deal I just remember how cool it was when I dove to watch the planes come down as it decended.

Thanks,
IRISH4life

Sometimes they bug out like that, but still work normally. Try saving and reloading...Did you get any damage to them? Sometimes if they get damaged bad they'll also do that, even though you can still dive.

If you saved the game while submerged, that is what happens, only save on the surface mate.

I think it also happens when the planes are opening or closing and you go into high TC.

Old bug left over from SH 4 stock game, it has always been annoying.

One cause is if you use the crash dive key often, eventually the planes quit rigging out into proper position when you dive.Which in stock had to crash dive often due to constant air contacts.

Another cause is saving underwater as mentioned in another post.Noticed it rarely happens if you stay away from the crash dive key and do not save underwater.

Default Thanks

YEP. All those things fixed it. Just like you said they work again. I thought it might be some mod I installed took that cool part away.

Thanks Again.
