No Ahead Flank

atsfds · 06-08-07, 09:51 PM

I'm playing with the GWX mods and for some reason the when I order "Ahead Flank" the telegraph just drops to "Stop". I don't get it. It was working earlier in the patrol and we've not so much as seen another ship enroute to our patrol zone so there's no damage to the boat. Any thoughts?

Welcome to Subsim!

First of all is your GWX Version 1.03?

Ive never had this problem are you sure you installed correctly?

Are you using SH3commander with malfunctions enabled ?

I have the same experience with the malfunction option in SH3, but only in the Type XXi. In others it merely stops at a max speed slower than the normal full speed. One fix for this is to use the Knot meter directly, instead of the engine telegraph, that will allow you to reach full speed even if the sabotage thingy kicks in.

Just wait till your guns won't reload or you can't see through the periscope
