Depth to Ocean Floor?
I'm an SH3 noob, but I really enjoyed SH2 back in the day. I've noticed that there's no ocean floor indicator on the map or the depth gauge the way there was in SH2. Am I missing something? Is there a way to find how deep I can dive without hitting the floor? (Do I need to find an IRL map, and if so, does SH3 correspond to real life depths?)
Another curiosity: On the realisim setting page, the final checkbox on the right hand side has no text explaining what it does. Is this a bug or is this some sort of spoiler prevention? (I think I'm running 1.4) Thanks. |

Welcome aboard!
You can always ask your navigation officer to give you a reading from the fathomometer. I forget the shortcut command. Or ping it yourself from the control room.  That'll give you the depth easy.

Welcome aboard,
I do not know about the realism settings page, but about hitting the ocean floor; go to the Navigator and choose 'Depth Under Keel'. That will come in handy. oops, Torplexed beat me to it. That's what happens when you forget to hug your submarine. |

I think the poor Seaview got hugged or mugged in about every other episode of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

Welcome aboard jimmyv
 The depths in SH3 bare no resemblence to the real world...they tend to change in increments to an eventual maximum of 'over 1000 metres'.
