Here's what the game does: when the camera is not focused on the deck crew (of any unit) the game moves them some distance away from the unit. Once the camera moves into view of where they should be the game moves them back. This is done to 'clip' them - so they don't get rendered (thus slightly improving FPS). If you want to see this in action then go to external camera. Rotate the camera so you are not looking at watch crew. Quickly rotate back into view and mash the pause key. You'll see the crew hovering above the water (rotate camera around looking for them). Hit the pause key again and you'll see the game quickly moving them back to where they should be.

I am preparing to install Mods to SH5, following the excellent video tutorial by stoianm. I have found all the files upto and including FX Update 0.0.19. I have seen a post by DarkWraith suggesting that the latest BARF fix is included in the latest FX Update file as an optional MOD. However, I see no reference to BARF (whatever that is???) in the downloaded zip file. Is the BARF fix now embedded within FX Update? If not would someone point me in the direction of the BARF fix download? All the references I have found so far are no longer available (yes, I may well have missed a valid reference within the hundreds of posts to this thread).

May I take this opportunity to express my delight with the subsim forums. In particular, I must express my awe at the quality of the MODS by DarkWraith and the other contributers that I have observed in various videos. I am very new to SH5 and have found it very enjoyable (in spite if the mouse response in various contexts that is analogous to herding cats). However, I am confident that my interest would have been short lived without the helpful contributions of all you guys.
