hydrophone and internal gauges stuck

SH3 Commander could have sabotage and malfuntion feature applied to your game. If that is not the case then I suggest you undo step-by-step the mods in the JSGME list. That's the only way to find out what makes the hypdropone fail.

[EDIT] Damn I should read posts better before I respond. Yes, this looks like the sabotage/malfunction feature and waveheight being 'stuck'. Make sure you roll-back SH3 Commander after shutting down the game. I suggest you enable the auto-roll-back feature, so SH3 Commander does that automatically. Also, starting the game from within SH3 Commander is better imho, rather than starting the game with the usual shortcut.

Thanks Pisces
I did do a roll back then unchecked the model failure
This did not help it.
only when I finished my Patrol then exited and started a new patrol did it get fixed.
however I then left it unchecked and Half way into my patrol they are stuck again
perhaps I'm abusing TC? I was flying through the northern sea to get to my destination disregarding contacts along the way.

If the fault is repeating itself I honestly wouldn't bother wasting a lot of time on trying to fix it because you probably have a corrupt file/installation now.

I'd reinstall the game.

Then you may want to look in the outside world and see if your boat is even partially submerged in the water. Or floating in mid air. if you crank up the vessel speed. And perhaps combined with high TC it might break the laws of physics.

Thanks again everyone!
I just docked at a supply ship and I know it will work when I start out again.. so this time I'll limit myself to a lower TC and be a little careful.

If that doesn't work, then, yes I'll probably re-install.

I noticed one more thing when the hydrophone and these gauges are stuck.. seems like all the sounds work except I no longer hear the destroy driving right above my head lol!

I had to use the outside view to see where he was.

If I do re-install, I may even try the GWX mod, I had downloaded it as well as LSH but never got a chance to try it but it sure seems like everyone is using GWX.

Well GWX is very popular but despite my involvement I believe I have a good track record of advising people to try all the super mods before making a decision on which one they prefer

IIRC, in order to manipulate the settings on the control room gauges with your mouse, you have to first access them by right-clicking on the icon for the appropriate officer or crewman in the lower left of your game screen.

The gauges visible from the standard F2 Control Room screen are eye candy only and you can't manipulate them. You can only look around the room with the free camera.

The only switch I remember being able to operate without right-clicking the person was turning the radar on and off after pressing the "R" shortcut key to jump to the radar room.
