Engine problem

Subwolf · 11-08-06, 09:09 PM

I'm stuck in the middle of the Atlantic because my diesels won't run. I know about the astern bug and tried that too. The strange thing is that when I dive the electric engines works as normal, but as soon as I surface the crew jumps into the diesel engine room but nothing happens. I got plenty of fuel. Why are my diesels on strike, any ideas?

This is hopeless, anyone in AL35? i need a tugboat...

Guess I have to abort mission, of course I forgot to save

Are your diesels engine room manned to a high enough level? Are you playing with any mods that might be causing problems??

Sorry I can't give you a tow, my sub is elsewhere. Did you pay for roadside assistance before you left??

Are you in an XXI?

Subwolf · 11-08-06, 10:09 PM

No, a VII.

Well thanks bookworm, but i don't think anybody could explain that problem. Guess it's just my puter got a bad day. I'm sure (hope) the next patrol will run without problems.

Thta has never happened to me.

I ran out of fuel in one patrol....trouble is it was in base BEFORE LEAVING!!!

As soon as I ordered ahead slow I got "Sir, we have no diesel fuel!"....

Could be sabotage if you are using SH3Commander.

Good question really. Every now and then I have trouble getting the diesels going. It's like you have to kick start the crew. Anyway. I just move in the very best guys. Plus I have two machinest in there all the time. I keep asking for full ahead and eventually they start to move their dead arses and the motors go. It is a strange bug. I'm in the VIIb. I would have kept toying with it until they went online and moved the boat.

Try this; for what ever reason it works for me at times: set the telegraph for flank, then emergency back, then forward speed again. I don't knw why, but for some reason going back and forth like that kick-starts the engines into working.

AVGWarhawk · 11-09-06, 12:24 PM

Yeah, it's weird. I get this occassonally. I always get them going but sometimes it takes some dinkering with the controls. Sometimes it just takes moving a crew member or two. I have not had them completely quit unless I run out of fuel

a reason why a Diesel engine wouldnt run

In place of a Diesel engine, Bernard installed a Gasoline engine (you can guess what happens if u put diesel fuel in it)

Bernard: I did sir.
Kaluen:What did you fill it with?
Bernard: Well sir last night I drank alot of beer and...
Kaluen: Oh Damn...
