Dive Planes On Balao busted

[skirich]

I have noticed that somewhere between the last two patrols the dive planes on my Balao sub do not move when I submerge. They stay folded.


Is there a setting I can check to make sure they are operational?

If a Save of the game, then exiting, restarting the game, and reloading the Save "fixes" it, then quit "shelling out" to Windows from the game. Even an accidental shelling out to the desktop will cause graphic & sound anomalies. Windows "multi-tasks" and will re-assign resources that the "single-task" game expects to be in a certain location. You shell out to Windows, and the game will "move" the games resources. When the game can't find where Windows put them, it will sometimes even roll over and die...

Thats not it, save/reload didnt help and I did not shell out this entire patrol.



If you set the compatibility to windows vista or less then the product doesnt have 'shell-out' issues as windows 10 operating system expects this kind or program to point to direct I/O. (which is why the shell out affects it)



I engineer code, in case you wonder how I know.

what you sent was not what we need. this is what we need:



then do a Ctrl+v into one of the subsim messages here and you (we) will see the text of the mods you are using.

Thats exactly what I sent.

The 3000 yd bearing tool is a memory eater. This being an old 32-bit program, it (through Windows) can only address a limited amount of memory. If your Windows OS is 64-bit, then read CapnScurvy's "Windows10; Large Address Aware; SH4 Install", specifically for the Large Adress Aware part. That little gem will flip some bits in the SH4.exe file that shows Windows that the program can address more than 2gig of RAM. It might be that the issue is you are running out of room for all of the graphics. The dive planes seem to be a low-priority display item. You could also use the "NTCore 4gig Utility" for that, or any of the ones found in the SubSim downloads section. The "Better Rocks" and the "Smaller Seabed Rocks" are just dds files, and might both write to the same file, so pick one or the other. You might put the Bigger Better Protractors last in you list, though I don't think anything listed after conflicts... - if the LAA doesn't help, you might also try backing out the Pacific Sound Mod temporarily ("sounds" crazy, eh??), and see if that helps.
