Can you run out of compressed air?

hi, I'm not so sure, I see it decreasing a little bit when I surface (hitting S) from PD or deeper, but probably it happens at 100% of realism.

Can you take a look at this again? If so we can analise it and make it really usefull in a tactical side.

Well it's weird, I post now some images here.

I was at 0 speed. I ordered 75 meters, sub went at that depth without using compressed air. At 75 meters I ordered Surface (S), sub went to surface without consuming air.. but only at surface, compressed air decreased a little bit as you can see in the 3th image. After a while it was recharged. It happened even at speed (5 kts), but once at surface the compressed air went down with minor extent. Compressed air doesn't change if I change my depth without going to surface.

1. At surface, 0 kts.

2. 75meters ordered, air doesn't change during descent.

3. Surface ordered. Only once at surface air diminished a little.

So, I don't know how to interpret it. Air should decrease as I hit S at depth. And air should decrease when I change my depth going up without surfacing, but it doesn't. So, is it a bug? is it an unfinished stuff? Is there a fix?

I think in real, this was normal. Emergency surface always expend more compressed air, but even when boat was surfaceing by the stantard way some of the compressed air was used, but I'll check this in my game. I'm not sure right now, because I use emergency surface more often than standard method.

yes, I'm agree, but what's strange is air needle turns after surfaced..

Hello !

If you are during surface ( Button "S") want to consume compressed air, then please hang the [Cmd202] in the file ....\SilentHunterIII \ data \ Cfg \ Commands_de.cfg (path for XP) that line the bottom of :

Key1=0x53,C,"S"

It looks like this:

[Cmd202]
Name=Emergency_surface
Ctxt=1
MnID=0x3F230003
Str=1034
Key0=0x45,C,"E"
Key1=0x53,C,"S"

Best regards,
Magic

Outdated

Hi, I also tried that test, never ran out..

I looked yesterday in some .dat files to find somewhat linked to compressed air, but I was not able to find anything.
