Cannot Dive!! Crew is on Deck??

Snacko · 11-20-10, 04:13 PM

Ahhh yes, I am Captain Moron!

Maybe I forgot this from SH3/4. Did you have to go below deck in those sims?

I may have missed that DarkWaith. There was one message that I missed and that tutorial thingy will not let you go back. At least it didn't for me when I missed that one message. Does that back button not work all the time?

PS:
Thx Trevally, download now.. Cheers guys!!

I believe in the beginning of that tutorial I said I had disabled the command buttons. Later on in the tutorial I re-enable them.

Not in SH3, just did it to try lol.

Yeah, you didn't have to in SHIII. Makes sense to me, you dont see the captain going below and THEN shouting alarm! Just one more thing that bugs me about SH5.

Another example of where 'immersion' gets in the way of gameplay. It would have been nice to opt out of this mechanic.

By the way wasent it common for the Captain to be the last off the bridge?

Yes, the officer ordering the dive first ordered the lookouts below, and made sure he was the one who dogged the hatch behind him.

Of course if SH5 is anything like it's predecessors then the diesel engines don't shut down until the boat is underwater, when in reality shutting off the engines and engaging the electric motors was the very first thing that happened when a dive was ordered. But nobody ever complains about that one, except me of course.

they don't shut down until you are underwater. Then there is a brief pause before the electrics kick in and you get propulsion again.

Just like SH2, 3 and 4. Thanks for confirming that.

I'm working on an alternate solution to the back button (or changing it's behavior)
