Default Commando Insertion Whaaaa?

Well,...I'm here!!! I'm supposed to be launching Commandos but I've run all over this icon and nothing!! Now I've stopped engines and the boat will not respond.
We cannot move.
What am I supposed to do to get this thing rolling again
In SH4 I get some kind of icon prompting me to launch lifeboats.
Please throw me a bone.
Thanks
D40
PS: This is Narvik, Aprl 28th 40

All you have to do is wait until the insertion is done it may take a few game hours or a few game days.

Good luck

Default The Fix. All is well

It was a glitch. For anyone in the future who may run into this problem, I had to drop off some commandos near Narvik, Norway. It took a lot of time and "white knuckles" (for a sim anyway) to go up in there with very few places to dive the boat if we get caught. I finally get to the drop off mark on the map and nothing happened. So, being an old player of SH4 I stopped engines. Nothing. SO I looked everywhere for a command to launch, nothing. To make things more interesting, the boat would not respond to commands at all. The crew would repeat the order "Ahead Slow or 1/3 or reverse",...no responce. Finally I saved the game and wrote in here to subsim. I booted up the game again and lo and behold, there's the prompt in the middle of the screen to launch the raft.
It Was A Glitch!!
So, if anyone experiences this in the future, I recommend saving and rebooting the game. For some reason the game hung up.
All is well again.
Thanks
