So what can I do to stop this crash dive happening again?

One other thing, when I went to external view, that was all screwy as well from the water's surface up!

Hi, did you take a screenshot of the external view ?

Sadly no!

I wish I had now! It could have helped a lot.

leeclose · 03-03-07, 06:14 PM

Yup could have helped oh well.

Yep that could indeed be the fix

Nice one

Forgot about that

leeclose · 03-03-07, 06:23 PM

Yup that looks like that could sort it.

Penelope_Grey · 03-04-07, 06:29 AM

I've not done it, but reading the thread, if you find it happening again open these files that are in SilentHunterIII/data/Campaigns/Campaign folder,

Campaign_LND.mis
Campaign_RND.mis
Campaign_SCR.mis

and change the line in the top section of settings which is marked [Mission]
that has WindSpeed=0 (which is hopefully what is causing the problem) to something else, ie WindSpeed=1.000000

Here we are 2 years down the line and were still tweaking the hell outa 3 and 4 gets released in 2 weeks man i think ubi should have focused on either another patch or a patch and a official add on for 3. Becouse there is a whole bunch of things i would love to see implemented in 3 oh well wishfull thinking:hmm:

Penelope_Grey · 03-04-07, 01:38 PM

Ok thanks for that guys, I was beginning to think nobody knew what to do or something! Because I didnt know what to do either. I still ain't 100% sure too.

Thats half the fun Grey SWAG aka Scientific Wild Arse Guess

gets me thru the day.

Just had the EXACT same thing happen with me. I just jumped a task force (using GWX mod) and sank a Fiji and Illustrious class carrier... got to my patrol grid and saved game (on surface). And I use SH3 commander and SH3 weather.

Re-load game, and dive of death. Blowing ballast does nothing.... hope that fix works as this was a GREAT first patrol with GWX....DAMN!

fredbass · 03-11-07, 09:50 AM

So if I understand correctly, the latest version of SH3weather has this problem fixed already, does it not? ,because this problem/fix was posted b4 the latest release.

Faamecanic · 03-11-07, 10:53 AM

I hope so.... the fix in the linked thread fixed my problem. I still need to DL the new SH3weather....
