Default %$#@*^!@!!!!

Never the one to cuss but this really got me. Started over a new career and 1st patrol off the Indochina coast. I went up against the most vicious weather. Tsunami-like waves towering 20 feet! My officer kept saying depth 20 feet and my deck crew disappeared probably thinking we were going periscope depth. This is quite annoying and the boat in relation to wave movement is unrealistic. I tried Living Breathing Ocean but it contrasted with both ROW and Environmental Color. The ocean looked way too black so I enabled LBO first then the other two (hey, what do I have to lose?) No good. getting tossed all over the place at a speed of under 5 knots at a time. I even modified the files and it made my sub sink into the ocean while the tidal waves bury me. Can't get rid of that surfboarding sub either. Somebody kill me!

Bad day at sea sir? I'm wondering...do you have the rock and roll submarine mod by Dave? Also, the most I have seen for wind in kts is 15. I'm just wondering what you have installed from the ROW thread:hmm:. Other than that, here is a lifeperserver

Well 15 meters per second game wise is the same as "Beaufort Scale" #7 which is pretty heavy seas of 13 1/2 to 19 ft waves looks like this.......

Beaufort Scale link......http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaufort_scale

The sub should be tossed around.

Ok, when I'm using ROW pitch and roll mod for the sub I do not get the surfing sub. A little bit but not like it was in stock. Are you using the ROW pitch and roll mod?

Stock 1.4 and in a 15 m/s storm the sub is like a rock and roll star. :rotfl: I've never seen it surf on the waves like some tell it for stock 1.4, it's allways the bow dips and the stern comes up and vice versa.

Eddit: OPPS....Maybe your last post was not meant for me?
Sorry AVGWarhawk.

Sorry AVGWarhawk.
It was for Davyjones. No problem Just seems strange he is experiencing this. Angus might be on to something as LBO got a crap load of changes when incorporated in ROW. Might be a good idea to dump the LBO and current ROW files. Download fresh ROW files and wait on Krillers scene.dat file to be completed for ROW. The new scene.dat and two bugs that were repaired have done wonders

Btw, you mentioned LBO. It is included in Row. Might be a conflict there. Or just save you loading redundant files.

Yep, using Row Pitch and Roll mod. Somebody help! Damn waves stalling my sub! Talk about going nowhere fast! Think I'll take off LBO as mentioned above. The Row mod replaced some things from it. No kidding the waves are high enough to cover the whole boat.
