If you mean it can not keep the set depth, it is an annoying behavior. Try this out: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...92&postcount=1

It´s just like a new boot.

Both those links are dead, uekel. But I already had that mod in my archive. I installed and it does seem to help! Thanks for the knowledge sir!

Ahoy Akula,

Just curious -
You say '... when I removed the MineField Map for IO_StrategicMap_for_CSPMagui mod the mission selection issue was resolved.'
Were you running the 'CSPMagui' at the time you experienced this?
Just asking because I see in your list that you're now running the UI-boat mod.

I don't know if I'm wiser than you but I have some suggestions for the load order, one alternative mod plus a few questions for Trevally.
Trevally please see my questions below marked with *

Trevally can you please confirm my questions?

@ Silent Steel

Please do not post link to SubFlags 0 0 9 by TheDarkWraith.
TheDarkWraith has not approved the changes I made to his Flag MOD yet.
I PM'd him a couple weeks ago about those changes but I think he is very busy with his GR2 Exporter MOD that he has been developing.

Also, I have a more up to date version of the Flag MOD that adds the Missing Splash FX for the Type-VIIC Conning Tower 2.
I think that the Type-VIIB Conning Tower 2 and 3 are also missing these FX as well. I will be checking on this soon.

Aye Sir,

Sorry about that, thanks
Replaced it with 0.0.8

What you tell about a more up to date version of the Flag mod sounds interesting.
Do you mean you're working on it or is it released?

I am currently working on these files (when time permits) to add missing splash efects on some of the Conning Towers.

I originally started working on these files because I was trying to get cfg#snk node for Snorkel mount and these files appeared to be best (easiest) files to add these nodes but I found out that the game engine loads these files after it attempt to load the snorkel so it didnt work for that purpose.
During the that process I decided to update the Flag 3D Models and Mesh Animations by Privateer/Ducimus for much better looking Sub flag animations. This is done.

Regards!

Can't wait, please let me know when you release this one.

BTW - last night I loaded the CSPMagui by dr Jones and was surprised - the snorkel works.

Cheers

At one time I was using the CSPMagui mod - I think I left the minefield map mod in by accident. Removing it allowed me to select a mission in the bunker, where previously no mission was selectable - they were there... you just could not select it.

I would love to know these answers myself. Am I causing conflicts with these mods?

I am curious what the sub flags mod will do for me... other than add a flag? Will this mod affect the bouncing depth issue?

Thanks so much for the insight and knowledge, Silent Steel! I owe ya sir!

Also a big shout out to The Beast! I removed the \data\Submarine\NSS_Uboat* SIM files from the Real Environment Revision 3 as The Beast had suggested... and my buoyancy has returned! From initial testing (late last night) the bouncing depth issue "appears" to be resolved. Many thanks, Beast!!

As always I continue to be impressed with the helpfulness and willing attitude in this forum. I can honestly NOT remember a game forum which had this strong a helpful atmosphere and crew! My thanks and kudos to all!

Yes, but the Snorkel I released in Equipment Upgrade fixes v1.4 is very lame.
I have updated that Model adding Dmg/Col model to Snorkel with Plumbing Pipe and Brace attached to Conning Tower.
I will be releasing Equipment Upgrade fixes v1.4 Patch 1 soon.

Hope Trevally. doesn't mind us hijacking his thread.

Please place any further comment about this to the Equipment Upgrade fixes thread.

Thanks!

Hi SilentSteel

Yes -
Cerberus62 Additional Merchant Ships 1.1 (Part 1)
Cerberus62 Additional Merchant Ships 1.1 (Part 2)

These mods are within OHII so you do not need them.

Cerberus62 Historical Ship Equipment 1.3
This one is not - so you can install if you wish

Radio_Messages_1_2_0_UI_Boat_v4_14

* OH II Campaign Radio Messages v4 - Do you know if this one conflicts with the 'Radio_Messages_1_2_0_UI_Boat_v4_14' above?

This is ok to overwrite.
It will only share some folders and not overwrite anyfiles

* Enhanced FunelSmoke1.2_by HanSolo78 - This feature is included in 'Open Horizons'

No - this is not in OHII

The sound controlling file within OHII is from:-
Stormfly's DBSM (all of them)
- you can check Stormfly's thread to see what other sounds mods may be included.

Rongels - lifeboat mod uses OHII sound file so it will be installed after OHII

Hi Mobucks

I'm not quite sure if this is the answer to your question but I've read somewhere that these can conflict in such a way that they can cause CTDs.
