Only two problems that need to be sorted out.

1. How can I make it not twirl so much once in the water?

2. When I start out in mid-air with it loaded on the Beaufighter (My test plane ) the plane starts to spin around in circles. But when I start on the ground and takeoff,
all is well. Any ideas?

It doesnt bounce high off the water at all. If fact, it looks like its actually ontop of the water. (I think it actually does travel ontop of the water.) Only thing is it twirls when its ontop of the water.

HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRICIATED! WE NEED A TORPEDO!!!!

Procedure for droping it:
Fly at about 40 feet at 200 mph level flight. Then drop. You have to get the timing down so you dont drop too close or too far away. If you drop it too far away, when it hits the ship it will be a dud cause it wasnt going fast enough. If you drop it too fast, it will sometimes pass by the ship and explode right behind it, or explode right before it reaches the ship. It takes practice (Like in real life) but I believe I have it down fairly well.

I'll send it to ya right now along with my keyboad and startup files.

Great work Argon!
The ships that I can say for sure that have a subsurface hull are

Exeter, Akizuki, Yamato, Scharnhorst, Cargo Ship, Troop Ship, Liberty Ship, Ark Royal, Damaged Carrier, Sen Toku sub, and the stock Sub.

The ones that don't can quickly and easily be updated though with a poly running the length of the ship below the surface.

Btw, where can we get all those ships?? There ought to be a naval pack release or something! I had no idea all those vessels had been made. Hmm.... Time for a Normandy terrain?

How do you keep it from detonating under the airplane and blowing yourself up? That was the big problem with the bouncing bomb.

FWIW, I had the same problem (the spinning) with the dam buster. If I had the "hidden" bouncing bomb parts outside (above) the plane, it went crazy. As long as I kept the invisible parts within the confines of the fuselage, it was fine. Don't know why it worked that way tho. Sounds like an airfoil activation problem...

Another possibility is the dreaded OPS pilot bug. If you're using the newest OPS, and save your plane, and also save the pilot at the same time (i.e. "save referenced files" is checked in the save dialog), the pilot figure will become corrupted, which may cause his parachute airfoil to activate. The airplane doesn't like this. Try copying in a known "good" pilot figure as a sub for the Beau pilot and see what happens.

Hmm... your solution sounds interesting. I'll have a go at it, thanks!

P.S. More torpedo news....

Ive learned that if you increase the stability of the torpedo while its going thru water, the range decreases some. If you decrease the stability, the range increases. (Some times by ALOT) Im trying to find an inbetween now.
