Bug: Electric Compressor

[Scottie5]

Been a while since I played this. Didn't someone turn off the compressor once the compressed air reached 100%? Using the type IIA and the electric compressor and nobody shuts it off automatically.

Same here, especially when doing the dive and listen. Killing the Sub battery extremely quickly if not caught and time compressing.

Might be even better to have it turn off automatically without operator interaction like it did on the real thing

[Scottie5]

One other thing. Is the electric compressor supposed to eat up all the air on the boat or was that just the diesel compressor when submerged?

Scottie, ANY compressor will suck air out of the boat if it is submerged and doesn’t have a snort.

Yes, I have reported that in the game.

But it only happens when using dive & listen procedure after which it activates the compressor, but doesn't deactivate it. If you don't notice that, it will drain the battery on time compression quickly. And if you dive with the compressor still activated it will suck out all the air in the hull in no time too.

However when activating the compressor manually (not using dive & listen), it does switch off automatically.

I can't turn it off manually. When the crewman gets to the galley he turns around. I can't shut it off?

[Cannon Fodder]

use tab and select it from the list on the left

[Geeks On Hugs]

That's what wasn't working for me. But I kind of misspoke when I said I couldn't turn it off "manually". While I couldn't do with the Tab + select (the guys would turn around at the galley as if they couldn't get through or something) I could, however, take control of an officer in first person and walk to the compressor and turn it off "manually".

BTW, is there any reason to use the Diesel compressor? When on the surface it seems to make sense to use the electric compressor and save the fuel, no?

I just had something weird start happening, when I surface one of the first things I do is start the diesel compressor, and what has been happening is both the electric and the diesel compressors are turned on??? any ideas what is happening here? My entrance hatch also keeps opening on it's own, at first I thought this was to aid in recharging the interior air quality, but even after that has been accomplished it still happens???? It's a real pain on stormy nights when I travel surfaced :(

The crew keep your air topped up now. I think the option is there to turn this off if you prefer.

Hatches and the compressor can now be automated by the crew, here are the details.
