For anyone wondering , not only you need to choose BETA , you also need to disabled automatic engine and such in the lobby to get everything u see in this video
One thing when starting up your diesels, DON'T couple the shaft to the engine, it will cause you to start up with a lot of drag, I advice you to first start your engine up, once they are all nice and warmed up, couple them which reduces the drag when you start up, and first push the starting lever to start, then add the starter air, as it will reduce the amount of compressed air used. Plus another tip, the supercharger is only used when you want to go maximum speed, hope this helps!
Now this is the stuff i love, just bought the game. Dont even care if the boat drives itself right into a mine, i just want to run the engines and motors. Eventually ill probably try the rest.
@jammroberts i have figured out how to start and fly every plane on the xplane sim. No instructions or googling. Just reading every switch and trying things until i get it to work. The navigation though i have not solved. I believe i may need google or a help menu for that.
I'm stunned at the level of detail this game is going for. I've owned the game since 2019, only playing it a tiny bit back then. Great tutorials, thanks
@@Hipporider Me too however the devs have become very lazy as of the past couple of years and cannot fix small but gamebreaking bugs that've kind of ruined my perspective on the game
Very nice study sim. I realise this is primarily coop but I really hope and pray the devs one day implement an AI crew of some form (better than the the current bots) that will allow the player to choose a 'role' such as engineer and receive orders from an AI 'captain'. I can dream haha...
That would be pretty cool yeah, I highly doubt the developers would actually do that but I do see your point there, the bots on the beta seem a lot better than what they used to be, I tend to spend most my time with actual players though as the atmosphere it provides is like nothing else!
I thought that the germans built an automatic valve into their exhaust which closed down as soon as the air intakes and exhaust hit the water. They had to have something like that even if surfaced theres no guarantee that a bigger wave wont sweep through the deck flooding the engine.
I have about 15 hours of play time according to steam. I have mastered the engines, electrics, dive controls, pretty much everything except navigation and radio. I am just playing solo so none of that matters. Im thinking about joining a multiplayer game sometime. I could easily take controls of whatever part would be needed.
So I think it's an error in translation but the tuning isn't done with oil per say but with fuel oil, the very fuel the engine is burning. What you're trying to tune is the stoichiometric ratio that gives off the blue flame 🔥 There is no "oil warming up", you can however cool the engine by flooding it with fuel in excess, meaning you will have unburnt fuel that will have taken heat from the engine without releasing it via combustion, hence cooling the cylinders
I'm no engineer 🤣so I have not read too much into the theory behind these diesel engines, I have just picked up what I've learned from trials, testing and what works. You're right you can cool the engine with flooding it however you run into an issue when it comes to heating them back up again as when you lower the oil valve you can superheat the engine if you're not careful causing that cylinder to fail
@@jammroberts no worries, thanks for making the video, I haven't kept up with wolfpack in a while and they allowed me to see the progression of the game!
You don't tune the stoichiometric ratio, you tune the air fuel ratio to achieve stoichiometry. Kids these days don't even watch enough youtube to understand the engineering terms they're trying to mansplain.
@@jankington216Never claimed to be an engineer, I'm not teaching people how to run an actual diesel engine on an actual UBOAT. I am teaching people how to run the diesel engines in a game, big difference.

Exactly the mindset I had too, mastered the engines and then learned everything else after that

Nice video! Hope you do some more like this on wolfpack :)
Thank you! I'll be doing a lot more with this on Wolfpack, loving the game at the minute

why do you have the workable engine room what version are you running???
Liked, subscribed, and commented!
You legend!
What a great video!

@@jammroberts I was replying to xeels2708, I didn't mean to include you in that. Their advice just seemed a bit off, buzzwords thrown together
si i just got wolfpack, but it dont look the same. (labels on e engiens, and others) what version is this or is it moded?
Right click on Wolfpack in Steam, go to properties, betas then click the beta mode
How can i Play this Version?
To play this version you need to right click on wolfpack on steam, go to Properties, Betas and then select the beta. Hope this helps!
@@jammrobertsah nice thank you!!
Ibtried the beta but it is not the same
Did you go to Library > Wolfpack > Properties > Beta and then select Beta - Beta ?
@@jammroberts pretty sure he did because i did the same thing and NOTHING in my engine room is interactable
Why i don't have engeneer profesion? I have the newest version.
Right click on Wolfpack in Steam, go to properties, betas then click the beta mode
