Gun Decks Locking

[SeamanStaines]

I have a problem with gun decks locking on one side and unresponsive to clearing with the "F" keys. Strangely this only occurs with the guns elevated not at close range. Clearing the registry as per the rudder problem did not help. Suggestions please?

I think this is a know issue..........

 

But also

Guns will Lock if you are taking on alot of water.....Deck flooded and can not fire...usually happens on largers ships and the lower decks first.

[SeamanStaines]

It happens right from the start. If anyone has a solution I would be happy to hear it.

If you go into aiming mode and elevate your guns all the way down, do the x's go away?  From my experience this happens when mixing gun types, longs and regulars, or those types with carronades.  Also happens on rough seas.

Mr. Staines, pay heed to Prater's advice. This problem most often occurs when you have a mixed set of guns on a ship with more than one deck.

Please let us know if you've checked the Constructor and you have all decks equipped with the same type of gun (e.g. all Long, all regular, or all carronade).

[SeamanStaines]

Gentlemen. Many thanks you have solved the problem. I found that I had a rogue deck of longs on one side of the vessel.

Damn long guns, thinking they can just board our ships and steal the jobs of honest hard working cannonades.
