New guy. Just Downloaded my first SUBSIM game - Cold Waters.

Just getting started. I note a couple of the Keys map to a different key than in the Guide. ( Periscope UP/DOWN to 0 rather than 9 is one example.)

The major problem I have is that I can't bring up the Help Guide. Shift-F1 toggles my sound Off/On. I absolutely need Help!

Here's a link to the full PDF manual:

Also if you go into the Options you can re-map the key to help, perhaps change it to "Shift H".

Mapping Help to Shift-H in Options worked just fine ans is intuitive.

Sea Story. When I Started the Game today it came up that I was on board USS TREPANG (SSN-674). "Wrong" CO, however, because I was the Weapons Officer and also Sonar Officer on TREPANG in that time frame under CDR Dean Sackett. (I was better at TMA in those days than now.)

I'll be watching for USS PARGO (SSN-650) and USS BERGALL (SSN-667), as I served on each of those boats also. (The Other two boats were Diesel Boats.)

EDIT: Bergall came up. I caused her to be lost.

EDIT2: Pargo also came up. I didn't lose her.

Thanks again for the help.

Make sure your FN keys are in F-key mode (blue button)? Just a long shot.

GravityWave,

Thank you! Turns out my new Dell Laptop has a key "Fn." Holding it and hitting the F key does the job.

Still learning.

As I progress thru the training, I am being exposed to more and more weapons. Is there ONE location for me to read about their ranges, strengths, and short-comings?

Certainly I can Google them.
