It's an entirely new outlook !

:D
I used something called Setkey (q.v. Mods/Downloads) to change the function key "F3" assignment to an external view in the conning tower. That's neat !
I never cared for bumping right into the lens. It's so much more engrossing to move about in the conning tower. :smug:
...it's the little things that mean a lot... :roll:

Good point, Reverie!

I really dig the interior of the tower, too -- I reckon mouse-clicking my way in through the hatch is just as convenient. Still, during an attack run, I need to jump into the torpedo-control window & back again, repeatedly. I know there's a way to use the TDC panel in the conning tower, but it's a little too small for precision, IMO.

Tschuss!

I just tried it - wtf, there really is a modelled conning tower interiour and the game doesn't use it?! Fubar.

[joegrundman]

it is used, just not very conveniently. you can mouse click on the access to the conning tower from the command station and it will take you there

[Kaleun Cook]

Yeah, that's what I ment by "I just tried it". Well, but if you click on it you just sit in there. The periscope doesn't rise etc. Again: Fubar. :arrgh!:

You can however open all torpedo doors there (at least in GWX).
I use it to fire 2 torps with different settings ie 1 mag and 1 impact

[Reverie]

looney, I'm not in the sim at this moment, but can't we operate the entire TDC from that same screen ? I remember setting for spread pattern, once.

[looney]

yups. little bit difficult cause the view is roling but you can set the tdc

[Reverie]

Schöneboom, what luck have you had working the TDC from Zentrale ? Is it convenient, or more hassle than it's worth ? :up: :down:

Hi Reverie,

I don't use the "miniature" TDC controls in the Zentrale or the tower, actually. But if I had a much bigger monitor, maybe...

Mach's gut!
