View Full Version : Some questions of features I can't find
Playing SH5 for a while now, with many mods suggested in various sites. There are some things I'm wondering though. First one is simple: I've heard that there is a quick key to jump to the periscope (without you actually needing to walk to it). Is this true, and if yes, what is the shortcut?
Another one: Is there a shortcut for firing a torpedo? I spend a lot of time to calculate the TDC things correctly, and when I try to aim, the crosshair moves to the wrong place due to the waves.
Finally, looking at the "Multiple UIs for SH5" mod, I saw a "colored shipping chart" which apparently shows the routes the ships go. Where is this located?
Also, is there no radio in SH5? I used to listen to the news in SH4 constantly.

As far as I know in Multipe UIs Mod is beta version of teleporting via officer icon. I'm not sure if there are any key shorcuts.
Left Shift + Space fires selected torps is stock version (can be altered if You are using any mods that change keybiddings).
Colored Shipping Chart is one of the mods included in Multiple UI mod. Search in MODS folder in MultipleUI Mod, find ColoredShippingChart_by_reaper7 mod and install it with JSGME over main UI mod. Chart can be found in Navigation Map in right bottom corner of the screen, it's draggable.
Stock version haven't got any real radiostation (nor actually working radio buttons as well:damn:). Fortunatelly DarkWraith Multiple UI Mod fixes radio, but You must install radio mods to hear anything. There are several good mods like Grossdeutscher Rundfunk, Lynch Gramophone and others. Unfortunatelly as far as I know now we don't have any mod that provides radio news on the fly (something like that was in SH4 in TMO if I remember correctly.

With the multiple UI mod installed you can teleport inside the u-boat when crash-diving.:)

On the regular stock version of SH5 there is no teleporting feature
However on TheDarkWraiths NewUIs+TDC Mod (v3.92 is most recent I believe) click Y (again T on his mod.. I had to change the keys to suit my needs..) to bring up a teleport menu allowing you to go to the bridge, the sonar room, radio room, control tower control room, AA gun and Deck gun (there may be more just listing off the top of my head)
There is a shortcut key, but with TDW's UI mod on the officer shortcut bar you can launch as well. but as another poster has stated Shift+Enter will let you fire torpedos.
Finally the coloured chart is an addon mod located in TDWs New UIs Mod. When you go to the folder to extract his mod there will be a few other Mods (different speed chart, etc one will be the coloured Shipping Lanes Chart) In game go to the NavMap, in the bottom right corner it will be draggable so you can see it
