This is silly...I can't get the hydrophone to work for me. If I right click on the station, it simply toggles between the handler and the 'Direction Finder' but if I left click on either, Nothing!! I can't get the Direction to change at all. I've tried everything I can possibly do with the limited controls and I've got to say I'm beat.
Does anyone know what I'm doin' wrong?

Two; If anyone knows a mod to give the periscope a couple of directional keys I'd love it, this is probably my biggest complaint about the game, I hate using the mouse to work the scope. It feels terrible, as I'm looking left or right the scope view is going up & down and all over... I just want two directional keys like SH3 & SH4.
Thanks :salute:

The mouse wheel to change the hydrophone direction .
Ok, in the game options untick the no stabilize view
(you can only change this while in the bunker)

Thanks Sober for the mouse wheel, I never tried that.
As for as the stabilize view, I'm not having a problem with the stability of the Periscope, binocs ect. What I'm missing is using the arrow keys to work the periscope right and left. I can't stand using the mouse to work the periscope. In SH3 and 4, you worked the scope right and left with the arrow keys (which are now being used for speed and steering) but why couldn't we use the A & D keys for turning the scope right and left? When I use the mouse, it's nearly impossible to drag the scope left or right without the view going up or down as well. It's not smooth and it ruins the effect of turning the scope with the "handles". This goes for the TBT as well. I also loved the little clicking that SH4 had on the scope but that's not a big thing. I guess I'm asking for a mod that adds directional keys on the keyboard.
Thanks for your help, everything else is really very good. The ENV mods are working great and the studdering and lagging are gone.
PS: I don't suppose the mouse wheel works on the periscope.....Nahhhh....

I, too, wouild dearly love a set of keys which would move the periscope right or left without having to resort to the mouse for the same reasons enumerated by Dogfish40.

I am using Church's great keyboard now but, perhaps, TDW might be able to help us out here when New UI 7.0.0 comes out.

Control hydrophone direction with Home/End I think?

This is what I'm talkin' about!! Now I can really screww this thing up good :O:
If this is as easy as it looks, I can reroute the periscope command from the mouse back to the keyboard.
Quink99, check this out!!
Commander Mysenses, You threw us the perfect bone to chew, now I think I'll be playing the perfect game. I've only a couple more small changes but once the Periscope and UZO are fixed I'm going to be a very happy Kaleun.
Many Thanks
