I've been away from Silent Hunter III for so long now I've forgotten how to play it. :/\\!!

To make matters worse I've been playing Silent Hunter V a lot lately so my fingers are used to the Silent Hunter V keyboard (WASD for walking around) setup which is frustrating the hell out of me in SHIII. :/\\!!

My biggest problem with SHIII is the accidental firing of torps. This is how it happens. I click on the periscope view so I can turn the view with my mouse. But when I click again it fires torpedo number 1 (or whatever torpedo I had last selected).

I just want the view to lock and the mouse control back when I click the mouse 1 button. I don't want to fire a torpedo! I sunk a friendly by accident this way. My expression - :o and then - :doh: as it blew up. LOL!

How does one go about fixing this?

The periscope-click problem is the result of using a widescreen mod. Some possible solutions may be found here:
