Attack Scope to Conning Tower key?

[kylania]

I read in the community wiki that if you press Keypad0 it'll "step back" from the attack scope to look at the scope in the 3D conning tower view. This would be great, since I use the conning tower to pre-open my torpedo tubes often, but have to go to the main cabin, find the ladder, climb up it and than open them.

However I'm using GW and Keypad0 doesn't seem to do anything at all. With NumLock off it raises the Observation 'scope (INS) but with NumLock on nothing happens.

Does anyone know how to restore that key or know what key is bound to Enter Conning Tower 3D view please? Thanks!

Kylania,

That drove me nuts too. I think one of the best views in the boat is the "looking at the periscope but not through it" view, as you can turn your head left and right and get your heading, speed, and torpedo status without using the fake looking HUD.

So, what I did was go into Commands_en.cfg and followed the instructions for how to change a key - I set that view to be F3, and made the through the periscope Ctrl F3 - it doesn't fix the bugged "go back by hitting 0 or right clicking" portion of the periscope, but when you want to step back from the scope, just hit f3, and to look back, just click on the scope.

That's how I did it anyway, maybe there is a better way. . .

In NYGM it works just fine, when you're in Attack 'Scope view you hit 0 and it drops you back and you can look at your periscope, which I found out has the torpedo controls right on the stalk!! YAY!

So I'll take a look at the commands.cfg you were talking about tonite and see if I can't get that working again. Thanks for the response!
