Priceless. Well written :yeah:

My periscope is always up!
My other "thingy" is always lowered!
Some years ago it was the other way around!!!!

PageUp and PageDown raise and lower the Attack Scope.
Insert and Delete (next to your Home and End keys on a regular keyboard), raise and lower the Observation Scope.

F3 for Attack Scope view and O key for Observation Scope view.

...and yes, I've pressed the wrong raise/lower buttons on more than one occasion, LOL.:oops:

Yep....I was being a dumb arse....raised the attack but "looking" through the obs. :88)

Glad you got it sorted out. Welcome to a clandestine club of subsimmers who have embarassed themselves on more than one occasion.

We're also the club that, in the excitement of battle, occasionally fire the wrong torpedoe tubes (i.e. aft instead of forward). Ooops, did I say that out loud! Scratch that, noone here has EVER done THAT!!!!!:D LMAO.

Forward instead of aft last night in my case.

And how many of us have raised the observation periscope and forgotten to lower it?

May I add the club of those who forget that the "E" key in TMO and RFB have completely different uses. Suddenly blowing ballast 800 yards to the port of an escorted convoy is bad... Really REALLY bad.

Hey it's not that bad, it's a sim after all. Just imagine if you had been the real captain of a sub, and had done that infront of your crew, even threatening to court martial someone for the scope not working :har:
