Fings aint wot they used to be, is it?

Hello folks, been away from SH5 and the forum for quite a while, preferring to paddle around in SH3, but tonight ( after watching 'Sink the Bismark!' on the tele) decided to come back to the forum to see how things are and if SH5 has ironed out some of the kinks it began with.

Nice to see that there are not a lot of complaints on the board, so I guess things have improved with the game, and when it booted up I saw it got patched - and I expect that you have some really ace mods available now - though Dark Wraith's does it for me with the old style dials.

Wonder if someone can remind me how to manually listen to Sonar in SH5. Just cannot recall what I press to move the wheel and listen for myself.

I haven't tried going up top again via that beastly ladder yet, but I see there is a teleport option now, which is really handy. I don't recall seeing THAT before.

Hopefully I will be able to ease myself into the ambience of the game once more - cruising around the North Sea at present. Anyway, nice to speak to you again :)

you can mouve the sonar if you put your mouse on it and you use the mousewheel... also you can do that by pressing ,,home,, and ,,end'' keys

regards and wlk back:up:

thank you Stoianm - exactly what I needed to know :)

you might be able to edit the commands.cfg fle to access this.

welcome back also. I myself just came back last night as matter of fact after pre-ordering the game. Back then i was one of the first to test out darks ui's and man i loved em. Now i come back and they have gone from what i have (2.1) to like (6.5) lol...

Got to love the automation thing, man i love how i can see in game now how to do some manual tdc stuff.

was wandering tho dark can i acess the radio with your UI, i see you said something about not doing it on stock
