Hi Guys

Been playing Dangerous Waters for months, but doesn't run on my new widescreen - so I finally decided to invest in something newer and got the SH4 Gold Version.

Main problem is that the Gold version ships without any printed documentation, and the PDF on disk is rather superficial. Right now I'm having basic problems with the interface, did a search, but if someone wants to answer these that would be most helpfull.

1) If I'm in 3d control room or on the bridge, can't I click onto TDC, Periscope etc. to use them? I thought the control room was interactive with clickable "hot spots" but so far I only managed to go up on the bridge and back.

2) If I'm in 1st Person on the bridge, switch to external camera (F11) and then back to F2, I'm returned to the control room inside. Is there no way to switch back into bridge view, is it all done trough the mouse interface?

3) No way to re-assign keyboard commands?

4) To delete a save-game, I first have to load a campaign, then go to save-screen and then I can click "delete". Why can't I delete saves from the load-game menu point in the main menu?

I'm sure that the actual combat and concepts of submarine warfare won't be that difficult for me, but the interface itself is more than slightly confusing.

Thanks for all help, and happy christmas

Helmut
