when i use the handle to rotate the peri - it goes the OPPOSITE direction (??!!)
thank goodness for the little compass thingy so i can mouse about
Just imagine yourself standing before the periscope having your hands on the handles. If you click with the mouse on the handle - think about it as if you would always *push* the handle - now it should make sense:
on the left -> clockwise rotation of periscope
on the right -> counter-clock rotation of periscope

I think DW is is correct in this point.
Why*push* and not *pull*?

I\'m having trouble with the radar, sir.
What\'s wrong with it?
I\'ve lost the bleeps, I\'ve lost the sweeps, and I\'ve lost the creeps.
