Head-to-view?

Vorkapitan · 04-13-07, 10:34 AM

Hi All,

Is this happening to anyone.

On the surface @ flank speed, using binoculars, I sight a ship about 5 degrees to port.

I then hit the head-to-view key (+ = key) to head in that direction.

It seems to work on-and-off. When I click the button, The rudder controls stay at neutral, or if they move, it does not allign to "0" on the scope.

My sub does not turn at all. Is this a bug? SH3 works fine.

No, it works for me. I do recall the first time I played it did not work.

It's working as intended for me too.

Odd.

Sometimes I have to hit the key more than once to get a response from the helmsman, but then again, maybe it's my bluetooth keyboard setup not relaying fast enough. Dunno. But yes, once recognized, it works like a charm.

Yes, this is also whats happening to me....but also I noticed that the "green lock" will not turn "green" even when I get it aligned to "0" heading.

The head-to-view button does not seem to be consistant to me.

I don't have a problem with the "A-Okay Shoot It's Green" light, 'ceptin that my torps are mainly hitting the stern...as has been already discussed.

If'n you have a wireless keyboard/mouse, check their batteries just in case.

There's a delay, at least for me. I hit the = key for "Set heading to view" and a few seconds pass before I hear the verbal order from the helmsman. The command only takes place when that verbal order is given; if I move my view before then guess where my new heading is? I've found I need to set my view, hit the key, and then wait until I hear "Yes, sir. New course..." before I move it.
