Stopwatch query.

CTaardvark · 03-17-10, 05:53 PM

Probably a very simple explanation for this, but here goes anyway. How do I get the wooden looking stopwatch that constantly sits at the top of my screen to work? I've seen posts saying press the X key. That just seems to fiddle with my snorkel (ooeer missus!).

Ta much for any help.

The one at the top in a wooden case is not for use but reading only.
If you want to use it, you need to go to periscope view where you
can use it.

The one in other screens is for consultation only when you have
torpedoes in the water and when to see when they will hit,
without being under periscope view.

Ahhh thanks for that.. I was wondering the same thing myself but was too lazy to ask.

If you use GWX, look at the top of the screen. You'll see the very bottom of it there, looking like a little wooden bar. Just reach up with the cursor and drag it down.

Don't forget, clicking on the watch face will run you through a cycle of start, stop and reset.

Sailor Steve - I know how to get at it. I just don't know how to get it to tick!
Jimbuna - I've tried that. It doesn't work.
Gilbou - I'll try that later. Can't say I've looked to see if its running if I turn on the metal one you get in periscope view.
