Try your NUMLOCK.

CRUZER 8 · 04-03-10, 11:01 PM

Tried numlock off and on , no different. Also no waypoints set. Really need this key to get away from destroyers bearing down on me.

zero key on the numpad.. works everytime I try it.. the period key on the numpad also sets course to your view.. useful as well.

kylania · 04-03-10, 11:50 PM

By default it's NumPad 0. Make sure that NumLock is ON.

CRUZER 8 · 04-04-10, 12:23 AM

Really appreciate the help, tried num on, all num buttons dead.when turn it off shift and num 0 raises the periscope, shift and del lowers. Got to be another combination even though its default.

Drewcifer · 04-04-10, 12:27 AM

Your num lock isn't on man... zero is INSERT with num lock off.. and shift+insert is scope up command...

No, do not use shift............it's just number pad 0, no shift.

Well guys I even reinstalled the thing, tried all your sugestions and still the same a periscope command. hard right/left,ahead flank and full reverse ok. Can say again I'm doing the right thing as it did work at the one time but gone??

Does anybody know why the developers change the key assignments with every new Silent Hunter?

kylania · 04-04-10, 08:26 AM

Well, this one was pretty clearly changed to accomadate the WASD for movement. In doing so, it made a lot of sense to change S, D and P (three keys that are quite far apart) for R, F, V which are right next to WASD allowing quick access and make sense for R, highest on the keyboard, being surface and V, lowest on the keyboard, being dive.

Of course that's where logic ends and things get messy.

Is he using a laptop.

Sometimes the keymappings for laptops can be weird.

BTW its just numpad zero no need to press the shift key.

CRUZER 8 · 04-04-10, 09:13 PM

Yes just got a new laptop, a Toshiba Qosmio.
Spent about 11 hours yesterday trying all, am about to try again any other brief explanation help in bringing a subs rudder amidship other than a waypoint whilst trying to manouver into port Keil and evading destroyers etc would be great.
help!

theluckyone17 · 04-04-10, 09:46 PM

Or... do you have an actual keypad on the right side of the keyboard?

CRUZER 8 · 04-04-10, 11:42 PM
