However, I have a small problem :

1 ) When I activate <F2> I get in the Control room ok, I can go forward or back with <Num Pad 8-2>, turn left or right with <Num Pad 4-6>, but I'm about 1 or 1.5 meter high above the ground , so I wanted to raise myself a bit with <Num Pad 7> but it has no effect at all, as well as <Num Pad 2> if I want t go lower. Is this normal ?
This happens to when I go to <F4> and go around. And in that case, I tried <Num Pad 7 or 1> and I suddently found myself in cam view in the "Kiosque" ???

2 ) Now for this one, may be I did a wrong move ? : I enter the hydrophone room with a left click of the mouse, then I don't quite remember how I got there, but suddently I found myself with the cam headed toward the ceiling or if I thy turning the camera, looking at the sonarman from above, as if the camera axis had changed...
I had to leave it that way, because I was unable to turn in such a way that I could see the way out...
So, to enter = mouse left click
What do you do to to go out of the Hydrophone room ? Is it well <Num Pad 0> or <End> ? Do I get back to the Control room that way ?
When I am in cam view in the Hydrophone room can I type <H> to sit at the Hydrophone ? If NO = How. If = YES, how do I get back to the Hydrophone room in cam view ?

And, I don't quite get this part of the Readme :

"- Keyboard layout changed, Key 0 on numeric pad or Key "End" is for going back to a fitting station (exaple you want to leave the 2D map view, you will return to the view where you have opened it) . Different new "go back`s" added, new key "Num /" or "POS1" now weapons officer -> identify target, new key "NUM *" or "Pause" now weapons officer -> create solution to target."

Thank you in advance, and very sorry for the disturbance, it's a very nice mod anyway.

Hello JMV,

1: Right, the most benefit is also to know how to use the cam. If in a 3D-view, i just point your view in the direction you want to go, using the mouse, while moving using the arrow keys left of the numeric pad. That allow you to move in every direction you like to. Dont turn your view with the keyboard, only use the mouse. Only move with that dedicated arrow keys left of the num pad. If you wont have those keys, bacause you are using a notebook, you could try to use the numpad arrow keys but pressing the Num-Lock key first, to disable Num-Lock. In Multiplayer, you shold know, pressing the Num-Lock key also opens the multiplayer chatline, close it again with enter.

2: Entering the Radio or Sonar station is possible by left clicking on the 3D radio or sonar man, you can also use the 2D icons by right clicking the icons. If you want to leave such a station you can do it always with the "End" Key, the "NUM 0" only works if "Num-Lock" is activated. After you have exited the radio or sonar station, the cam is positioned in a way like you have just stand up from that place, just turn the cam to that direction you want to go next using the mouse, by moving again with the arrow keys.

Also, if you are in a high dive or surface angle, it could be that exiting those stations will drag you out of sectors sometimes, or your simply not able to reach the areas infront or behind the central position, but this could also happen on a real sub
