Persicope issues in Silent Hunter 2
Hello all, I don't know if this was already answered or not so sry if this is like double-posting.
I am new to this forum so please excuse if I accidentally break any rules atm. I recently installed SH2 again on my computer and got it to work but i am having issues with the main game. I got Pacific Aces installed, and I am able to do pretty much anything in the game. The mouse is extremely sensitive though, don't know how to fix it atm. The issue I am having is with the periscope. What it looks like is a tiny hole in the socket that makes it almost extremely impossible to look at anything on the surface when at surface or periscope depth. I tried a few things but none have worked. When i use to play this, the view of the periscope was so much bigger and not a tiny hole as if i was trying to look through it from like 5 ft away. If anyone knows a fix for this and can provide one, I be much obliged. |

WELCOME ABOARD!
And no, you're not doing anything wrong. It's been a long time since I've played SH2, but did you try clicking on the little hole?

Yes I have. I tried to click on the hole both left and right mouse-clicks. Nothing, All i can see if i tried is small bits of water and the periscope does move but its ridiculously hard to see anything through it like ships and the other stuff.

I know there's a simple answer, but for the life of me I just can't think of it. Hang tight and be patient; sooner or later one of the Pacific Aces team will see this. They always do.

Can you post a screenshot? That would help a lot diagnosing the problem
P.D. I'll be out till late sunday evening or monday morning, so I won¡t be able to answer soon, but I will take a look at it as soon as you can post the screenshot

I'll post 2 so you can see it raised and lowered. Mostly likely you only need 1 but just incase.
that's the periscope lowered That's the periscope raised. |

Ah I remember now ...
Well it actually should take you to the bigger screen once you click there, in the small eyepiece. But if it doesn't, then the periscope text file is not correctly installed. I remember there was an optional periscope mod, with a different style, did you use that and see if it works?

Can you point me towards it? I have the Subsim super CD but for whatever reason, i can't tell which one is the periscope mod?
Or if possible, provide a fix for the periscope file? |

Hmmmm I can't find it in my files, but I'm pretty sure that if you mouse-click on the periscope you currently have, in the eyepiece or around it, it will take you to the bigger periscope screen. Doesn't that work for you?
I think I remember now that it was the "lite" free version which had the normal periscope, but I do not have it and have no idea if it is still hosted somewhere.

Maybe I misunderstand but I will try:
Raise the scope (page up) Click the red in the lower right of the screen to view through the scope Z to zoom You must be submerged to use/raise view through the periscope. Left arrow right arrow up & down arrows to move the periscope Page up and page down to raise lower On the Kollmorgan scope you must secure from red before going to the attack scope (red button lower right) zoomed view. I can see it in your screenshot. Hope this helps Happy Hunting! Art

Btw, I don't know if its even possible but is there a way to lower the sensitivity of the mouse in-game? I move the mouse very slightly, barely even moving it from the spot and the mouse moves from like the left side to about 3/4 of the way to the other side. It would be great if this is possible but i couldn't find an option. Thanks for the help you are able to provide and hope to fix this issue soon. Quote:
