*** Silent Hunter III FAQ ***

Floater · 08-03-05, 09:02 AM

Just glanced through the FAQ again, and I'm confused. A couple of times, you say that Ctrl + left-click on the map will centre the map where you click, but on my install it always centres the map on the boat. What gives?

That is correct, you are right. I should rephrase it.

How about: "will shift the map so the uboat is at that position on the screen"

Or does someone have a better suggestion ?

Floater · 08-03-05, 07:45 PM

I think that phrase is fine. Wherever you do a Ctrl+Left-Click, that's where your boat ends up being drawn.

Helps particularly when you've gone to another view, moved the mouse off the screen to hide it, and later gone back to the map and watched it scrolling ....

Just started playing, was a big fan of SHII, anyways I found myself in a peculiar scenario today. I took four bloody torpedos to sink a merchant vessel. That's only two less than what hit the Oklahoma (Or was it the Arizona.) The placement was not bad of the first two one it midships, one about four meters closer forward towards the bow both from port. The next one from my aft tubes straight up the prop from behind her keel, and finally another one in the midship on starboard.

Is this a bug or is it that touchy about placement?

Kinda surprised a thread like this isn't considered worth keeping stickied.

I must have used it a million times by now!

Marhkimov · 12-19-05, 04:59 AM

Yeah, I would've left this thread stickied.

And for future references, shouldn't part of the "sticky" criteria be determined by the amount of views?

Yes, but itÂ´s not necessarily the most important criteria. Some threads should be sticky "forever", some only for a certain period of time. Their importance is the most deciding factor.

BUMP

Yea, frankly dont think its a good idea to let this one sink in the forums.

Soon the game will hit the bargin bins and there will be a whole new influx of "I cant see through the periscope !" and RTFM's.

Please re-stick it. 'People are smart now' indeed, but the topic contains a number of very useful links.

Drebbel · 01-13-06, 02:23 PM

Since these FAQ are abandoned I would vote against making them a sticky, but --->

In case someone wants to take over and keep these FAQ up-to-date then please contact me.
