I don't know of a Function Key that lets you jump straight to the conning tower. Is there one?

You could do F8 to go to the sonar station and right-click into the conning tower in stock I think. There is no Function Key to the CT in stock.

You can mod commands.cfg. Mine has "go back" from the bridge to the CT and "go back" from the CR to CT and the CT to the CR etc.

Happy Hunting!

Thank you aanker.

I'm trying to figure out how to use this program and/or modify the file. I'm terrified I'm going to screw up SH4. It is finally saving games, not crashing and not giving me other errors.

I don't know what I did but it crashed the game. I'm sure I did something wrong. I put the backup copy of commands.cfg back in place and it's fine now.

But.. during my prowling about...

I see there are key sets for "Captains Quarters", etc.
Do these places really exist? If I assign a key stroke to it I can go to them in SH4?
They also had listed Free Conning Tower Camera, etc and several other camera locations I've never discovered.

Do these really work?
