Hey there,

I came back to SH5 after two years. Actually I never played SH5, last I played was SH3, two years ago.

Downloaded a bunch of recommended mods and launched the game. Works fine.

Left kiel and killed myself. The keyboard shortcuts I'm used to don't work. I couldn't even find a way to pause the game to find my ways. What happened to [ and ] for hard left/right? I found a keyboard shortcut mod by Church's, which I'm downloading at the moment, but still don't have all the shortcuts I'm used to.

It was kinda funny actually. I pressed F3 thinking that I would be taken to the map view so I could plot my course, but... not quite. Pressed some other keys I was used to and I was then heading to a wall at full speed. In desperation, I found the automation button, and asked for Kiel outgoing waypoints, which made me avoid the wall but crash into another wall, probably cos I'm not supposed to move the uboat first and then use the automation. I had to quit the game and come back to subsim to try and find answers.

Back in SH3, we had a tool that allowed to manually change all the keys, a software called "Setkeys" if I remember correctly. This software still works with SH5? If not, do we have a new one compatible with SH5?

And what happened to the . (dot) key that would put you into outside camera following the uboat? All I can find now is a freecamera that doesn't follow the uboat.

Also, I'm using TDW's MO and UI, but I couldn't find anything on my screen telling me how many degrees the rudder is pointing p/s. Nothing is familiar, but I'm trying to adapt.

I'm old gang. Played SH3 for so many years, I was a pro. Now with SH5 I can't get out of the dock without killing half of the crew. Need some help and tips and links and mods from all of you old gangs like me who are already used to SH5.


EDIT:

Ok, I found a way to make SetKeys work with SH5, and fixed most of my problems. Still, the UI is like inverting your arms for your legs in your brain, takes a while to get used to.

I have the feeling that my first torpedo attack is going to be an utter comedy, since I didn't practice any kind of tutorial or single mission, straight from SH3 to SH5. Let's see what happens.
