change parascopes height

DrBackJack;
are you using the Attack Scope or the Observation Scope? It's been noted that the Observation Scope does not rise to the same height as the Attack Scope so you have to bring the sub up a bit more than usual otherwise you're view will be obscured by the water.
The red line on your depth gauge is periscope depth but that is for the Attack Scope not the Observation Scope ('O' key to activate the Observation Scope, if memory serves).

Having said that, if you are in less than calm seas your periscope view regardless of which one you are using, will be obscured by wave action etc. The only way around that is to bring the sub up a bit so your scope clears the waves. Be warned; if you do that your conning tower may breach the surface if the seas are rough enough.

On both parascopes my view is blocked by the conning tower.

To start with are you doing a MOD or using someones MOD or is this the stock game with stock scopes? And what version of the game 1.4 or uboat add on pack 1.5?

Im using 1.5 with the NSS Shark from Silverwolf. The parascope is supposed to actually clear the conning tower and stop inside the sharks fin on top of the conning tower. Mine wont get past the conning tower. Everything just stays black like when the parascope is lowered all the way. Also Im not using any mods but the Shark.

To discuss a problem it is necessary to define terms and concepts ...
Source files:
1) 3D models look in Sensors_sub_US.dat and Senzori_UBoot.dat ...
2) obj_Extensible controllers look in Sensors_sub_US.sim and Senzori_UBoot.sim ...
3) At first you can change parametre max_height (in obj_Extensible) from 5 metres to (your value) ... but do not forget that models of periscopes have the limited length ...

Thankyou so much Anvart! I had to change it from 4 metres to 5. Dunno how it got to 4 metres.
