Unable to move into both flak and deck gun positions

I haven't got SH3 installed so this is all from my memory.

When you are at some stations, pressing the right mouse button takes you to another station. i.e. Radio Room to Control Room.

If you look in your commands_en.cfg there is a Goback command at the bottom of some stations.
You can alter and add these commands to different places.
There is a bug in some Goback commands and you get a double jump or no action at all i.e. coning tower deck to coning tower, will result in coning tower deck to Control room.

I made the middle mouse button do the Goback commands which overcame the 2 bugs. Then I altered and added more Goback commands. I also changed the attack periscope command to take you to the Coning tower scope view and added a goback from attack scope to Coning tower scope view. This let you use the open door buttons etc in this view then click the eyepiece to go back to attack scope.
I also added Captains log to control room and many others including free camera so that I could walk around.

I always played at 128x max exceleration and also made one key that did 16x at a single key stroke, handy for hurrying things up a bit.

In addition to sharkbit's handy tips are some more multi-commands
Lower both periscopes when hitting "S" surface.
Adding "depth to bottom of keel" when pressing "D" diving.

Hope this helps in giving you ideas for your setup.

Excellent ideas!!!!

Gone are the days of sailing around with my scopes up when I forget to put them down upon surfacing.
Well, it looks like I got to open up Set Keys when I get home this afternoon and make some additions.

Thanks badwolf!

You mean I'm not the only one that does that?

*phew*

I've tried to get a routine going where it's "order, periscope depth - raise scope - look around - order, surface the boat - lower scope" but sometimes I just forget and how embarassing is it to wander up to the bridge a few minutes later and go "whoa hey what's this thing blocking my view oh crap not again hey can somebody down there please lower the scope kthxbai!"

The crew, they say nothing, but I can tell from their furtive glances that they think I'm sneaking schnapps in my coffee.
