Observation Periscope doesn't work

OBarbas · 02-23-08, 08:06 PM

I've reinstalled and applied path 1.4 but again, as in previous versions, I can't see anything out of my observation periscope. Doesn't matter if I'm surfaced or at periscope depth, and the observation periscope definitely rises to full extension. It's incredibly dark, like there's a hood over it.

Any suggestions? I have searched the forum but found nothing similar.

Cheers

I know this will sound weird, but how are you trying to raise the periscope? Are you using the on-screen switch, or the keyboard buttons? The reason I ask is that the two scopes are raised by two different sets of keys; one is page-up and page-down, the other is insert and delete. There have been problems in the past with players looking through one periscope and hitting the keys for the other one.

What Steve said, plus try the "O" key.

And if all else fails, remove the lens cap.

Control-insert = continuous rise O-scope
Control-PageUp = continuous rise A-scope
O = View O-Scope
F4 = View A-Scope

I had no idea the Ctrl+Insert and Ctrl+PageUp keys were available! You learn something new every day

The add-on's F1-inside-game-help is designed so these keys don't elude the player anymore.
