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.

I figured out most of the stuff already, but there's one thing that is breaking my leg and I can't find the answer anywhere.

When I ask the WO to identify the target, I can't see the identified target anywhere, the book doesn't show anything and I can't see the name anywhere. What's going on?

And sometimes I can see the shadow of the ship when it's about to sink, but the whole shadow above the water level, upside down.

Can you post your mod list - then we can see what may be happening

Welcome back onboard, Philipp !!!

Philipp_Thomsen · 10-08-11, 03:22 PM

This is my mod list.

Again, I'm still facing a problem that I can't find the solution anywhere.

When I ask for the weapon officer to identify the target, nothing happens. I can see that the command is giving, he reports back "WO: Identify target" in the text panel, but nothing happens, nothing shows the target type/name, nothing shows on the recognition manual.

Am I missing something?

Click the small button up beside the clock to get extro options.
Click on the XO button
Through the WEPs Id target
Targed id will show in box
Move the box out of the way by pressing "L" key
You can then view the ship details in the SOAN (id book)
