The Observation Perisope does not raise as high as Attack Periscope. I think you need to be at 11 or 12 meters to use Obs Scope. From blueprints I have read this is correct.

The Obs Scope is used when patroling and when trying to avoid depth charges because of the verticle view angle.

@Magic1111

Your periscope depth is too deep (14m).

Which .cfg are you referring to?
I'm having the same issue.

Yes, it´s the "NSS_Uboatxx.cfg" (xx stand for your current use sub type) in the data\Submarine folder !

In stock, both the obs and attack scope work at periscope depth which is why you only have one periscope icon on the depth controls.

TDW changed it in his mod so the heights are different, which is apparently the way it was in RL and also why his mod has two(2) periscope icons on the depth controls.

The attack scope works at "periscope depth". The obs scope works at "snorkel depth". The bottom scope icon is the correct depth for the "attack scope" and the top scope icon is the correct depth for the "obs scope".

I´ve just started with SHV and have enabled the Magnum Opus mod-collection.
1. Are there any recommended mods to use with MO? I know it´s most likely a very difficult question to answer since it is largely a matter of personal taste. I also realize that it´s slightly OT in this thread.

2. When I first looked at the Multiple UI mod it also contained a number of optional mods that were largely for setting how/if map contacts should be displayed etc. Are they somehow incorporated into the MO collection, if not can I simply enable them one at a time after first enabling MO?

I will sugest you to use after MO the new version of IRAI, the FIX v.13, and of cource the new version of this mod... you can enable the optional mods founded in multiple ui mod - one at tine after MO like you already supoused

I had a heck of a time getting RAOBF wheel to work with this. Either the scope would revert back to stock, or the "wheel" part of the gizmo would not spin for me.

I ended up trying quite a few combinations and finally got things working by uninstalling sh5 and all mods, reinstalling with only MO (stock 1x - 4x scope appeared). Manually installed the mano's scopes mod on top of MO and got that part working.

As for the wheel, it initially worked in a historical mod so i got excited and started my long awaited campaign. No worky. Rats

So i sat there and fiddled with it in the harbor and finally got it to work by clicking on the "manual input" button on the TDC. Voila! The funny thing is that it now works whether on or off, i just had to "kick start" it by clicking the button.

I initially had ERM & toniloCoyote's "real dimensions" installed but now i just use "soan" and haven't had the nerve to installed real dimensions since fouling up my last install of the game. So now i just have MO (patched) and Mano's scopes.

Hope this helps others!

FYI: Just loaded Test 8 and found problems with the speed and depth guages on the lower left. The triangle under the commanded speed doesn't move, regardless of what speed is requested. The depth number and speed number do not change after a depth or speed change request, despite the boat changing depth or speed, which I can see in the guages while sitting in the conning tower. Flipping out of map or con screens, etc., seems to change those numbers sometimes, but they aren't accurate, regardless. Reloaded Test 7 and things are back to normal, so it's definitely something related to Test 8.

Just fired up test version 8 and I can't duplicate the problems you mentioned. Sounds like you have a corrupt install somehow. I click on speed and depth and they respond.

I'm not sure if thats an issue, or some left over scope from previous mods, or something else, it doesn't effect the game in anyway so its not a huge concern, but just thought i'd bring it to your attention.

Can't reproduce this either. When I first go to the attack scope the grids are there (at low zoom). When I zoom in the grids disappear (result of mano's scope mod). When I zoom out the grids reappear. I leave the attack scope station. I re-enter the attack scope station and everything is working as previously described.

currently the RAOBF cannot be rotated unless:
- you have TDC turned on
- you have manual input enabled
