Deck Gun Stuck

[orcisaac]

Hi all. I am very new to silent hunter and have started with Silent Hunter 4 with some mods i saw Wolfpack using. So far everything seems good except when i go to use the deck gun it does not pan left, right or increase or decrease elevation. Any idea what the problem is?

some questions:
in which folder is SH4 installed?
actually, rather than run down a litany of questions, have you read through the excellent newbie guide that Berbster documented?
then there is Onkel Neal's thread?

also, when posting a question with a game issue, it is best if you paste in your JSGME mod list.
if you are not using JSGME, that could be your first problem.

The mod list is a bit backwards orcisaac. Try going with

1. 100_FalloftheRisingSun_Ultimate_v1.8
2. 101_FotRSUv18_FixPak
3. Nihon Kaigun v1.3_FotRSU
4. Nippon_Maru_v1.9b_FotRSU
5. Combined Roster
6. 451_TMOstyle_NavMapDots
7. 451a_TMOstyle_NavMapDots_Nippon_Maru=4
8. 451b_TMOstyle_NavMapDots_Nihon_Kaigun
9. Fleetboat_Interior-Officers_Quarters_FOTRSU_v1.7_EN
10. FI-OQ_FotRSU_v1.8f_upcPatch

The orange text names are mods you do not have entered. Empty your Save folder (default "C:\Users \UserName \Documents \SH" or similar) after the changes, and then run the game again, and see if the gun doesn't work now. Also, refer to "SH4_Q-Ref_Card_Back.jpg" and "SH4_Q-Ref_Card_Front.jpg" image files for the proper key presses to use to operate your boat (just in case). Let us know how you get along.

Thank you I tried this and am still having problems. I referenced the controls document but it is not obvious to me how to move the gun. In game it says to just pan the mouse to the edges of the screen. I have tried this after clicking to lock my view to the gun and tried doing this while 'zoomed' in with the sights. I did notice the elevation on the left side of the sights move up and down but the gun does not appear to actually track with it. I also tried firing after 'raising' the elevation, thinking that maybe it was a visual bug and the gun is actually moving just not appearing as if it is. No dice though, it just fires right into the aft deck.. I may just try disabling all mods and see if it works after that. Otherwise, any other suggestions?

Be sure you empty the Save folder after changing the mod order, else you will end up with "bad" data from your previous set-up. Use the <Tab> key to zoom in and out while at the <F10> deck gun view. You can also use the up/down and left/right Arrow Keys, if your keyboard has those, to raise and lower elevation - which you will not see much of a change in the view finder when zoomed, and to rotate the view. If you can target a ship with the periscope of TBT and "Lock" on it, you will get a range on the target. Shoot a bit "short" of that with the deck gun, such that if the range is 1500 yards, you'll usually get hits at 1200 yard with the deck gun. When you attempt to use the mouse, click once on the screen, but inside the viewfinder, not to the left or right. Once you have clicked once, sliding the mouse left/right will rotate, and then up/down elevation is with a push/pull on the mouse away from or toward you. The mouse is kind of a rough aiming, whereas the arrow keys are a finer resolution. You can hold the Shift key, and speed things up a bit with the arrow keys.
