Shift+F2 while in Command Room, gives you free camera inside.

There`s a whole bunch of mods at the below link in case anyone is interested. Puts

Would recommend against trying to sit on the bottom to avoid destroyers, doesn't seem to work.

ENTER key reassignment

a fix for this was posted few days ago by rlk, it works just great.

While you're sober do this: [Big Grin]

Go to data/cfg

Open Commands.en (or de if using German)

Find cmd313

Change Keyo=oxod ,, "enter"

To Keyo=oxod ,c, "enter"

This remaps to ctrl enter to fire torpedos

I made a small mod that enables crew cheers in the German version.

http://users.pandora.be/johan_eaf274/downloads/CrewCheers_DE.zip

From the readme:

This mod enables crew cheers in the German dialogue speech in Silent Hunter III. When you destroy a ship (or aircraft) in the campaign, one of the crew in the command tower will cheer. No other changes are made by this mod.

You do not need to install this mod if you are using English speech in the game (since crew cheers are already present).

Enjoy

Alt F4 seems to be the key control for "exit game and hide from spousal unit without effecting patrol stats key"...

note: untested wide awake.

ALT TAB works as well! of course, PAUSE it first!


So my Spouse "DIVE" Routine is:

1. "ALAAAAAAAAARM!"
2. press backspace with your right index finger
3. press ALT and TAB with your leftthumb and index finger respectively
4. if properly prepared, have website up in browser on desktop behind game, preferably something like 1-800-flowers (gets you bonus points!) heh heh heh...and set your taskbar to autohide!

"Sticky Hydrophone":

Don't you hate it, that when you're switching between map and hydrophone all the time, everytime the hydro-needle has moved elsewhere?

To have the needle stick where you left it, simply put the sonar-guy off-duty.

Mad-h's post at subsim.... I can also attest it works as advertised. [Thumbs Up]

Mad-h reports: crosshair removed!

open the menu_1024_768.ini file, search for [G27 I12] (the viewport thingy) and change the whole thing to only this:
[G27 I12]
Name=Viewport
Type=1030;Static bmp
ItemID=0x27000001
ParentID=0x27000000

no crashes, no crosshair, you can still choose targets with it (use the middle of the binocular), and yes, the watch officer can help you (deck gun target, or something, nearest warship, nearest merchant and stuff). It works.
