What does "Battlestations" do, exactly?
In SHIV it "increased overall efficiency" and you could see on the crew screen that everbody was out of their bunks whether they needed sleep or not, etc. - I'm not sure I can tell what it does in SHV, don't recall seeing more crewmen standing around, and I'd like to know *how much* extra efficiency I'm getting in exchange for *how much* loss of efficiency at some point in the future.

Indeed. My autopatcher didn't patch (or give me an option to) and I was still running 1.0 which didn't show that.
Running 1.01 now though

Again, sorry if this has been asked before, but how do I order to return to the plotted course? It's driving me nuts.

Currently you'll need to use a mod or manually edit your commands.cfg to reenable that command. Apparently during development and testing no one ever needed to return to course.

Heh, thanks, you just posted just in time before I ran aground. There's no way I was re-plotting that course through the Kiel canal.
Installed ddrgn's advanced shift key commands, works fine. |

To return to course:
Try pressing the numberpad "." or "/" key, im at "work" now so i cant verify, one is return to course the other is "Make my viewpoint the new heading" To lower obervation periscope: Press shift+ insert on the keypad above the arrow keys, i had trouble with this too... Wish they didnt auto-raise when you went to the periscope station. My only problem is there doesnt seem to be any kind of compass, the guys call out "Airplane spotted - 278" and i dont have the numbers on the binoc view anymore. I know 27X means left about 90 degrees, but i would rather have a compass to verify. Also airplanes dont show up on the map anymore, while ships still do. And the game runs like dog****. And im not in a Type IIB |

Those are relative calls with your boats bow being 0/360 278 would be almost directly off your port side.
But yea a compass please.

I've been meaning to ask in my game at least F5 through F8 are 'greyed out' on the key map and seem to not do anything.

Hi guys, How do I ping depth under keel? Or cant I do so, in this "not-going-to-be-released-unfinished" game?
