Default Torpedo firebutton doesn't work in FOTRS 1.46

Hi,

Installed vanilla SH4 Gold Edition and tried tutorial with torpedo attack. No problem.

Installed FOTRS 1.46, LAA-ed etc and tried the torpedo tutorial again. Now the firebutton doesn't work anymore. It can be pressed but nothing happens.

Anyone got an idea?

The FotRSU mod, like most other "super mods", uses the <Ctrl><Enter> key combination to shoot the torpedoes. The two keys used together help to eliminate accidentally shooting torpedoes when you are hammering away on the <+> key of the numpad, and accidentally hit the <Enter> key there. Just be sure and open your torpedo tube doors before shooting, else you will miss behind. Consult the "SH4_Q-Ref_Card_Back.jpg" and "SH4_Q-Ref_Card_Front.jpg" files in the root of the game folder for other keyboard short-cut changes implemented in FotRSU:

Press Q to open the tube doors on the torpedo or torpedos you want to fire. I couldn't figure it out either till I asked.

It's also on an icon at the bottom of one of the command screens(oops think that is TMOwTW). As propbeanie noted the keyboard map tells all. Don't forget when you dive deeper than about 100 ft. the tubes close automatically. How many times I've forgotten to open the tubes is infinitesimal.
