Title: Manoeuvring from aft station
Post by: chouby-20 on July 19, 2007, 08:45:10

Is it possible to manoeuvrer from aft station on Fairmount Sherpa because in walking position, my joypad is out and it's difficult for the mooring.
Perhaps it's possible to create a commande for aft station.

and maybe also on the other ships so that you can control thef on the sides of the bridge

Would be great if there was some kind predefined places (port bridgewing, starboard bridgewing, poop, monkey island etc...) that could be reached with F1-12 or something similar.

on Ferry, it's the same problem when you have to go from port to stbd.
It will be good with predefined button

The F-keys are already used. The camera view shortcuts are 1-5. I agree that it would be great to have a camera on the poopdeck and the forecastle. To reach the bridgewings you can use the walk-mode.

You can find more suggestions about camera views here:

Yes... there will be a lot of running but that is actually how it works in real life. It is usually quite amusing to watch the captain and the chief officer sprinting across the bridge...  ;)

I like to be able to move around freely in the wing - there are a lot of blind angles if the camera is fixed.

ok I understand but I'm used to play with my joypad and in the walk mode I can't use it ( in the outside view I can use it)

Who said anything about fixed cameras? Predefined places is just predefined places and regardless of where on the ship you are, the camera should not be fixed.

This is weird...   :o It works fine for me. Try enter the "Feature requests and suggestions" board and find the topic "Camera Views" instead.
