Title: Jumbo javelin
Post by: Scanman on October 27, 2009, 09:44:54

Hey i recently downloaded the jumbo javelin and when i got round to playing it there is a wierd controll i have not seen it on any other ship, it spins round and goes forwards and backwards, what is it for ?, what keys do you use to controll it

It's a Azimuth control, it's basically, a propeller on a pod that can spin 360 degrees.

In real life, it was installed on the Jumbo Javelin to make it easier to keep a Dynamic position when loading - I think. Someone will correct me I'm sure if I'm wrong.

You may use the mouse for the azimuth thruster here. It's quite easy and the ship won't react as fast as the "Bugsier 2" will do. So it is perfectly done with the mouse here. But of course you can choose individual keys for the steering within your own settings.

Hi Scanman,

Here you will find what the controls are and how they operate.

Hi rsstn,
If you register on this forum with a valid SS08 key and update to 1.4.2 you can download it from your profile.

Regards, Dave

You need to register your profile here, with your license key(s) and then Jumbo Jvaelin can be downloaded from your profile page.

<<SNAP>> Same time as Dave, pretty much!  :thumbs:
