Title: How does the stern thruster work on the JJ
Post by: Tommyboy on November 18, 2009, 02:48:39

Need help understanding how to use the stern thruster on the JJ.  I can get the "green" thruster to work but I do not understand and am unable to get any effect from the "red" banded thruster.  Any tips would be appreciated :lol:

Hi Tommyboy..The "sternthruster" is actually a retractable azipod, used for Dynamic Positioning, eg fine-tuning of the ships position. You can only control it with the mouse..I hope the picture makes it a bit more clear.. :)
