Title: Basic Questions
Post by: liotta on November 23, 2009, 17:47:50

Hello,

I have some Basic Questions which I can not find the answer to. I will probely get keel hauled for asking them and not finding them but here goes ...

Do Custom Missions count towards your ranking?

when I connect to the internet in game, does it download my progress to this site automaticly?

I have logged onto Multiplayer once or twice but have never meet anyone. Does anyone use it?

 ... and how in gods name do you stop a hovercraft on the beach lol .... it keeps moving before I can attach the mooring ropes  :captain:

- No, Custom Missions are not connected with rankings. 

- Yes, when on MP your in-game progress/rankings updates the progress info on forum in your profile. You can also click "Update" when on MP.

- Check this (http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,15480.0.html) for arranging the meetings.  ;)

You stop the hovercraft by sitting down. Turn the leftmost throttle off.

You will find instructions for the hovercraft in the link I gave you.

Also you can stop it by holding the < or > keys
Another way - like in this video:  http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,2358.0.html

A gentle way to stop is: throttle off a bit, if necessary reverse forward thrusters, then settle her down (left throttle)

Plenty of Hovercraft videos on YouTube  ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELkHtEHa6p8&NR=1
