Title: Herkules Atlas question
Post by: reck on February 05, 2011, 00:24:31

hi all,

i have been using the herkules atlas pushboat, i just wondering why when you push the button for pushing you get 4 orange dots like if you want to tow/anchor or moor but when you click them nothing happens  ???

can anyone explain what if anything this does or is supposed to do?

thanks

reck

The orange points are for Barge Pushing. They only find Barge connection points. Have Traffic on in Solent and span near Southampton Container Terminal and a Barge can be found there.

Hi reck,

To push a barge, first position Atlas as close to the stern of the barge as possible. The bow of the barge has the tall steering cross.

When you click the barge connection button in picture BT1, four connection points on Atlas light up.

When you click one, four points on the barge light up as in picture BT2. Click one to make a connection.
Click the barge connection button again to make another connection.

Regards,
Marty
