Must be the retractable azimuth thruster. It lasts a long time, until you can see any reaction on that maneuvring device. And the ship has to be real slow for it.

hi

if you let JJ stand still and try to move that controller around you will see effect, you can turn sideway, side forward sideboards with it, it's the retractable azimuth thruster that bottman say
try it and learn how to us it

Hi Ferryman 46,
See this guide by mvsmith. It gives detailed explanations of how to drive "Jumbo Javelin". It is always a good idea to search the Forum as you will be pleasantly surprised by what you can find.
