Title: Throttle
Post by: NickGB on April 18, 2008, 23:22:51

Is there any way of keeping the throttles at full without having to keep ones finger on the key?  This gets very tiring on long journeys.

If you go into walk through mode then you don't have to keep your finger on the keys..

or if you manually set the throttle and steering by the mouse then you don't have to keep using the keys..

You can go to the Controls menu and select "Precision" controls. Then they stay where you put them.

If you are not in precision steering, hold the shift key down while you use the arrow keys to set throttle and/or helm. Release the arrow keys while the shift key is still down. Then release the shift key.

It’s quicker than it sounds, and has the advantage that you can quickly return throttle to stop or helm to amidships simply by tapping an arrow key.
