steering out of moored position
« on: July 09, 2009, 20:25:14 »

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right forum to ask this, but here goes.

how do you steer out gently from a moored/parked position? for example in the mission 'Padstow passenger transfer' you unmoor but then how do you turn to point out of the harbour without knocking the wall or the other boats?
it'd be easy if the marbella delight had thrusters, they make turning on the spot as easy as pie!

as you can probably tell my boating lingo isnt up to scratch yet hehe!

thanks
Adam

Heya :)

Take it nice and wasy and slowly. :)

Put turn the wheel all the way.

If you need to turn to right put the lever on the left of the throttle up a lil (about 40%) and the one on the right down about 40% too. It will start to turn. :)

Hope this helps :)
