« on: November 10, 2008, 23:42:08 »

Have you tried using bow thrusters? If you are a complete stop, put the bow throusters on whichever way you want to go and the ship wil turn on a pin head.

See the attachment. In the yellow box is the controls for the bow thrusters. If you want to go to the left, you put the central lever (in the blue circle) to the left, past the end of the red marker. If you want to go right, you put the lever to the right past the end of the green marker. if at a complte stop, you will turn completely like your spinning, only slower than spinning. Also see your brochure with the game for extra help.

But the mission is in Ship Sim 2006 Add-on, and the mission is: 002 - Move some containers between 2 harbour areas.

Those are two ships from SS08.
The Agile solution is also in the SS06 addon.

I haven't got SS2006 installed, but it's either the container barge or the (small) container ship, that you are having these troubles with, right?

Also, the image that was posted is from SS08, not SS06. There is a similar control in SS06 though. You can rotate the ship by using the bow thruster. That's the little joystick, above the rudder control, see picture below.




Hope this helps.

Fred

The thruster only works is you are going very slow, or when you  are not in motion at all.

Perhaps you are sailing too fast to make the proper turns, so I'd suggest slowing down, and thinking much further ahead (with an eye on the radar/map aswell)

Taking it slower, planning turns (judging traffic etc) and using all the controls at your disposal the way they are meant to be used, will work!

I get a problem with the ships which I can't control. Sometimes they just go right to me, and sink me!

Yes, that is unfortunatly how these AI ships work. They go around as 'puppets on a string' and don't really think for themselves. They just follow their pathways as mindless drones.

You have to look ahead, and plan your manuevering well ahead aswell. Try to avoid THEM, they will not do anything to avoid YOU!

It's the way the game works, I'm afraid.

Yeah, The Water Taxi missions are very easy because they turn fast so they can easily aviod other ships.

Different ships and boats in the game turn differently than each other.  It can be a pain sometimes.

In Ship Simulator 2008, the AI ships do at least try to avoid you. They aren't perfect, but much better, compared to the 2006 AI ships.

If you can afford it, get Ship Simulator 2008!
