Sail simulator

Yea but dose anyone know where you can get one of those little joystick things cause i can't find them any where

There is no easy way to centre the rudder - just remember that in the game like the real thing it is better to use small inputs than to whack the tiller hard over and then try to recover it - lots of small taps on the keys.

Alternatively get hold of the Sail Simulator joystick thingy with a "real" tiller on it...

thanks that has helped a lot but dose anyone know if theres any thing u can press to move the rudder back in line again coz i can never get it straight again quick enough or some times even get it at 0,0 Thanks Katg

And there's another button that holds position so you don't go drifting off too - but I haven't used the game for ages so I can't remember which one it is!

ANother good tip is to slow the crew reactions right down if you are sailing a dinghy or they leap about all over th eplace and then you capsize...

Hi Katie

I've got Sail Sim 4 and it took me a while too (I had to dig around the disk for the manual as the help feature wouldn't work).  The following might help you out:

Mainsheet: F1, Main Halyard: F2, Curve Main: F3, Toggle Auto-Main F4, Jib Sheet (Port): F5, Jib Sheet(Stbd): F6, Jib Halyard: F7, Toggle Auto Jib: F8

Then to ease/heave in sheet or lower/raise halyard use arrow up/down

 

Hope this gets you on the move!

PS To find the manual right click the disk in My Computer and select explore - you'll see the manual folder where you can open it as a PDF File.
