Sail simulator

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.

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...

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

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...

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