Also a question about the engineer's manuevers, they don't appear to be available surfaced and don't appear to do anything submerged. I click one, I get the message and voice of "rudder whatever" and "double turn port", but all that happens is I drop a few meters (from 12 to 16 at least) but no turns. Ideas?
the heading bar is really easy. If you're using the default keys then if you press the 'Q' key the ordered heading decreases (the 'E' key increases ordered heading). For instance: you're at heading of 250. You mouse into heading bar and press and hold the 'Q' key - ordered heading will start counting down from 250. When you mouse out the new ordered heading will take effect.

You can always click on the heading bar to bring up the dial. Maybe that would be easier for you to use?
