WOW! I stumbled onto a much needed adjunct to my capabilities. I didn't know that the mouse wheel will increment the SONAR direction. Where have I been? I've been playing SH4 for almost six months. I always used "Home-End" to get close. Now, I can home in exactly. I guess everyone else knew about this option. I'm stupid! :damn: Old_tex

Well since the manual did such an exemplary job of describing these things I cant see how you missed it :doh:

Actually I played for years without knowing this. It wasent untill I stumbled onto the 'undocumented key commands' did I realize it.

Ill find the link and post it here.

I found it out by pushing every button almost randomly when I was starting out, must have been accidentally.

Obviously the saying/proverb relates to having endless amounts of patience... but I seem to find it works best if you go a ways upstream and kill the enemy and toss them in the river - then you can hurry downstream to watch them float by in a very relaxed and karmic state while pondering the eternal mysteries of life.
