Insert spys

[johnlax]

Guys is there a trigger command to land operatives similiar to the photo command. Or do you simply arrive at the drop off point and the insertion happens????
Thanks for newbie question

[I'm goin' down]

get close to the drop off point. Surface. The little guy will leap into the life raft and head for shore when the Launch the little guy message appears on the screen.

Is there any doucmention on the insertion trigger??????

Ahoy John,
As the below post said, You need to approach the shore, all slow, as it usually gets very shallow. Observe the star on your Nav-Map, draw a course to the star. Once you get within a couple hundred yards, hit "All Stop". That is when you'll get a pop-up asking you if you want to deploy the rowboats. Do not accidentally beach you're boat.
The trigger is going to "All Stop", that is when the orders menu pops up.
Note: I approach the shore very slow and am always able to deploy well before it get dangerously shallow.
Hope this helps, Good Luck.

That should answer my questions thanks again I assume there is a similiar mech. for life guard pick-up ?

The little guy will leap into the life raft and head for shore

then he will capsize but amazingly keep on rowing upside down.

Lifer guard pick up is really funky (really messed up).
You must cruise by the smoke very slow and center the pilot in the binoculars and than click the life ring icon in the orders bar.
If you're playing stock the cross hairs will turn red but in TMO there are no cross hairs so you just have to guess. Sometimes you can't see the pilot and you have to guess that also.

I like the lifeguard things but the pick up thing is really messed up, takes the fun out of it especially in bad weather.

When you drop off your agent, don't be surprised at the sudden banging noise. It is just the boats knocking together. But it does sound loud!

Yeah, I used to think that it's supposed to represent the boat hitting bottom. It's just the wrong sound effect altogether. If something was that loud during a spy insertion, searchlights would be up all over the place and the mission would be over:O:
