i have though forgotten how the guns work and so went ot play the convoy scenario but could not get the guns to point in the direction of the convoy ships at all

i switched to the top gun director and moved the viewfinder crosshairs over the approaching cruiser and adjust the range but the main guns are just firing off at a different angle altogether - what do i need to do to train them to where the viewfinder is looking?

Let me know if you figure it out with the manual, otherwise write again!
Just remember to enable the gun, connect it to the correct fire director and aim with the same director.

also at times when i try to go out of ht emap screen or when i hit escape and then go back to the game, i am on the deck again in walking mode - i think you should have it that when you press 'M' for the map, - you can then press 'M' again and it will go back to the last position you were in

Yes, some work needs to be done here. Currently when using for example the map, it's recommended to press the station you want to go back to, for instance 1 for walking mode, G for fire director and so on...

Yup, sadly I didn't manage to fix the map issues before the demo. It's luckily not needed yet.

Agreed! It shall be fixed.

You use the A/D keys to set the focus, when the target is in focus then you have the correct distance. It's called a stereoscopic rangefinder.

Sadly it lags because of the way water is rendered. When the water gets doubled, it's simply too much.
I am currently working on a new way of rendering the water which should save alot of vertexes. That should solve the lag!

This is procedure is not yet implemented. I need to program some AI help here, unless I fix the map first. So for now, you have the guesstimate :-)
Check the angle of bow of the target and set it using the dials.
