My sub won't follow its course

[thegrindre]

Hi guys,
OK, so I plot a course. I fine tune it then tell my sub to return to course... BUT, when it comes to a turn, my sub just keeps on going straight.
What am I doing wrong here??? How do I resolve this issue???

Thanks

Did you try hitting the "return to course" button? If you've hit the rudder button since setting the course, it will forget. And if you load from a save, it will often have to be returned to course. It also is not very good at cornering, kind of an issue with all boats, and will generally overshoot

Is the problem that it doesn't turn at all, or that it overshoots the waypoint where it should turn?

It overshoots but not always. Only sometimes. Sometimes it will follow the course but other times it won't. Maybe about 1/2 the time or so.
What I do is click that, return to course, button multiple times, not just once and that usually resolves the problem.
It's just a pain that I have to click that button all the time.
I thought there might be a 'fix' of some kind around here.

I think it turns off if you change any setting like change speed or move the heading by clicking the compass, then you have to redo the command to resume course.

its not a problem if you don't touch any other controls after setting it
