Navigation Tutorial Help

[Metalogic]

Hi -I've been playing through the Navigation Tutorial, but have a problem.

If I set a course to sail through the small strait to the SSE and follow this course, I enter the strait and complete the first task, but when I exit the strait, the second task never completes!

I've tried this multiple times and have waited until I've sailed further (once as far as the North Sea!), but the second task still won't complete.

What am I doing wrong? Don't to just need to pass through the first small strait to the SSE?

Also - where are you meant to perform the dive maneuvers and how do you find out your current depth under keel?

That's interesting. Are you reading the requirements carefully? Everything you need to do and how to do it are explained in the messages they send. They not only tell you to dive to 25 meters but tell you to click on the Shallow Depth Gauge to get there.

They also send you a radio message every time they want you to do something.

To get Depth Under Keel click on the Navigator icon and then click on the side-view of the sub with what looks like a measuring bar under it.

Thanks, but I never seem to get a radio message apart from the first one telling me I've completed task 1.

Task 2 always stays incomplete, despite passing through the strait :-(

This thread suggests this, which I guess I could try:

For example, during the first mission, you'll need to travel into a narrow channel....so just look around for a narrow place, and head into that direction, ahead-standard.
You'll also see a few small vessels, which are "monitoring your progress"....they also give you a clue about where to go.
Then use your binoculars (B-key), to spot a ship far ahead....when you reach it, you'll get your next order, etc.

Okay,I tried this, I'm still not able to complete the second order, even when I reach the big ship (looks like a cruiser or something). Any suggestions?

I use the compass to set course 250 and go to standard speed. The message to go to full speed and dive should come within a couple of minutes. Do you have the three Schnellboote pass you in the channel? Do you see the fourth schnellboot come from the opposite direction and pass you on the port side?

It sounds to me like something might be wrong with your install.
