Help! cannot set course!

Joe S · 08-07-05, 06:51 PM

Ijust ran a mission and found I could not set a course by clicking on the compass. This is a real handicap. I tried using setkeys to set it up so that the crew would announce the current course, but that never worked. So I use the "v" key to switch to match the current view to the current heading. Now, I cannot set the course. It appears I screwed something up . What is the fix? Thanks! Joe S

Hey Joe....so you can't set a course. Are you surfaced and klicking on the big compass on the bridge? Or are you talking about the interface compass? What mods are you using?

Make sure the navigator is at his post too

The Navigator is at his post. I can plot a course with the map tools but I cannot change or set the course by clicking on the compass. If I have plotted a course to or from the patrol zone, I I have to dodge an escort on the way , I dont want to erase the course just to make a slightdeviation. All was OK until I tried using Setkey to get the crew to announce the boats own course, per suggestion in another thread. At any rate, when I click on the compass to change course, nothing happens. If you can help me out I would appreciate it. Thanks, Joe S

What mods do you have installed?

Out of fuel?

Props blown off by the perfect 5 inch gun hit?

A wildcat strike, perhaps?

There is no damage and I am able to complete the mission but its a real pain in the butt not to be able to make course changes with the compass. Joe S
