I forgot how to move around the boat......

Shift+F2.

BTW, has anyone ever noticed that you can get from the Control Room to the Conning Tower by clicking the hatch at the top of the ladder behind the crewman at the map table? And you can get from the Conning tower to the Bridge via the hatch at the top of the ladder on the left? You can also get back to the Control Room from the Conning Tower via the hatch in the floor, but you can't go back anywhere from the Bridge.

Also, these links don't work if you use the Shift+F2 method. They only work if you're in the room normally.

Hey Fred I remember that..How do you get your person to move,walk?....

magic452 · 06-15-11, 05:19 PM

Don't remember stock but in TMO the arrow keys move left and right, forward and backward and "home" and "end" will move you up and down.

I wont I have been in and out of the hospital and bored with the game..I want to play it the right way and cant seem to get a handle on the plotting etc.I think too old and stupid,never was much good at math...

magic452 · 06-16-11, 12:58 AM

You don't really need much math, just be able to draw a few lines on the map and maybe a triangle and you set to go.

Start in late 43 or early 44 and you have radar and it's pretty easy if you use map contacts on. That is the way I play now, more fun for me than all that 100% thing.

You work so hard at getting the game running I hate to see you not enjoy it.
Well we're always here to help anytime you need it.

Oh and stay out of that hospital thing will ya.

Holding the shift key will let the above move you around a little faster too, if your knees can stand it! I'm pretty much in the same age group, guys; we may be getting older, but as they say, growing up is something else again!
