Separate orders for port/starbd engines

[raymond6751]

I've got two buttons on my UI screen that enable orders for the two screws. I know they came from a mod, but I cannot find which one, nor how to use them.
Help!
I have been through all my documentation, the mods listed in forum download section, and all mods topics -- no mention.

Anyone know about this? I am guessing it is to conserve fuel, using one screw and stopping the other. How?

It's not a mod, it's a patch - Independent engine controls..
You can enable it using TDW's Generic Patcher.. also you have to enable it through the OptinsFileEditorViewer in the NewUIs..

Talking about, still have some troubles using it
When i stop engines, and ask for only one, my speed cursor doesn't respond as intented (yes again )
I sometimes have to even order back speed to get the cursor working again...
So i'm not really fan of it for the moment

I think it's not your computer or something else on your end.. I think it's something wrong with the code in some new patches (perhaps electric engines ratio, don't know).. several people (not English speakers) complained me on this issue via PM.. unfortunately I can't test anything myself now and check it.. I think it's electric engines patch because they said that everything was fine on the surface and all the errors happened submerged..

I'll retest it, because i think it's the same without new electric patches...
I will report soon results surfaced/submerged without patch
(btw, had to deactivate them, because each time i dive, hence auto switching on electrics, speed is always dropping 1 knukle down and do not respond correctly anymore)

I didn't say that I'm sure it's electric engines patch.. it might be any of the new patches.. we don't know what code TDW wrote and we don't understand anything in these issues ..
