Will do sir!

But i am quite enfuriated with my nav man. he still seems to plot the Kiel Outbound course right into the side ofthe Kiel canal. killing me.. Grrr I ll have to manually do it I guess

Select the outbound key and immediately stop the engines (they will start up automatically)....now give the order to follow the waypoints.

No he plots the waypoints into the land of the Kiel canal. Ill just manually move them I guess. like its not that it keeps going straight or anything he plots through the canal. just when you zoom in. you can tell he plotted through the land near the canal.

That should not be the case...but if it is, simply plot the waypoints manually

One thing I have found - the Kiel Outbound pre-plot ONLY works from the original docked position. So I tell the WO to go All Ahead Slow - pop into Nav - hit the Kiel Outbound - then go to the bridge and watch. If all looks good, once I round the docks I go to All Ahead Standard - wait a bit - and if all is well THEN go to TC - which I have set in SH3Cmdr to 128 max "Near Land".

Otherwise, I maneuver to the start point myself and then plot the whole thing out manually - which does seem to work out better in the long run.
