Thanks, I knew this already. I still would like to change it so it uses this automatic behavior for course changes and for plotted courses.

hmm, i guess this is hardcoded in the game engine....

In the .sim file for ships and subs there is a section for the rudder. There`s a value for the drag factor of the rudder. Lowering this will reduce the loss of speed, as well as reducing the effectiveness of the rudder.

Thanks a mile Karle94, I am one step closer. Now I need to know which program can be used to edit *.sim files.
