Utter Noob...Help

Welcome aboard. I think your problems are based on lack of familiarity. If I remember right, the first nav problem also requires some changes in depth. I failed it the first time. Go through the tutorials again and it will work better.

Once you get finished with the academy, you may want to look at my Kielman website.

Ah, I was under the impression I had to change depth when I got to a certain point. Thanks, I'll try that next time.

Welcome aboard StayingPower!

With the first tutorial, keep an eye on your radio messages (press the m button to bring up a list of the latest). They have all the required steps you need to complete the mission.

Take your time with each training mission, and repeat them till you feel more confident. It's better to learn here than when you have a destroyer depthcharging you like no tomorrow.

Have a look ing the Newbie sticky at the top of the page for futher help and feel free to ask questions. We don't bite too bad here!

Hello, stearing the sub takes lots of practice. There are a couple ways to change your heading:

-by ploting a course on the map

-by moving the rudder with the mouse or keyboard

-by clicking on a heading on the compass

-in any pariscope view or from the bridge/deck gun, press the key next to delete (my keyboard is German), and your sub will automatically turn to that heading

-check out this thread (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=101924) for other ways you can enter commands

-you can't use the arrows to stear the boat. However, there are ways to change the keyboard functions around, but I haven't gotten around to doing that myself yet.

To get the external view locked on your sub, press the key under the 'L' key (sorry). You can also keep pressing it to look at other ships in the area.

I think Bookworm was talking about this thread:

It's gives useful tips for newcomers.

Good Luck!
