Newbie Question

Hello everyone,

I would like to know how I can set the course for my submarine. I believe you use the course plotter tool, where is this?

Also, are there any online manuals out there for SH4 amateurs, the in-game tutorials are not helpful? I was quite proficient in SH3.

Thanks.

Try hovering your mouse pointer over the buttons on the bottom of the screen you should see a button which has a line with an X at the end of it..use that to plot your course.

Its amazing really how often this "basic" question comes up.

Makes one wonder why did they change it ?

I'm very new to this game myself, I've never played the series at all. But after reading this forum and watching a few of the video tutorials some of the memebers have made I'm getting the hang of it.

I highly recommend looking at all the ones on manual TDC targeting, they are very well done and extremly helpful.
