blubasso Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) Hi, i bought the game yesturday night (EU time), and i try to do something. I saw on the Options that if you want to switch in manual skipper mode, you have to press F. I did it. Nothing happened. I double clicked F, just in case. Nothing. I tryed all keys, nothing changed and the “auto skipper” looked at me smileying ironically... Is it my problem or manual skipper is off for all? Edited January 25, 2018 by blubasso

Press F to get into automatic again I see. Must i just push the key once or have i to push the key longer? Anyway, thanks for your help Edited January 25, 2018 by blubasso
Pada Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 If you have problems understanding what all the keys do I recommend you to watch some videos on Youtube about manual sailing. They're very helpful for new players. 1

I saw three videos about manual sailing, but (maybe is me, it could be: English is not my native language) i didn’t understand that i had just to push a key to switch in manual mode. Ok, sorry for bother you all

Anyway, thanks for your help its like the rudder. If you just hit once and a shorttime the yard just turn minimal. The longer you hold the keys rediii mentioned the more the yards turn. Double tabbing a key brings the yards in max turn postition. Same for the rudder keys. Edited January 25, 2018 by z4ys 1

Anyway, thanks for your help Double clicking on q e z or c gives command to yards full right/left, so you do not need to hold the button all the time. Same for rudder turn (A or D) It will be covered in the upcoming player tutorial 3

Norfolk nChance Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 @blubasso OK can I asked are you in a BATTLE or Open World (OW)? When in OW you cannot manual sail. The manual sails occur when in a mission or a BATTLE.
flipper687 Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Ahoy oh dark one, on a CP flight bound for Shanghai we need to catch up this week Flip 1

Well, i tryed in both but in combat i was too busy to control the icons and honestly i don’t remember if i tryed to push Q and E: some “disturbing elements” as gun balls and sea waves distracted me... So have i to train myself just when i finished a mission or battle, and i am alone in istance? Edited January 25, 2018 by blubasso

Try out different angle to the wind and see how it effects your speed. Try to manual sail while you turn. etc 1

Thank you @z4ys 1
z4ys Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) Try to fight trader AI ships. They will try to run away. so you can first practice aiming by shooting chain at them from behind (easier to get hits on the huge sails compared to the smal hull area). When you have solwed them down you can switch to shot their hull. They are now slower and easier to hit. Furthermore they have reduced crew. So with a litte bit of grape after you took off their side armor you can even try to board them. You can ask in your nation if someone is interested in doing sarting missions. Both get the mission reward after the battle. A sorrow shared is a sorrow halved. Edited January 25, 2018 by z4ys 1
blubasso Posted January 25, 2018 Author Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) Yesturday i learned how to sail upwind in OW. It’s fun: it’s not like driving a car, you have to think “in angles”, not in straight paths and i learned how to use protractor. But i really miss latiditude and longitude to make the “naval point” (the exact ship location at sea, i dunno how to say in english, this is a literally italian translation from the technical term). I miss the navigation tools, like in Silent Hunter, too. Here they should be very useful. Edited January 25, 2018 by blubasso
z4ys Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) If you are a pirate you can contact Baro89ita (ingame) he is italian as well. (like the VINO pirate clan) I guess he even will help you when you are not a pirate. ^^ Edited January 25, 2018 by z4ys

I created an american character, than i deleted it; now i am testing England and then... well, i will see. Edited January 25, 2018 by blubasso
