Changing Carrier Direction


Recommended Posts

Friar and Bloke kindly told me how you can change a ships direction by using the numpad. This morning, I loaded a new map and placed a Lexington carrier on the map. While the object was still flashing, I pressed Numpad 1 then 5 then 7 then 9. Nothing happened and the direction did not change.

Anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong? I also checked the mission building guide and followed the instructions there.

Jim,

The ship will change direction when you plot a waypoint. You used a moving ship. The rotaion with the keypad numbers only works on stationery objects.

When you use the ctrl and left click to plot a waypoint from the object, it will re-orientate to that direction.

the numberpad keys will not work in this instance.

Cheers

Colin

Remember to put several waypoints in the turn to keep it from being too sharp and to look more realistic. Remember to check the speed as well, and keep in mind that the default speeds are in kmh and are very slow. Your CV should be going around 30 knts, which is about 50kmh I think. I always put a very high number to make sure its going max speed. Remember to do the same wiht any escorts.
