Hot Keys

If you find that clicking on the shifters, throttles, thrusters, and the rudder is too tedious, hot keys were added to make it easier to control the boat.

Rudder Control

For Windows and Mac Users – The left and right arrow keys or keys U and I operate the rudder. Each key press moves the rudder five degrees in the clockwise or counter clockwise direction. Hold down the arrow keys for rapid rudder change.

Thruster Control

For Windows and Mac Users – Q and W operate the Bow Thruster, while A and S operate the Stern Thruster. Hold down the key to keep the Thruster engaged. Hold down bother thrusters simultaneously to walk the boat toward the dock.
