From user Pete Harris:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love the simulator ! It’s great for developing muscle memory, so you can just focus on strategy when things get real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was a bit daunting trying to figure out what game controller to buy, coupled with the worry I was wasting my time, and would not be able to get things working on a Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what I came up with works great! Here’s exactly what I am running:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MacOS 10.14.5 Mojave, Chrome browser
Logitech Gamepad F310, around $20 on Amazon, switch on bottom set to D.
Mac application “Enjoyable” vers 1.2 for controller to hotkey mapping.
https:\/\/github.com\/darvin\/enjoyable<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mappings are VERY easy to set up. You just move a control and press the corresponding hotkey from the theboatdocker docs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can figure out your own mappings, but for a twin engine inboard with separate shifters\/throttles plus bow thruster, I was happy to use the joysticks for gear shifting, the back switches for throttles, and the X\/B buttons for bow thruster, and Back\/Start buttons for rudder control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t forget to hit the > button at the upper right hand corner of the Enjoyable window, or BoatDocker won’t see the controller!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
