No problem! @SpiritusRaptor
Thanks
@LegendaryPilot
This is epic!
@SpiritusRaptor This is very uncontrollable on Mobile. Plus, activation groups won’t work sadly
You have been passed... Get building :)
Oh well...
@jamesPLANESii
BogdanX is just 1K points away...
Hmm, manual steering doesn’t seem to work on iOS and heading steering does even without selecting the action group
whoa! two amazing builds in a day!
you gotta cool down
Thanks!
@Zanedavid
Beautiful shape, really like the colors too
Detached life preserver at 130 kts... stayed alongside boat had a race...
Two things I've noticed on iOS
This and your Higgins troop carrier go backwards in fast forwards (strange)
And normal steering doesn't work but heading select steering does (less strange)
Yep, read the control manual, that may help :)
@ToadOad
This was an early concept.

@asteroidbook345
@SpiritusRaptor ok
@SpiritusRaptor I said Overall it’s a nice build but the controls are a bit funky and difficult
The name, just because he does good quality builds... @TheFantasticTyphoon
I remember... and there may be a funky way to do this!!!!
@asteroidbook345
What did you say?@ToadOad
@asteroidbook345
Oh, ok.
Why did you put someone's name in big letters in the comments?
@asteroidbook345
You can make an auto-targeting system. Someone made one about a year ago. I don't know what happened after that.
Kinda... not really... a GPS system... point at the target and it will keep pointed at it using current heading (if that makes sense)
