INSTRUCTIONS

Turn on the engine start key inside the bridge. The controller displays and helm displays button is beneath. To unlock top speed, turn key to the right of the helm or in the engine room.

TIPS

To refuel the helicopter, you have to connect a hose in the RHIB refuelling area to the helicopter deck nozzle. That will send fuel to the upper deck, where another hose can connect to the helicopter.
The helicopter starts off half fuelled, to avoid the ship being top heavy.
It is a narrow and long ship, with a high centre of gravity. During storms, use the ballast tasks and limit speed.
In case of an overturn, the ship can usually self correct. You can assist by controlling the side thrusters.
