Hodo 147 Posted January 9, 2019 Just turn the rudder with the sails at 0, you will turn in place, real slow but you will turn in place. IF the ship can fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunatly it wont turn all the way, not enough space.. Only space here is to go in frontal or backwards.. Edited January 9, 2019 by ThisWayisUP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hodo 147 Posted January 9, 2019 This is where they should revert the wind "fix" and let us sail backwards if the wind is right. Or at least pull a ship with a dingy and a few people rowing and grappling hooks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThisWayisUP 27 Posted January 9, 2019 Yeah but if the reverse option was just working it would also be good xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They had to rely on the sails and the wind or have longboats pull them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThisWayisUP 27 Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Nothing in this game is like IRL and it is an option in the game that worked until today, at least in this case. So thats not a problem at all, the problem is it doesnt work. Reverse is an option in the game. i would not mind a total simulator according how stuff works IRL btw but then everything in the game should be removed lol.

ThisWayisUP 27 Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Got it out eventually, but it still does not back up at all. Is the reverse parking option only working for handling sails? I have multiple sloops, all with medium handling sail back up, the one with a medium speed sail does not.. Edited January 9, 2019 by ThisWayisUP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neokai 0 Posted January 24, 2019 Was the answer to this problem ever figured out? I'm currently having the same problem. Nothing touching the boat, but can't back up. tried backing up on other ships and it works fine. i can turn back and forth on the one that's stuck but not all the way around without damaging the hull. So I'm stuck until I can back up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tobekan 28 Posted January 24, 2019 It would be a awesome feature to be able to tug other ships with yours. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shintai 117 Posted January 24, 2019 Sailing backwards works fine on ships. Hold S to back up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I'm stuck until I can back up. I had this same problem when blown ashore by a 'hurricane' and got jammed between a pier and a sloop. The only reason I got out was the owner of the sloop moved it which gave me the space to turn around. It appears that if you are in shallow water, even though the hull is not touching the bottom, reverse is disabled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fopfumaster 10 Posted January 24, 2019 if you hold the S key you will back up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nox 56 Posted January 24, 2019 Actually you always have the option of moving ships with poles or towing with ropes from land. Ships were moved this way too when in confined spaces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davos 0 Posted February 16, 2019 When Reverse stops working on my server, a grid server bounce fixes the issue. The only need to bounce the one grid and reverse works again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Themicles 0 Posted February 16, 2019 I have run into this a few times now. I have managed to fix it every time by opening the sails a tiny bit and then immediately furling them again. The reverse function then starts working. Not sure if this is related to having NPC crew on sails, have not yet tested that. But I suspect it may be just that.

Jean Lafitte 451 Posted February 16, 2019 I've had it happen both with and without npc's. Got stuck in an inlet yesterday with a brig. Had to rip half the planks to bits turning it around because it wouldn't back up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zhoutai 12 Posted February 16, 2019 Tested on my 3 speed sail brig and its working fine for me, so it doesn't seem like they changed anything, double check you still have S as your back key in controls but other than that I'm stumped sorry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
