Usage

Take Off

- enter vehicle
- hold 'F', power on
- hold 'F', start engine
- strafe up (space, or joystick-hat)
- strafe forwards
- initiate cruise-control ('C')
- throttle forwards away from space station
- raise landing gear ('L')

Quantum Leap

NOTE:

• If a quantum leap target is obstructed, try flying to a nearby planet, and jumping from there.
• If spooling is misbehaving, clear selection then reselect.

- mobiglass (F1)
- skyline tab  # lmb(rotate), mmb(zoom), rmb(move)
- click a space station, or system
- spool quantum drive ('B')
- point ship at target, wait for spool to complete
- engage quantum drive (hold 'B')

Landing

- hold 'F', refresh communications when near space station
- hold 'F', contact space station (wifi signal)
- fly around space station, landing pad will be highlighted in neon coloured square
- deploy landing gear ('L')
- strafe into landing pad to land

ReFuel

- land at a station. Olisar normally works, R&R are hit/miss (v3.6).
- without leaving cockpit, mobiglass (F1) and go to the repair/refuel tab
- click on the options you'd like
- click 'accept'
