dumb question regarding plotting course - 11/18/2020 8:14:04 AM

Hi

I have a really dumb question regarding plotting course. After having left clicked (with a unit selected), how do I deselect, if I change my mind and dont want to replot a new course/new waypoints? Doesnt seem like right clicking or hitting escape allows you to avoid replotting.

I have the same issue with targeting. I.e. I left click manual/auto targeting, but if I then change my mind, there doesnt seem to be a quick way of deselecting the targeting option

I am sure that I am simply overlooking something or should recheck the manual..

any help appreciated

After you're done plotting your course you can hit the Escape key or F3 to stop plotting.

I think, once you start plotting, the old course is gone and you must do something new. You cannot, "Quit before saving."

You can however move waypoints, add new ones using the Cntl key + Left Click etc and add set speed & alt settings for each waypoint. Very flexible if a bit quirky
