3 Point Turns

I've used Transoft's Autoturn before and you could do a seamless 3 or 4 point turn for semi-trailers.

 

I can't seem to figure out how to do the same in Vehicle Tracking and none of the video tutorials show more complex moves.

 

Can someone point me in the right direction, or offer some hints please.

 

Thank you,

LB

Nevermind, I finally figured it out but it's very buggy /touchy, and it won't let you turn the wheels while the truck is stationary which makes the maneuvering excessively long & drawn out.

 

Also, make sure you turn off the Limit Forward Turn Rate & Limit Reverse Turn Rate options, which seem to be turned on automatically.

There is a way to do that - I recorded a quick video here:  https://youtu.be/LMc5PYj2bWI

 

Hope this helps.

Thank you Brian, that's very helpful. I couldn't figure out what the Spot option actually did, so seeing it being used is a game changer. I also never notice the reverse button since it's way in the back rather than being an option next to the forward button. I will definitely do a few practice sessions while re-watching your video.

 

Much appreciated.
