[Not enough Delay on "F" key--the Key changes to fast]

I had noticed this problem with the F key from manual to auto skipper and was'n't too bothered by it, now  I am playing around with Voice Attack and so far have not got the timing of the commands sorted in order to eliminate the problem.

Still learning VA it's a WIP and good fun.

I can recommend 'The Art of Ship Modelling' by Bernard Frolich.

[Trim all sails properly - Will we be able to manually adjust?]

I agree with you Destraex, perhaps a choice of control modes would work  as in flight sim Normal and Complex engine management.

 

Re drag sail, iirc it was used as a drogue towed behind to fool the enemy into thinking the Surprise was slower than she was, though it's been 10 years since I read the series, I've started again at the beginning!
