Detaching from airship

[sail64]

In the journey mission, it says to use 'rudder' to detach from the zeppelin trapeze. What exactly does this mean? I've used the rudder on my joystick and the yaw buttons and I remain firmly hooked no matter what I do.

Hi,

Step 1 : throttle to 0.
Step 2: try to gain some lift by pulling your stick.
Step 3: If this doesn't work, use the rudder.

The game says to use rudder as it is the best way to add some drag to the aircraft, as you want it to move slower than the airship.

Please tell me if this helped you.
Thanks.

It was setting the throttle to zero that did it. In real life when detaching from an airship you ran the throttle up to full before detaching so that's what I was doing. When I set the throttle to zero and pulled back on the stick the plane detached immediately. I would suggest adding that to the instructions. Thank you for your help. It's a marvelous little game and I am enjoying it very much. By the way, without wishing to cause any offence, would you like some help editing the English dialog? I would be happy to do so (without charge).

Thanks!
