Beschrijving

This simulator will give you a realistic experience of what it's like to handle a large ship. It includes some features which often seem to be missing in other simulators:
- Astern effect of the propeller
- Drift during turn
- Pivot point movement
- Rudder effectiveness based on propeller flow and ship's own velocity
- Bow thruster effectiveness influenced by ship's velocity

For the moment there are three ships (cargo ship, supply ship and battle ship). In the future more may be added.

The game is played in a sandbox style with a sea, river and port environment and customisable current. I plan to also add wind effect.

The simulation is based on the mathematical hydrodynamic MMG model which is also used in professional ship handling and mooring simulators.

Versie 0.14

- Better collision detection
- Improvements to NPC ships: more NPC ships + improved NPC autopilots. They will run down the river sticking to their SB side as much as possible. You can switch the NPC ships on or off from the Settings/Ships menu.
- Performance improvements for weaker devices

Great!

Looks great and the simulation model quite realistic, except a couple things. Ships tend to drift way too much; on the new cruise ship the bow thruster is quite underpowered and very slow to react. I can only get about 10 deg/min with 100%, only after a couple of minutes and with the ship no making way.
Otherwise really great, was waiting for this for such a long time!

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I'll increase the cruise ship's bow thruster power in the next update
