The liferaft rescue seems close to impossible at the moment. I've tried RDK's suggestion of keeping the same speed/direction (+/- 10%), but have failed all 4 attempts.

What do everyone else think?

Indeed the few times that I have enabled 2D simulation, I found it very difficult: even when visually I could obtain a very good match in speed and angle, I failed. I think life raft speed is too high.

Cheers,

I got it one time, dont know how. the raft was very slow. if i remember right, i drove from back in a different angle than the raft, crossing his way. made the speed nearly equal, after the bow passed the raft and the ways from both come closser, i steer away from the raft smooth. In the moment from contact it was a crackin sound, and i thought, damn i killed them again. But on the screen was written, u made it. Dont know if i can do that again. But if the raft is fast, i couldt´nd get it. Or i crashed it.

Greetings

Cliff
