Fremdes Schiff kreuzt

Hi,

when i get the message "Ship is crossing" before berthing in a harbour, in 95% of all cases my ship is damaged (in expert mode).

No chance of reaction when it comes a ship about 500m in front of me and i have 15 knts. It takes too much time until the ship changes direction/speed.

I made now 20 Sessions in the training mode. No way.
How can i preserve my ships from damages???

I think this part of the game is not really realistic.

which ship have you used in the trainging so I can check,
the behavior is totally different for each ship (as its combined with another one).
As strategy immediatly change the course to left or right with full speed.

Hello Mr. Klein,

i used different ships (actual 12)
addon ships and "normal" ships. Tanker, Bulk, Liners, Container ...
For example: Liner "Royal Princess" - Tanker "Al Awdah" "Front Tartar" - COntainer "Hyundai Admiral"

Also in the training mode i used different ones.
Sometimes i have (wiht the same "adon" ship) a great radar range (little silhouette in the middle) and somtimes a very little one (big silhouette and only 3 or 4 circles around the ship). Bizarre.

The only ships that worked good was the SS United States and the Hyundai Admiral because of the speed i think.

attention, you used user addon ships ???
they dont have an assigned ship shape I think this is the cause. Currently the user addons are not fully supported.

Have you tried with the original ships,
the tanker "Al Awdah" is not my ship I havent tested it in the ship radar.
The ship needs a ply file (this is not good suppported for addon ships at the moment),

anyway we just prepare an update for pocxxl, I will see what I can add for user addon ships.

for entering a port, 15 knots is a very high speed, some old seafarers say fullspeed = foolspeed.
maybe the problem with the damage can be solved by a reduced speed.

yes a good idea we can do this.

I thought the speed in the simulation was still under discussion? Cause of the long time it takes to sail through some harbours?

in this case its the speed in the radar collision event from foreign ships when I understood right -- not in the normal simulation (according to the thread title)

-

i wont change the max speed in the harbous as then the trips take even longer than now.

you mean for example the jahre viking,
yes it is , I probably have to change the scale for the radar view for such ships, so you have a longer distance and move the other ship further away.
