Question: self-made-ships and speed

[LIRA]

Hello,

I made a own ship on base of submonica.

I double the most values (dwt, engine etc.).

Now I see, when I accelerate the ship, it takes up to 3 minutes, this ship comes from 0 to 36kn !!!
(I tried this be driving outside the ocean).

I changed alle values (length, dwt, engine kw, traegheit). I never get better results. The original submonica is within 20sec on top-speed.

Then I include a 850000kw-Enginge. The result was, acceleration take MORE time.

Can somie help me finding out the vorrect items to change that my ship comes a little bit faster to top-speed ?

Thanks
Mike

you need to try the combination of real values, more dwt increases the inertia for example, and a larger machine increases the fuel consumption also...
