I have a question to developer

could you in a future improvement of manoeuvring screen 'steer by hand' during entering /leaving a port or passaging a straight to add some traffic (other vessels moor/unmooring, steering through channels) , wind effect ?

I suppose in 2d game it would be more interesting and realistic as avoid at present some cutters or ferries in a port

[rdklein]

indeed there is a traffic in some of the harbours, a polyline is used for this purpose. either for ferries or for standard ships.

Thank you RDK for instant response,
I know that function of game as in some harbours occurs

I actualy have imagined a future modification on this screen as described:

Leaving a port

-Effect like blowing wind towards the quay or tidal stream make the unmmoring job more difficult and interesting (after ropes realease)

-steering to outer harbour (prob.pilot station- blue arrow) incoming vessels or (adjustable??) ports traffic (yachts,crossing ferries) would increase the motivation to use the ''steer by hand option" and offer more reality handling to situation.

Arrival aroad
-should the ship wait for a specific time(anchor,lay-up) due to busy, traffic or after the berthing(blue arrow) would be available and clear of draft clearance (shipmax_draft vs alongside pier allowable draft) ?

I am sure that you will improve on to next update some functions on the game

yes that would be a great feature. we will try the best

[cbisti]

that is terrific -thanks a lot

Could you please inform if the movement of any ship (during maneuvering) is determined by some parameter(s) in ship.xml file?

Mostly thought on <traegheit> or <sndoffset> details


Best regards
