PLEASE STOP ENGINES??????????????

Seaaddict

Hi Rolf
Using the Poc3D11 in the main game, I find on selecting To take the Ship into Port without the aid of Tugs, that on completion of berthing the Ship, and Recieving the Message "Your Ship is in its Berth, Please Stop Engines" I am unable to do this due to the Facility for Stopping Engines is not available, and am consequently charged the Tug Fees.

Hi Rolf,
Having recieved and replied to your Information, having retried I found that The Home Key Was not effective and I was presented with paying Tug Fees, On each Commencement of the game I do a online Update request, but find no updates available, I assume I am either Fully up to date, or an Update has not been Affected by this Means

very strange, stopping the engines only means setting the speed to 0. (not switching off the main engine), then waiting a little bit, but you must be still in the berth place (usually you tend to drift further on, then you have to go revererse).

Hi Rolf,
This is fully understood, but my problem is co-current with all perameters fullfilled.
Engines Stopped Speed Zero.
Bow and Stern Thrusters Stopped, No Sideway Movement,
Ships Position Within the Parameters shown for the Berthing Position.
Result No Conclusion and Tug payment required as the only way to end the seesion is to use escape, irrespective of the length of time permited after berthing

which ship and berth harbour dies it happen (or does it happen to all),
I will check the whole again.
(also check the version of poc xxl - which are you using as the olders doent use the parameter file correctly).

do you get the message "you are in the berth... or so" or the message "stop ypur engines..." ?

Hi Rolf,
The Message recieved on berthing is "You are in your Berth- Stop Engines."

ah ok, so the final message does not appear. so the checkout doesnt work,

pelase tell me which ship and which harbour was used (as it might have to do with the berth place itself )

Hi Rolf.
It is all happening in Aalborg Harbour, The Ship I used was The Tanker, in Master Mode, I have tried the Tanker in Gothenberg and all worked Well

Hi Rolf
This morning in the early Hours I Tried for 2.5hrs But each Time Same Effect.
Harbour:- Point Hope.
Ships Used:- Tanker, Cargo (L), Liner.
Setting:- Master.
Reply for all Ship attempts:- "You Are In The Berth" "Stop Your Engine"
Throttles Zero, Thrusters Zero, Home Key Pressed.
Only Possible way to conclude the Session was to use the ESC Key.
Is it Possible the Home Key Command is not Responding.

yes the new update will have fixed it (there was another thread about master mode problems, in which I explained it already) for the master and tanker and some other ships wrong sizes were in the program, so the berth does not fit.

just entered the port of point hope with a liner in master level.
stopped engine : end
stopped bow : ctrl/pos1
stopped stern : shift/pos1

everything worked fine ???
