rdklein · Posted: Fri May 09, 2008 12:40 pm Post subject: pocsim3dii rev 1.60 update

new version available:

Das update korrigiert einen fehler bei der verwendung von pocxxl zusammen mit pocsim3dii

The update corrects a communication fault from pocxxl to pocsim3dii. If any of the ships was used which are not loaded before (you can see this in the standalon showing a timer) then pocsim3dii crash when the ship is used from within pocxxl- Affected for example tanker, qm2, treylon -- e.g. all of the new ships.

Nice to see there is a new update coming.
Two questions:
- I remember there was an error in the lock sizes due to the implementation of the locks in 3DII. The movable locks took some width from the sailable area. Is this corrected already?
(I remember I uploaded a picture on this forum with info about the locks in the port of antwerp).
- I also posted in this forum a question about berthing places (especially for Antwerp, as that is my home port). A containership berthing at a shell loading dock, and a 4000 TUE containership berthing in a place where no ship is berthed since the 60's. Is this tackled?

thanks for the reminder I will check at Antwerpen - I remember I worked on this part, but was some time ago, so I can update this also.

I just search for, but the old links are not available with the info:

Indeed, planet internet is now completely part of kpn and the homepage directories are changed. So that's why the old images aren't available anymore.
Here are the images I posted accros this forum earlier:

This is a berthing spot you used for containers. It's actually Shell Antwerp. I've seen more wrong berthing spots btw. If you need more info I'll make some more images. I can give you exact positions for different types of vessels. Only the maximum DWT/TUE will be more difficult to check. This image is a close up of the region between the van Caewelaertsluis and royerssluis textblocks in the second image.

And the locks info:

RDK: google earth images removed after review due to copyright issues

And this is a problem in Naples, in 2Dsim. The parallel parked boats on the right in the head-side of the berths are giving the problems.

Thanks that helps, -- I just removed the google images (after printing), as there might be copyright issues.

Naples is corrected for the next pocxxl update. There is also an update on the map in 3d.

yes 2d and 3d are corrected usually at the same time.

-
for ships without bow and stern trhusters the only way to manoever out or in is to do a slow collision, which does not cause damage (0.001% or so), and using the forces to turn the ship. The ship without the trhuster are usually cargo ships and small and get other berth places anyway,

but if you discover a problem let me know and please make a screen dump like corn_mo did, so I can correct it. Its impossible for me to test all combinations myself (90 harbours x 20 berth places or so... x n ).

yes perfect, you can send a PM and an url in the mail, I will download.

I am just about on a complete rework of the 3d version of Antwerpen, it will get a large port indeed, der 3d file is now around 45 MB, mainly due the many oil tanks around.

This will go into the next update of course.

After the 3d rework I will also update the 2d version (for berth definitions which I started to change), currently I cant keep them in sync at the same time (as 3d work has been done already).

RDK: Tell me what info you need, or what needs to be verified. With google earth you can get a lot of info nowadays too but I'm more than willing to supply you with correct and updated info.
