Ship Maneuvering Simulator
- Better collision detection
- Improvements to NPC ships: more NPC ships + improved NPC autopilots. They will run down the river sticking to their SB side as much as possible. You can switch the NPC ships on or off from the Settings/Ships menu.
- Performance improvements for weaker devices
This simulator will give you a realistic experience of what it's like to handle a large ship. It includes some features which often seem to be missing in other simulators:- Improvements to NPC ships: more NPC ships + improved NPC autopilots. They will run down the river sticking to their SB side as much as possible. You can switch the NPC ships on or off from the Settings/Ships menu.
- Performance improvements for weaker devices
- Astern effect of the propeller
- Drift during turn
- Pivot point movement
- Rudder effectiveness based on propeller flow and ship's own velocity
- Bow thruster effectiveness influenced by ship's velocity
For the moment there are three ships (cargo ship, supply ship and battle ship). In the future more may be added.
The game is played in a sandbox style with a sea, river and port environment. In the future I plan to also add current and wind effect.
The simulation is based on the mathematical hydrodynamic MMG model which is also used in professional ship handling and mooring simulators.
