But free add-ons should not entirely disappear, because not every buyer of Virtual Sailor NG can afford paid add-ons. But paid add-ons could be add-ons which have a much better graphics quality and have more features than free add-ons. Of course, free add-ons don't be disappearing never, on a marke...

I sorry to read this and I understand you. Honestly I suggest you make a market of Verified Add-ons for Virtual Sailor, and take a percent of every sale. The times of free add-ons are part of past and now everything is for sale, you have right to take a little part of these cake verifying that add-o...

This is the official forum of Virtual Sailor and that's why I asked here. I hope that new updates are cooking for Virtual Sailor and patch the NMEA problem :idea: Is Virtual sailor NG entirely dependent on Ilan Papini himself? If that's true, it will not be a good thing for further development and m...

From the last update I don't have seen any news about Virtual Sailor NG. Also have reported a problem with NMEA connection, that are sending empty sentences after last update. With the 9.8.8 VSNG version, NMEA work for you?

Regards

This bug is caused by the Autosave every 10 seconds option. If the problem continues after apply the update how ekeimaja say to you, you need to disable this option.

Thank you Ilan! I seen that NMEA is not working fine for me. OpenCPN receive empty sentences with this new update. Anyone had experiment this?

For future updates you can allow us to edit the IP address of NMEA window.

Thank you Northfeeder. You are right. For now is not a good idea. Maybe in a future with new capabilities of the VS engine we can do it!

Hi sailors. I have made some tests sceneries for VSNG, but I want to know alternatives to 3DEM to process and export to Virtual Silor terrain on high resolution on LIDAR format. Anyone has experience on this?

Regards

Thank you Ilan for another update. Transitions are the best of it. Please note that I have discovered a bug: when have "autosave every 10 seconds" function checked, every 10 seconds I can see a "flash" of GPS panel on middle of screen. Thank you!

This is an awesome feature! Maybe we can build a good links list of harbors VHF radio sounds to download and put into our vessels to improve the simulation experience.

Regards

Hello Sailors. I have not seen either option for "soft shadow" on Virtual Sailor NG, but I see that from some time ago the shadows are visually optimized, now are a little more softer, but the high consumption is a serious problem on large vessels that have activated the "bump map&quo...

Hi, you need to center object to 0,0,0 and export in .x format "prop.x" and "rudder.x". Also you can export entire ship model with prop and rudder, but you need to rename prop and rudder correctly to allow VS detect it (rename objects in your 3D design software before export). Pl...

Thank you!

Hi guys, anyone knows if Virtual Sailor NG is compatible with Oculus Rift or Quest 2?

Regards

Hi, the draft value are represented by [boat_alt] parameter on vehicle.cfg file.

Fixed thrusters too strong when using the panel controls. Hi Ilan, thank you for this awesome work :) Please note that bow and stern thrusters in real life have specific power kW for each one. Usually on merchant vessels with bow and stern thrusters the bow thruster have more power than stern thrus...

You are right about the elements, I have chosen to create my ships without the elements.cfg file for this reason, but I recognize that only with the basic configuration of vehicle.cfg they work really well and I find more realism than VSF.

Hi sailors! Please anyone had attempted to build a vessel with variable pitch propeller? I seem that Virtual Sailor NG support one option called "vpitch - variable pitch propeller" (ever according to the documentation: http://www.hangsim.com/virtual-sailor/creating-vehicles.php). I have te...

Thank you Northfeeder, this helped me a lot! I prefer the high resolution data. Awesome!

Hi guys, anyone know online sources to get elevation data to make Virtual Sailor sceneries?

Thanks in advance

I have the same problem

Hi all, very good suggestions I want to suggest also one of the most important things of a navigation simulator: Magnetic Declination with True Course and Magnetic Course to bring a very truly realistic navigation experience on the simulator.
