Interesting, how did you grab the map? Screenshot or some export function? And which map background file did you replace in VS? I tried it with a scenery map but that resulted in a strange look. Thanks for a heads up. Hi, first I opened the default map.jpg and enlargened it from 2048x2048 in Photos...

I found out that you can modify and enlarge any scenery map.jpg background image used in map viewer in VS and replace it with whatever map you have(with some palette restrictions).

This time continuing with basic ship handling. I checked the default boat specifications in VS and there is no mention of rotation of the propellers. The rotation direction of the propeller leads to transverse thrust, eg you can turn the ship only by using the engine. This video demonstrates the eff...

The collision triggers many primary and secondary bridge system alarms ve...

I wanted to open this thread is for feature requests for VS NG. I am glad Ilan is continuing the development of the maritime aspect. VS has always been the best(and only) ship simulator software that is easily moddable. For starting my request coming from complexity of MSFS I would like to see more ...
