Radar antenna rotating speed, amount and Replays

Post by axevon »

Hi!

Longtime player of VS/VSF/VSNG!

I've always been quite disturbed with the slow rotating radar antennas, I've managed to make a animated "pilot" to make the antennas rotate faster, but as it is so time cunsuming to make this it would be greatly appriciated with a for example:"[radar1speed 11]" in the parts.cfg. Also the ability to have more than two radars, many ferries have up to 5 radars.(Bow, top mast 3x, stern and so on).

One other thing i'd really like to see is longer replays (atleast 1-2hrs) for AI traffic, The creme de la creme would be for them to work in multiplayer with AIS visibility in OpenCPN.

Thanks for a great simulator, the best one out there!

I have emailed about the slow rotating speed to Ilan since 2008. I have never got explanation despite of asking directly about it multiple times. Still waiting it to be fixed.

I can send you a link to my Furuno X-band animated Radar antenna if you like, also have a Wärtsilä S-band antenna, these are with the gearbox in the same object. :) These ones you can set speed in the *.cfg, and you can have as many as you like!
