The HangSim new Forum

Hi Everyone,

I have released today version 8.8 of Virtual Sailor NG, in this version the following updated were made:

• Bow and stern thruster power set as in VSF.
• Radar ranges made according to convention.
• Zoom button removed from radar.
• Radar circles can be hidden.
• Radar image does not fade.
• Additional objects rendered in radar.
• Added weapon lights.
• Added explosion lights.
• Moving vehicle to another point disconnect its docks.
• Added weapons dialog, also to keys and to telescope.
• Tug lines rendered as ropes not chains.
• Fixed bug of time goes too fast.
• Moved the front docking points to rear.
• Default panel made slightly transparent.
• Added rpm_rel, rpm1_rel, rpm2_rel instruments.
• Fixed bug with saving local panel.
• Anchors and moorings can be moved and placed on docks and water.

The main changes are the RADAR look and behavior, and the docking pick and move of ropes.
I would like to thank all the users who made excellent ideas and helped me make them,
special thanks to Makis Stefanatos and to Luca Vinelli this time.

I hope you like this new update.

Thanks,

Ilan

hello! it is always nice to see new improvements but still proper anchoring system is missing....

The list of fixes is impressive. Some of the older users will remember a lot of these fixes were requested a long time ago .
I have a problem that I can't understand other than Norton does not like downloads from hangsim.com. I just cannot download VSNG 8.8 this must be fairly recently as I have all the previous updates.
I don't think it is my setup as the PC is less than a month old with AMD Rysen 5 processor and a fibre network running Windows 11.
Has anyone else experience such problems ? I would be most interested in hearing how you solved it.

Many thanks

Victor

EDIT: Problem solved - switched browser. now to do some testing ! ! !
