Virtual Sailor 9.5 is out

[admin]

Hi Everyone,

Today I have uploaded version 9.5 of Virtual Sailor NG, the following items were fixed:

1) Fixed bug in ambient lighting in scene.

Visible especially at sunset and sunrise, the ambient lighting we had did not reflect the color of the sky, this was fixed,
now also the scene will be darker at night when there is no moon, and more realistic at sunsets and sunrises.

2) Tide amplitude adjusted to scale in feet.

2) Fixed displacement waves not working in replay.

3) Added output of wave period in seconds.

4) Saving docking points positions for docked boats.

This will fix docking positions being saved and restored properly when ship is docked.

5) Fixed mean water level in advanced dialog does not return to zero.

6) Saving fuel state, sails state, auto pilot state in situation.

Now everything is saved and restored in situations, the sails reefs, the fuel state, the engine state, the auto pilot speed and heading and more.

7) Added fuel adjustment slider.

8) Radar turns when engine is on at 1.333 sec per revolution.

This applies to the visual part of the radar part, rate of rotation same as radar instrument update rate.

9) Fixed bug in rendering wake twice in RADAR for own vehicle.

This will prevent a small stutter we had before when seeing own ship in radar.

10) Added speed reading to fps data.

Press Control + W to switch through modes.

I hope you enjoy this update and that all works fine,

Thanks,

Ilan

Hi every one please can you add possibility of adjusting
Trim and list of ship to create more realistic situations
Because in real navigation trim and list are very important parameters.

^^^Love it! I was playing with cargo in Vehicle Simulator to achieve the same effect and not having any luck.

Hi everyone
If possible to update the virtual sailor NG by this proposition
Ship anchorage area are detailed in real navigation charts
So can the anchorage system must be adjusted for only determined depths for example not possible anchorage at depth of 150 m
And also please can you update the trim and list adjust
For ships in the principal window to improve the reality of this simulator.
Thanks for this simulator and hope to be developed more in the future.
