Title: ship sim big waves idea
Post by: jayhawk cruises on June 19, 2010, 06:02:48: i have a great idea!I was watching the show "deadliest catch"and i thought "It would be great if ship sim came out with an update for biger waves" so i watched the show and they said the waves were as high as 30 meters.It would be great if a 30 meter wave add-on came out!

There is a 'loophole' that some people have used, in V1.0, which is closed down in all newer versions.
With an illegal file edit, that will lose you your rights to technical support and your warranty, you can make the waves higher, but the ships will not behave realistic, nor will it look very good.

Higher waves than that do occur in some places: Bass Strait, for example.

Post by: mvsmith on June 23, 2010, 19:42:51: Better than taking a sailing yacht through it, as happened.

Post by: matt5674 on July 11, 2010, 07:19:01: You don't have to sell it.
and 150 foot wall of water? That's Insane! If Bass Strait is in SSE with those type of waves, danger, Poseidon's Cursed waters :evil:

Post by: mvsmith on July 11, 2010, 07:32:11: Unfortunately, Bass Strait is not in SSE, but it does point out that extreme waves, such as that 140-footer, are beyond the ability of any ship to handle. So there is little point in having such waves in SS.
Title: Re: ship sim big waves idea
Post by: jayhawk cruises on July 11, 2010, 18:25:25: 50 foot waves would be cool thought
Title: Re: ship sim big waves idea
Post by: mvsmith on July 11, 2010, 18:36:44: It is certainly possible for the ships in SS to react realistically in 50-foot wavesâ€¦ by capsizing and sinking.
