Hi all,
Yesterday when I was checking the Ship Sim Facebook page I noticed a picture of a new pilot boat and when I looked there again today there was another picture of it.
Does anybody know more datails on this? Are we getting a new addon pack?
I attached the pics for anybody who hasn't seen them.
Kind Regards
Joey

Here is another pic. ;D

Will this be before or after the patch that fixes the bouncing...?
Cause it seems... unsual to add more vessels to the game when the bouncing issues haven't be sorted... :/
And before or after the CCC Vessels, on which all have become quiet...
*Sorry, thats just my opinion... just seems you guys are giving yourself a lot to do... :/
-
Thanks, Swenson ;D
It seems to be a very nice model -I'm looking forward to sail it.

I agree with TFM, new ships won't make the game any better. A new patch does!

We are currently testing and fine tuning the a patch that has a fix for the bouncing issues and multiplayer towing bug. There are also some other cool new features in it, but I can't say anything about that, yet..

So roughly how long before we stop bouncing then...?
Cause I sunk after bouncing Albatross IV in NY, so its getting annoying now - especially after a year... :/

So it will bee a new add-on?
-
It looks a lot like the Pilot boat from the Yacht simulator which also is possible to play in the Vehicle Simulator. At least so do they look much the same in my eyes.
I can not find a picture of it, but I have it in my computer and sail it in Vehicle Simulator(Vhs).
-
May a bit of topic, but I realy hope that "everything"(all bugs) are fixed in this patch, with out creating new bugs. Cause this new ship gave me a bad feeling, according to the one year history of this game. Vstep have give out the ferry ships, the contest which usually should have made the game a lot better, but there is a big but. This extras have come before the game was fixed. So my feeling is that now there is coming a new ship with new problems, but I honestly hope that I am wrong about this. And I also hope that Vstep have take time to fix all ships, like steering positions. The steering position of Marbella is like you have your head at the same level as the steering wheel of that boat.
And if this ship come out before the contest ships and enviroment, I consider that as a "smash in the face" of the winners of that contest.

Weird I played SSE today but before it seems that Steam intalled a update and thats what my map looks like.
-

The deeper the colour, the shallower the water. The lightest colour is deep.

Ahh OK :thumbs:
Thanks :)

::)
That new chart is looking far more professional than the old one. Now we just need better depth marks.
I like it ;)

this is a proper chart

Nice .... Pilot boat that i have seen

I like how the picture of the exterior of the pilot boat in the first post appears rather cropped..

Isnt the IALA system meant to be Starboard as green triangles and Square for port thought I might just mention it in case.

And what if the ship goes the other way...? ;)

It is the IALA System. If you look closely, it is a portion of the chart in New York. The U.S. follows the Region B of the IALA System, in which it is "red to starboard". This is also followed by South America, the Philippines, Japan and Korea. Europe and most Asian countries follow Region A where it is "red to port".
Please see attachment for overview of the IALA Buoyage System
And what if the ship goes the other way...? Wink
Buoyage always gives emphasis for entry into a port and are arranged to keep the red buoys on the port side & green buoys on the starboard side (in Region A) and vice versa in Region B. So when sailing out it is quite normal to have a red buoy on your starboard side (Region A)
-
So im just wondering why would they have 2 regions then.
Shipmate101
-
The system of buoys developed independently in the Western hemisphere—principally in the US and Canada. In the US, it developed first on the Mississippi River.
When the first hazard on that river was marked, red seemed to be the natural choice for the color. That hazard happened to be on the East side of the river. Another reason often given was that it was done to confuse the Brits if they tried to come upriver to take St. Louis.
Canada followed the same convention because we share the St. Lawrence River—to do otherwise would have made navigating that river exciting.
Our B system spread to countries in the Western Pacific by our heavy trade in that area, and our publishing of charts by the Hydrographic Office under Mathew Maury.
European nations trading in that area had their own charts, of course. That theirs were not adopted locally might be due to their being considered proprietary commercial or military “secrets†by those nations.
-
This system, I thought it was created for and by IMO(International Maritime Organisation(a Un organisation)). But I am far from sure about that, just something I have read but it is some time ago so it can have been changed in my memory.
-
Neither the IMO or the UN existed in the Nineteenth Century. By the time that IMO came along, both systems were so firmly established that it was not feasible to change either one.

Mvsmith, yes of cource, I had mixed it up. Thanks for clearing it up.
In this new patch are we getting some more "bouys"? Like everyone who have seen a nautical map or have been out in any form of boat have seen that there is many many more things in the water than just red and green bouys, like for example we have "bouys" for ground and even marks for different directions of the ground. I would realy like to see some more of them in the game. Of cource not all that would not be needed but some of them be realy nice and lift the game a lot.
-
Thanks for your explanation mvsmith.

Yep, even STEAM bounced back, I wonder what held up the release, as Steam thought it should have been ! ;D
-

Its the week After now...
and Still no update on possible release dates... :-\
-
how many days has it been since swenson promised a release date a week later?
its definetly been a while.
but its been even longer since the last update came out, so that means (hopefully) that they are working hard to get it done, which means that theres alot of stuff in it, so if they're working hard on it and if its been months since the last patch came, then update 1.4 should come soon.
i'm guessing a month or so.

He never promised anything .......

Ähm...sounds cool...but...what about the next update and the CCC implementations???? They should have more priority...
...I know what you will say now...they are working on multiple projects at a time and work already sooo hard on the update...then hurry on...
Butt anyway...I´m looking forward to the missions... ;-)
