ahhhh so thats thats what it is, i've seen you post that picture several times :D
-
the rubber is missing from the pic
-
I think you'll find every shipsim vessel except the Bugsier has something missing ;)
I've counted and there are more errors on the Pride of Rotterdam than the Titanic, but i'm not so rude to make a list :)
-
WOW! Out of curiousity, What exactly did you do that made the ship capsize?
-
Put the anchors down just before she hits 5 knots ;)
-
Okay-y-y. I'll keep in mind not to sail on anything you're piloting (lol)
-
Put the anchors down just before she hits 5 knots ;)
same works with the Latitude!
-
on the red jet 4 you can can allmost flip it over end ways
-
The same works with Sherpa.
It's a pity you can't drop the anchor at speeds above 5kts, the results would be even more spectacular!!!
-
Every ship in the game is affected by this trick in some way - except the Red Eagle of course, that doesn't have any anchors ;D
Try this with the Northern Star fishing vessel and Igor.K too, you'll be amazed ;)
-
isnt that shallow water beacause its in a port
-
it was pretty deep i had 7 meters to the bottom you know for a small port
-
isnt that shallow water beacause its in a port
Just drop the anchor just before you reach 5kts, you will be amazed
-
Does a real ship in the real world also capsize when the anchors are lowered while the ship has some speed? Or is it a bug in Shipsim? I managed to capsize the Pride of Rotterdam in the Nieuwe Waterweg. You could let your ship capsize in the multiplayer mode, then you are playing a ship's disaster.

Depends. In most situations a ship will drag her anchors along the sea bed, but if the anchors catch a strong hold on something like a massive rock, or a shipwreck, then it could do some serious damage. Having said that, the POR's anchor chains and winches e.t.c probably wouldn't be strong enough to pull her under, since they'd have to be strong enough to lift the whole ship in the air in order to overcome her displacement. But an anchor could probably roll a ship onto its side in certain circumstances, if the anchor was down on one side and the ship was moving at speed.

Capsizing the Pride of Rotterdam by dropping her anchors at a speed just below 5 knots isn't possible in the multiplayer mode.
-
the rubber is missing from the pic
The RUBBER!!? what rubber? :o
In some parts of the world a rubber is almost unmentionable!! ;D
-
I did this to the POR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HknqN3DKNoQ and it's my most popular video on my YouTube channel.

Also, the anchor chain is attached to the the frame work, which isnt strong enough to support the entire weight of the ship. It's also designed to be something of a weak link, so in all likely hood, the shackle would just rip itself out and the anchor chain would come all the way out of the chain locker, and down into the sea....

which is what I meant by the chains and winches not being strong enough...
