You can download it from here it's a add one for reduced draft  Creator's Forum

so if you install that, then you can sail like this

You ever driven a VLCC in ballast condition in real life?  :P

If im right, the new manoeuvering characteristics are determind with the real deal via wheelhouse posters.

No i don't, but it turns 360 degrees so fast if you tow it with Bugsier :)

The ballast change will make it look like Latitude is empty and made all that towing look easier. ;D

Ah! If its easy, i dare you to tow the VLCC through the south entrance and the narrow lock. Post a video to proof it  ;D  :2thumbs:

Out of interest, does the reduced draft Lat provide a second Lat with lower draft, or just raise the orginal Lat up itself?

It will replace the loaded VLCC. Be aware which one you download. People with another version of the VLCC can't tow you in MP and you'll look bouncy to them!

OK Thanks  :thumbs:

I'll stick to the loaded one then.

I doubt empty ones get moved around a lot...
