Here is a sneak preview of the how the ship sinks in the upcoming patch.
As a sailor I absolutely do not enjoy watching ships sink... so I tried to take a few shots while closing my eyes... ;)

Nice :) no tell , what more will it be in the patch , will it be more realistic bridges, more instruments and so. or are the only thing that,s fixed ship sinking and score ?
Greatings from Norway

i think the patch only has the sinking and score for now
-
I see a "mission failed" thing pops up after sinking. Will that window pop up in free mode too? Or is that already in free mode?

Hi dragongfx! :)
I cannot garantee that all the following features will be in the patch, but as you can see from the pictures posted around the forum there are several
new instruments:
- rudder indicators
- compas
- rev counters
- radars
- VHFs (only for decoration so far)
New vessels:
- Hovercraft
- Jetski
New features:
- Save function
- Ranks
- Internet stats
- Sinking
- Mission editor
- Relative speed condition (when transferring people and connecting lines)
Fixes:
Mission bugs
Better ship's dynamics
Ship's nav. lights
Hmm... I guess that was all what I could think of...
Regards
groennegaard

Thank u. it,s look we got a great sim after all. after the fix on the bugs and so on. :)

-

To clerify things i was talking to DJM, and the coming features are as follows.
The hovercraft and jetski
the new bridges

Hiya all :)
Here's one of the RPA 12 sinking ;)
Bow first ;)
-
And how long did that take please? :)
-
And how long did that take please? :)
Not too long, but I had battered her quite a lot before she sank :D

thanks!
-
thanks!
No problem :D
I should've explained a little more, it was roughly 4 minutes from last hit into the wall to final sinking ;)
-
That's a good long time compared to the 4 secs bug!
-

Indeed, I guess it depends on where she first starts taking on water.......only guessing though ;)
-
yup! was that in free roam?
-
It was, just tried the Water Taxi in Mission mode, sinks quicker, but it is a smaller vessel ;)
Regards.
DJM.
-
I cant wait! THE PATCH IS HERE TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D Jet ski must be cool in the open sea :o
-
Yeah, in 4 metres high waves ;D

I love how you get the bubbles that appear when you sink. That's really good!
-
did you go get the bailing buckets :p
-

-

:D :D :D
-
is this dynamic physik sinking or a script?
and sinks the titanic in 2h or in 2min?
-
its a physical story.
When your ship get damaged more and more, it will sink. The sinking need some time, depend of the ships size.
Until now i did not try the TITANIC.
cheers

-

-
There bata testers ;)
-

Cool pics testers. Cant wait for the patch. ;)

when the patch comes out, will a ship be able to sink with a hole like this? (the hole is on the patrol boat)
-
No problem :D
I should've explained a little more, it was roughly 4 minutes from last hit into the wall to final sinking ;)
DJM. I don't know what to say. I'm speechless (for once) Never thought I'd hear you being a vandal :O

I haven't been testing the beta myself, but if it has damage under the water line it will sink.

Hiya all :)
Ok, to keep you guys happy (and me sad :'( :'(), I did try to sink Titanic but I messed up ::)
I did get some great shots though :D
-
A couple more ;)
-
There are passengers on the Forward Well Deck!? Are they always there? I've never seen them before or are they jus there in the missions?
-
Those shots were taken from Bottman's Ice Cold mission, available in the Missions board:
http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,2085.0.html
Please note, you will need a registered licence key to access this area :)
Regards.
DJM.
Edit: Only available in 'selected' missions with passengers :)
-
Awesome men!
Cant wait until friday!!
Hopefully your Friday afternoon should be my fridayr morning/midday! ;D
-
Hiya all :)
Ok, to keep you guys happy (and me sad :'( :'(), I did try to sink Titanic but I messed up ::)

u just should have used the first iceberg like i did.
-
u just should have used the first iceberg like i did.
I think half of it was subconscious. I didn't want to really sink her, so I guess I subconsciously avoided the icebergs ::)
-
ok. its just a suggestion. if i had the patch i would hit that one and sink her because its so easy to hit. plus, if u try the titanic, can u please tell me if she cracks or not.
-
another preview
Is engine start / stop now on all vessles? Im guessing thats what the red / green controls are?
All excited now ;D ;D ;D

Yes, you can start and stop engines on all vessels :)

Does the Titanic also have the red and green lights for the engines?? :D
-

A correction, Titanic doesn't have the start/stop feature, my apologies :-[
-
Welllllll, I guesse I'll forgive you for that. You have a lot on youre mind :D

Once you all get the sinking patch installed I expect YOU to make a video for DJM showing Titanic sinking... it is guaranteed to be more interesting than Camerons attempt at videoing Titanic it must be said :D

:o :o :o
I won't watch them, seeing it a few hundred times in MY FAVOURITE FILM (take note :P) was enough. She will always be my favourite ship and to see her sinking in my favourite game would just be too much :'(
Better get my BIG gun ready for Stu......Cameron is a genius when it comes to film-making ;D

nice pics. how come u won't sink the titanic though? u should make her hit an iceberg again and post some pics.
-
so will the patch also include the update for the 2006 add-on ships..
-
Some more pictures for you, this time it's the PoR sinking ;)
-
Two more ;)
-
Do the boats list or sink at one end? Looks to be like they just sink horizontally ???
Lookin great though ;D ;D
-
Hello All!
Can the boats sink if it is bad weather or something ???
-

At the moment I've only tested it by hitting a vessel head-on into a dock-side. What would happen if you were hit by another vessel on the side, I don't honestly know, sorry.
A couple more, different area ;)
-
Two more ;)
-
ahh great!! ;D
those 2 pictures answered my question, ''can ships only sink straight, or can they also hang slant like titanic did?''
well my answer is no, they can hang slant! ;D
and you can walk on board
and it takes a bit time before a ship completely is gone,
but one last question remains: what happens after your ship has sunken?
-

It's game over....stating the obvious I know, but it's the only thing that can happen really ;)
-
ok thanks, now all questions answered! thanks DJM! ;D
-
You're very welcome ;D
-
Hello All!
Can the boats sink if it is bad weather or something ???
I'm no expert with shipping, as most of the members already know, but I wouldn't think that ships should sink in bad weather. They are built to last ;)
I would think it would take a very severe storm or a collision under normal circumstances :)
Regards.
DJM.
-
that looks SOOOOOO cool ;D
-
djm, in the mission where the titanic has to head towards to the latitude, can u sink the latitude or not?
-
PLEASE POST A PICTURE OF THE TITANIC SINKING!WHY HAVE NO MODS DONE SO!?!?!?!?!?!
-

I haven't tried to be perfectly honest :)

No need to shout. As I said earlier in this topic, I did try........and failed. You will have the ability yourself tomorrow, a little patience is required ;)

OMG,does anyone see im an american 10 yr old who doesn't have ss2008?!?!?!?!!?!??!! :( :( :(

I doubt I will be checking tonight, sorry. I'm certain you will ALL have a go at sinking your ships tomorrow ;)
Regards.
DJM.
-
Hey DJM do you know if there will be any features in the future for deploying flares / lifeboats / SOS horns etc?
-
Hiya :)
That will be a decision made by Vstep, I can't comment on future features unfortunately :)
Regards.
DJM.

It stinks not having ss08...*sob sob sob* :'( :'( :'(
-
ur correct, we will all have fun with that. theres one more thing i need to ask u, in free roam can u sink ships u see that u control in missions?
-
It stinks not having ss08...*sob sob sob* :'( :'( :'(
its ok, dont be sad. u can order it online like i did. it took a week to arrive. ask ur parents if u can order it.
-

You can sink ships in free-roam mode also, yes :)
That second group of PoR pictures were taken in free-roam ;)
Regards.
DJM.
-
ok, but what i mean is, u know the ships u find in free roam like the patrol boat just at random when driving another ship, can u sink those one to or just the u control?
-

Hmm.... Lets just hope I can download it in time at about 7 tomoz. I don't get home til then, going to see the missus ;D :P
-
this wasnt supposed to happen, but heres a preview of what the titanic sinking could look like.
-
whoo ;D
btw i hope that titanics speed is fixed, and that you can steer with the engines off, like before, you need to set the engines on full power to make a turn with the steering wheel, is this realistic or fake?
and i hope that the ''mission failed'' message only displays when your ship is completely gone ;D
-
OMG,does anyone see im an american 10 yr old who doesn't have ss2008?!?!?!?!!?!??!! :( :( :(

Well, I'm sorry... but that's life. Perhaps you should get a paper round (route, I believe you call it there?) and start saving. You know, you aren't actually saving for a real ocean going ship. I dout it will take THAT long, will it?
Stu
-
'paper round'? me no comprende.but i do have 500-600$ already.

well then, you know the answer... either buy, or dont buy. Life is full of opportunities. I mean $500 is enough to buy a serious night of drinks... or buy shipsim and have $460 left.
I know what I'd do... Buy ship sim and STILL have enough for a round of drinks.

How much do you spend on drinks?? I sure wouldn't spend that much on drinks :o

Here are a couple of pictures of the Pride Of Rotterdam after she slammed head first into a smaller vessle

I'll have to try to sink the P&O sometime. I only sank the red ferry once and that went down horizontal. I always thought that the boats sank only horizontal.
-
It did start to go down horizontal at first, then all of a sudden the back went under bringing the bow up then it slid under.

How long did that take? I sunk the Sherpa in under a minute ???
-
whow!, that pictures proof that a ship can hang slant! ;D
-
MY RJ4 sank stern first but then it got in the boat and in the hole at the front and just sank :p
-
How long did that take? I sunk the Sherpa in under a minute ???
About a minute and a half I think...maybe longer because the blue line took a fair bit to vanish. As soon as water comes on the front deck it starts to go quickly
EDIT: Here is a pic of her going bow first after hitting an iceburg. Again she started to sink Horizontally, then as soon as the lifeboats were submerged her bow dipped a bit

Have you seen the price of cognac these days? Even a decent bottle of champagne is in the £100s ;)
Stu
-
i don't know why some people are so sad about a virtual sinking ship, it's just a game, and that makes sinking awsome ;D
-
would be nice to scale the sinking times, they go down too fast for me to enjoy it. i want to be able to have a little slider of something to make ships go sink faster or slower.
-
great pics guys.....BUT any idea on how to get rid of the splash effects when the titanic starts sinking? they are soo annoying and unnecessary!
