Just curious...
Are the ports lit up at night, or are they suffering from a power cut like in 08?
-
Her you se Sidney by night
-
That's good!!! Thanks. :) BIG improvement.
Now, if I can push my luck- any photos of Dover? ;)
-
Her you have Dover Stuart
-
Thanks Tore...
That really does look quite good indeed.
BTW- what are the wave heights port/sea? From one photo I've seen elsewhere it does look like the waves are different in port?
-
If you have a stormy wather wave are love in port but when you go out of port the wave are high so they changes,

Some extra pics of Calais :)

Now all we need is some decent bridge/deck lights :)
-
Totally agree with everything said here.
The environments are massivly improved and we do need lights on the ships now, even if it is just in the bridge.
One thing though, try turning the 'aground' nav lights on the cruise ships, looks quite nice ;)

Hi All
As a seaman in charge of a watch at night come on my bridge and switch a bridge
light on and I am afraid I would not be pleased at my night vision being spoiled.
Bridge needs to be dark so that you have good vision around you out of the windows
switching lights on in the bridge even once you'r eyes have ajusted to the light still
shine back from windows and restrict you'r vision so for me no thanks keep it real

Hi Eric,
I didn't necessarily mean bright shining lights on the bridge, perhaps I gave the wrong impression :)
I just mean the ships seem very dark and some lights on them would be nice.
-
There is an option called "moored" which switches on all of the deck lights :)
-
Thats good but i wouldn't really call them lights, they just seem like bright colours on this game, little circles, it doesn't really create any light on the deck or anything, it just stays dark.
-
My thoughts exactly. Some flood lights would be nice like you would get on a fishing vessel for example :)

I fully agree, it would also be good to have a night pallette mode for the chart if that's not already there for the same reason. But well done vStep on finally bringing city lights to the game.

Is the spinny tower illuminated in Pompey???
In real life, it is very impressive to see at night... I see it every time I go past on peeandohnoos Pride of Bilbao... Or at least I did until they screwed it up like most of their other routes... Sorry, going o.t.
-
hehe
Haven't tested The Solent at night yet (or at Day, I seem to be fixated on a certain route camapigned by you Stu ;))
But ot does look good...
Just need the Lighthouses to flash and the harbour entrances to have red and green entrances lights now
But great job VSTEP :thumbs:
Edit: Just checked (in my grounded PoR) :doh:
And it does light up... but not quite like she does...
-
Who has a SSE Night picture of Manhattan island?
-
I really hope they bring lights to the ships because they looks really dull at night! Would be nice to have a few portholes lit up
-
After watching whale wars...yes whale wars i noticed there inside bridgelights/maplights are red..that would be an awesome addion..maybe a switch lights off/red/dim white there are so many things people are suggestiong i know paradox cannot do them all but this cannot be that hard to incorporate this into the game and is almost a MUST like the exhaust smoke!! come on paradox make lots of ppl happy.. going to do some night runs now
Happy Sailing,
Cory :captain:

I suggest that you write to Paradox with the list of things you want them to add to the game. That would take some of the load off of VSTEP.

They made the lights on the bridge red, because the color red doesn't effect your nightview ;)

interesting ive noticed it in helicopters also must work pretty good

Paradox wouldn't do anything. They only publish the game and don't have any developing role at all. Anything that gets made for the game is made my VSTEP only. But they read the forums so they should see these suggestions.

;D
I think you'll find that he was being sarcastic. :evil:

Look, Marty- there's no need for that sarcasm, is there? It wasn't a rant about XYZ missing, just a harmless discussion about lighting. No need for that.
EDIT: TFM, thanks for the Spinny photo... Agreed, it isn't too lifelike, but the newer route of DCITSE does have lighting that lokks good. So mvsmith permitting, who knows for the future?
-
Stu, the point of my sarcasm was the mistaken idea that Paradox was the developer of SSE and should be the one to contact for additions/corrections.
Read the post immediately above mine.
-
In that case, I withdraw my accusation of sarcasm fully.
I can not imagine what on earth posessed me to assume you were being sarcastic to people generally. That is, after all, quite unlike you.
-
Steering away from all that...
the one thing we do need are harbour Entrance indicator lights for places like, Dover, Calais Cowes etc...
so you know where the Harbour Entrance is ;)
-

Should of gone to...

Such as others allready pointed out, light on the bridge is not good seamanship.
Allso decklights are not good seamanship. (unless if you are anchoring or moored)
I spent this summer 7 weeks on a cargo ship and everybody told me to close the curtains at night if I use my cabin lights. Biceaus all lighting should be reduced to a minimum, so that the navigational lights are easy to see from a distance.
This is same like ss08, maybe even faster, that people allready start asking for things.
(Even if they dont know what they are talking about)
-
Sam,
Relax, take a deep breath... He was talking about lights on the harbour wall, not the bridge...
No one here is demanding anything, just a harmless discussion about lighting...
Jesus, I think I'll change the subject name to "harmless topic about lighting. No one is demanding anything. Allright?"
-
Now all we need is some decent bridge/deck lights :)
This is what I mean.
The Ferry Man is right, I like his suggestion.
But I keep my standing point.
You can name your topic wathever you like, if it makes you happy.
