Title: engine performance
Post by: barrown1990 on February 24, 2011, 02:01:01: has any one managed to obtain higher speeds in ship sim 2008 than me with these ships? photos include the speedometer to show im not lying about speed on each ship.

ocean star - my record is 25.5 knots
vermaas - my record speed is 27 knots
pride of rotterdam - my record is 22.7 knots
agile solution - my record speed is 18.8 knots
latitude - my record speed is 15.8 knots

(while this has no technical significanse its just curiosity)

Weirdly, I am definitely experiencing speed changes with changes in FPS, top speed can be decreased by several knots with decreases in FPS.

33 knots in Titanic (just before I ran it aground!)

Would you mind to take a picture of that?

I think that those parameters have always been encoded. :thumbs:

McG: Severe time dilation in SS 2008 is a well-known fact, and it sets in early. As the frame rate drops below 30 FPS, the mission time runs slower than UTC, and true ship speed can drop to one half the indicated speed at low frame rates. In effect, the frame period becomes the clock.

~~What about the P6 Superpack? That had a higher top speed.~~ I get it :P

how do this?

By buying them, maybe? And believe me, that isn't cheap.
