Title: Any patch to reduce LATITUDE's and VERMAAS DRAFT??
Post by: Tavares Junior on November 07, 2012, 03:48:17

Good day Mates;
Does anyone knows if theres any patch to REDUCE the LATITUDE and VERMAAS draft, like we had into the SS08?
Thanks in advance....

Hi Tavares,
I'm sorry to say that there is no facility for having reduced draft on "Latitude" or "Vermaas".

Regards,
Angus.

I remember in version 2008 VStep reduced the draft for oil tanker Latitude. Thus is possible. But if VStep doesn`t want now... It`s a pity because the Latitude is impossible to use at any scenery.

Perhaps this is not to right place to mention this. The power regulation in Vermaas doesn`t work properly. When I move only one milimeter the cursor the power of the ship rise till 35%. Is not possible to handle the Vermaas at low speed. ¿Do you know this problem?

Hi
I do not know how you come to this conclusion I  have made missions for latitude
the vessel can sail in Solent and Hamburg to name 2.

Hello Tinchu,

The propulsion layout of some SSEx ships is a direct drive from a main engine to a fixed pitch propeller. Like any other internal combustion engine with or without clutches, the crosshead diesel engines have a minimum rotational speed, 20 - 35% of their maximum r/min. Direct driven engines are therefore stopped and restarted ahead or astern as needed. Given time, the ship speed will eventually settle at a deadslow speed around or slightly less than 20 - 35% of the maximum ship speed, if the engine(eers) allow it.
In SSEx, the indication displayed is not the power but the shaft rpm, and if relevant, also the pitch ratio in % of the controllable pitch propellers.

Regards,
Luc

Thank you LucATC. I didn`t know it.
