hi i couldnt find a topic about this. I was wondering what the bugsier 2 top speed was. Also i was wondering what all the other addons in new horizon top speeds were. Sorry if there is another topic about this than please direct me to it. Thanks! ;D

Hi tman,
here's a list with the top speeds of the NH vessels:
Ocean Star: 22 kts
Fishing Vesssel: 10 kts
Historical Yacht: 10 kts
Bugsier 2: 12 kts
Agile Solution: 17 kts
Pushboat: 9 kts
Russian Tug: 12 kts
Speed Yacht: 40 kts
Regards,
Fred

Thank- you 8)

You're welcome! :)

Speed yacht: 40 knots! Woah that's as quick as the Red Eagle I think ;D
Thanks for the top speed though :)

lol shush, I'm tired and I've had a couple of pints :D ;D

Actually the top speed of the Ocean Star is 27 knots. I tried it in ship sim 2008.

Hi explosives124
Well I just took all the speeds from the specifications that are stated in the game..
I haven't checked her speed ingame personally. I hardly ever go full speed anyway, I mostly sail in harbors and it's not always wise to go as fast as you can in those enviroments. :)

In SS06, I put Titanic at full speed ahead in NY harbor!

And amazingly the "Bugsier 2" is one knot faster when going astern, both in real and simulation! It's because of her underwater shape...
Cheers

Hello tman,
Also, some data about the ships can be found in this topic (http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,4410.0.html)

hi,
can anybody tell me the conversions for knots into MPH please, makes it a bit easier to compare to other vehicles.
thankyou.

Great link there Groenngaard!
I found this on the wind speed: 25 - 31 Strong breeze large branches in motion; telephone wires whistle; umbrellas used with difficulty ;D

lol. Always remember to bring your umbrella if you are to measure the wind speed... ;D

Don't forget the hat too, as that's an accurate measurement in windspeed :D

Aah, Thank you for the link groennegaard. thats just what i was looking for.
Thank you

I find her really confusing design-wise. She's not a proper 'escort tug' in the strict sense, but she runs faster going astern?! (Tractor tugs designed to escort usually run stern-first, but the B2's stern doesn't look like the bow, if that makes sense lol)
I love it though, and it's causing me to miss out on all the other new ships!

on sso8 it say's the titanic will reach 23 kn at 75rpm but i struggel to get it up to 22kn and from what i have read titanic wont reach 23 kn till 80 rpm
-
Hi guys Im new but thanks for the info it was cool 40 kn. thats fast
-
Something i noticed during the game. The Red Jet has a top speed of around 40 knots with the engines at 500 rpm, the Agile Solutiun has a top speed of 17 knots with 5000 RPM :-\
It doenst make sence, big vessels has engines with a low rpm like the Vermaas and Latitude. High speed vessels have engines with more RPM, but not more then let's say 1800 rpm. ::)
The way i post in here is because the speed is related to the rpm so instead of making a new topic i put it in here.

Hi Jayshum,
Is there any significance in your use of the Svitzer logo under your title? I just noticed yesterday that "Svitzer Bidston" has that logo on her funnel rather than the normal Svitzer logo of a Maltese cross.

Speaking of top speeds the Royal Mail Steamer Titanic has 23kn in speed and she can only do 21 max in SS08.It says in a documentary on the history channel about Titanic called "Titanic, the Complete Story", which i have myself. The DVD looks like this http://store.aetv.com/html/product/index.jhtml?id=70411.
-
Does this really make gameplay bad?
-
Yes, why make a beautiful ship with lots of details and forget the technical details.
-
yes if the game said she will do 23kn them they need to up the engine speed to 80 rpm. titanics engines had a max of 83rpm meaning allmost 24kn maybe in the next patch they can up the engine speed?
-
Well, i don't think the rpm and the speed are related together in the game... :D I think it's just some adjustments in the ship dynamics.
-
at 75 rpm titanic will only reach 21.8kn

HEY< THATS SO TRUE< LOOKS LIKE WE ARE MAKING SENSE HERE< NO MORE EXCUSES THIS TIME ;D :D
-
Well, the dev's still have to do something with this info..... ::)
-
so maybe in the next patch they can do somthing about it?
-
Of course, it all makes sense to me now.If the ship will go up to 85 RPM, it should give out more smoke than before, and that should solve the smoke problem for the Titanic as well.
-
maybe more speed should make more smoke
-
Hi all :)
To be honest, I won't expect the Titanic's top speed to change. Only critical errors will be fixed as the developers are already working on the new SS2009.
It's not as easy as it might look. Increasing the top speed will fundamently change the dynamics model of the vessel and to get it right again could easily take a week of work.
The model will probably need an update for the SS2009 so my humble opinion is that updating the Titanic for SS2008 to gain only 1-2 knots will be a complete waste of time.
RPM and speed aren't directly linked in the game. Max RPM is set manually and is then linearly scaled to match the engine thrust. However, quite a few vessels have fixed RPM or a special program/curve (that isn't linear) so do not consider the game RPM for being realistic. It is simply an expression of the percentage of power ordered.

DEAD END.. once again... :o
