Post by: Eemspoort on July 10, 2007, 19:09:38: Treu, that is a MUST! A ship with radar-screen on the bridge, but not even a scanner??? Neh.

WE NEED RADAR-SCANNERS! ;D

And offcourse they need to turn as well! ;)

Post by: Fox Luna on July 11, 2007, 01:59:31: radar scanners was one of the details i missed most in the 2006 version so i can not understand why they didn't put it on all ships on ss08 , Radar scanners is a MUST

Post by: Stuart2007 on July 12, 2007, 00:10:06: Most ocean going ships will have SoNaR, but not all.

I questioned this once on a large passenger vessel and was told that since they used recognised shipping channels with known depths that it wasn't quite as important as some people assumed.

I don't doubt that most/all new builds are fitted as standard, but this is only quite recent on passenger ships.

Having SoNaR would be nice though for anything from fishing boats to cable layers etc

I'm sure one of the boats in Bottmans video showed a turning RaDAR??? Was it not the pilot boat?

Post by: rondini on July 17, 2007, 18:17:32: By Sonar do you mean Echo-sounders for depth? Because sonar is the submarine equipment equivalent to radar, using sound rather than radio waves.

Well, a radar is among the most important stuff onboard a ship (at the bridge) so it really surprises me that SS08 donÂ´t have it implented! With ARPA radar, it is very easy to calculate the predicted track for example.
