Looking at the videos of SS 08 on youtube i noticed there was no bow splashes. On the box cover of SS 08 the pilot vessel had a nice bow splash on it. Will This feature be in SS 08? KM
-
I was wondering that myself? ???
-
ok that makes 2 of us. KM
-
Make that 3. ;D
-
I'll make that 4 right there.
-
5!
-
Advertisement must not be as realistic, as our sim should be.. ;)
Cheers
-
I think it would be an idea for an update patch. :) ;)
-
I'm sure SS08 will have bow splashes. If they are describing evrything else included in the version, I am sure they will fix the bug and include the splashes. 8)
-
then we are 7 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Go look on shipspotting.com and look in the storm pics. Yo Will see some large wakes and alot of spray from the hull of the ship hitting the water. ;)
-
Make that 9 . . .
This has been a topic of debate amongst a few of us for a while. AND I WANT MY SPLASHES!! HA HA HA! In rough seas. And in calm seas I must have my wake. At all times. :p
-
Yea, especially when i'm in rough seas, i want big bow splashes and spays. KM
-
And in storms I want to see it all splash onto my windows. That would be perfect!

I was just about to write that.
-
Oh yea, rough seas, big bow splashes, water splashing onto my windows. KM
-
That would be very neat!!
-
but if we have water hitting the bridge viewports, would we not then need . . . . whipers?
-
You read my mind ;D won't be to hard to put in some whipers would it??
I think that the splashing water will be hard enough to do...
-

That is the hard part. The easy part is the windshield whipers. It is a simple animation execution when you press a key command.
-
That's what I mean. That making the splashes on the window from the waves realistic will be much harder to do..
-
I remember on the old forum there was a discussion about winshield wipers, but thats another topic. KM
-
Realistic bow wakes and splashes are yet another hurtle to cross. I highly dislike cheesy wakes . . .
-
Yea, who likes cheesy wakes. KM
-

VS has some very corny wakes.

I brought that subject up. I think it is a great idea. I have seen working wipers on a plane in Flight Simulator 2004.
-
Whipers, of which there has been a keyboard command since MSFS 98, were supposed to be an option for quite some time, however, I have not flown a plane that had active whipers..
-

Yer, I don't like'm.
-
Yea, The waves in VS are very bad. KM
-
We should have waves like the coast gaurd cutter's make in the SF bay, its really amazing. The smallest wave splashes on teh bow and a whole array of white mist floats up to the wheelhouse window :D :D
-
Wouldn't that be a little to much to ask for when this is just the first version with waves and such?

Indeed, the Development team have really listened to us all for the features in the 2008 version of Ship Simulator, and it's looking amazing so far, in my opinion ;D
Ship Sim AND it's fan base will only grow from now on 8) :D ;D
Regards.

Well I meant the first edition with real waves. Not just those wobbely thingies from 2006. Get it??
-
Ah, yes, now I do.
-
Ah, yes, now I do.
Yer and on ship sim 06 the bow waves kind of go on forever and if you know what i mean by this doesn't leave a trail of where the boat has been but not the wakes off the propellors.??? ??? ??? help!!
-
I get annoyed with the wake texture of SS, I do not like how it does not fade, but instead, you can see the computer simply deactivating a section of the texture. I am hoping a transitional opacity effect can come into play in the future.
-
look at this video for an ex of the bow waves in SS08 http://www.vstepvideos.com/ShipSim2008/video/pilot_demo_of_bow_wave.wmv (http://www.vstepvideos.com/ShipSim2008/video/pilot_demo_of_bow_wave.wmv)
-
THoughts anyone? (Thanks MC)
-
Looks impressive, now just to wait for a vid where you van see the damage :P
Will there be varuable hight in the waves? not that all the bowwaves are the same.
-

Maybe I`m alittle OT but PMDG`s Boeing 737 have working wipers ;)
-
The bow wave look a lot better, I just hope the wake has been improved. As our ship turned we would only see two points of...wake...instead of one large one streching along the length of the ship.

Yeah, coming from the bow and another from the stern - that always bugged me.
-

whoa!!!! I sure hope thats from SS08 ;D I'd love to see bow waves, and wakes like that. Where did you find the picture? KM
-

I am not sure if that is from the game, from the other screen shots I have seen.
-
Sadly I think not. :( I think that is from another thing they did. But If you look at that movie of the patroal boat on youtube that is what it sohuld look like. ;)
-
Yeah. I have seen some of VSteps other work, such as the Rotterdam demo (for another program) and it was nicer than Ship Simulator.
The kind of waves we need . . . . Silent Hunter 4. That has actual wakes and everything! Those devs went nuts.

I saw a sea plane that had a windsheild wiper and when you took-off from the water wou could see mist on the windows.
-
I have flown on a seaplane, and yes, there was mist on the windows on the side on the fuselage. However, the fore of the plane was clean. Although it did have whipers.
-
Well, i dont have time to read all this topic, but what i can say is i have bow waves. Only noticed then on the pilot vessel, so i will take a closer look at the other boats later on tonight.
-
what would also add to bow waves and stuff is if some of the water like gathered up on the deck for a while until it drains off
