Hello Luc!
"Toisa Anexartiti" is an excellent and realistic model. Only two things:
1. There is an odd heavy roll when pierside.
2. When heading astern and try to turn left (stern first) there is a tendency for rapid turn left which is not compatible with the ordered azi angle. I want to test this further.
I spoke with a friend of mine who can repaint the model but he needs to know how to open the "*.cgr" file. Do you know maybe?
George

In fact, the new topics in this board don't appear if you just look at the "Latest Post", underneath the home page, probably due to some error in the site, I don't know.
You should lok at the next line "View the most recent posts on the forum.", Anyway, this is the link to this topic, appearing as a "community development", with a limited number of contributors, sub-board "Unofficial Patches", meaning not followed in the Shipsim.com site : http://forum.shipsim.com/index.php?topic=31890.0 So, quite sure ! Regards, Luc |

Actually I meant the *.act of the post July 14, 2023, 23:13:19 in this conversation. I can't find the rest folder of the beloved "Anexartiti"
 . Sure you posted it there? |

By "The very last model", did you mean ToisaAnexartiti, from my topic in the Unofficial Ptches of the Community Development ?
Anyway, the 8 s necessary for the thruster to reach full thrust have been reduced to 4.8 s in the attachment, and as the data of the bowthruster of Fairmount Sherpa are well known, as we have her sea trials report, I was able to check at the same time the zero speed maximum rate of turn with 2x735 kW thrusters like mentioned in her pilot card, decreasing with ahead speed, zero "rudder". In such conditions, the ship pivots somehow too easily, reaching 90° after a little more than one minute, eventually due to the light condition. Fairmount Sherpa stern thruster was an Aquamaster of 736 kW, 10.5 t thrust, her bow thruster was 825 kW, 12.5 t thrust. The file should be inserted in the following folder: X:....\Vstep\ShipSimExtremes\Projects\ShipSimExtremes\Data\Entities\Dynamics Regards, Luc |

This very last model of Fairmount Sherpa is very good indeed! It seems that the increase/decrease rate of bow thruster's RPM needs some acceleration by something like 40-50% but we can live with that!
A great thank you! |

Wow! I didn't know it was possible to shift between ships. Then, I will choose a cutter as second player ship and set it turning slowly with its double shafts with no advance and try to berth Fairmount on it! It may work that way then! I will keep you informed.

How so? Not necessarily in multiplayer, it works also in freeroam, the more that one of your two ships is very slow, certainly enough to handle both in freeroam.
This feature is possible while the freeroam environments are mission xml files, edited and published by the mission editor. If you can create a simple mission, just adding bollards, tweaking weather and time, you just need to do the same by adding the player ships you need, e.g. FairmountSherpa modded and some Latitude,... they will also be equipped with deployable, etc. Bollards, player ships, are all the same. Search for Freeroam.xml and you will find one in each of the environments, so that you can edit them at will, provided you keep a backup of the original file in case you want to use multiplayer later on. You can share the environment with other players, of course, but don't forget to keep track of your changes, you can imagine why. It goes without saying that the Freeroam.xml mission file should be saved or moved into the correct folder, for instance : X:\...\Vstep\ShipSimExtremes\Projects\ShipSimExtremes\Data\Environments\Antarctic\FreeRoam.xml The only difficulty is to be cautious and to find a way to backup and rename the files without delay, storing the environments in backup folders and not messing with them. Some specific folder out of the way... Here the original Mvsmith's explanation, about bollards only: http://forum.shipsim.com/index.php?topic=31880.msg406321#msg406321 and my remarks in this one (just translated) : http://forum.shipsim.com/index.php?topic=29978.msg393022#msg393022 It is simple, easy, just try it !

Ok! It seems that multiplayer is the solution.

Goodmorning!
I have just sent you the file Luc! I will check the model tomorrow! Yes, the 180 rotation should be 15sec as response time indeed. However, the handling time of the controlers should be independed from the 15sec time and easily moved. This is how I finaly noticed it in reality. Many regards George |

Hello geosub1978,
Attached, the version with the steering time set at 15 s for 180°, or 2 RPM, this time rather slow for handling, manoeuvring and normal for steering. The azimuth thrusters have kept the same 35 t max at 225 RPM, and the 2 thrusters have kept their 12 t thrust each. Her maximum speed reaches 14 kts. Regards, Luc |
