Hello,
The handling didnt change much from ShipSim2006, indeed. I also tried to stop the tanker Latitude from full ahead and reversing, and without steering or autopilot (
![Grin ;D](http://forum.shipsim.com/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
). The ship stayed remarkably well on course, showing that there is no transverse thrust screw effect, and also no delays to stop the shaft and/or to reverse the screw rotation (engine?, pitch?, steam?).
But the lack of effectiveness of the rudder when the screw is stopped is somewhat
![Undecided :-\](http://forum.shipsim.com/Smileys/default/undecided.gif)
disturbing, as is the difficulty to use both rudders of Pride of Rotterdam. Not to speak of
![Cry :'(](http://forum.shipsim.com/Smileys/default/cry.gif)
the Red Eagle backwards handling?
A lesser regret is the Union Jack at the stern of Red Jet, instead of (what now?
![Huh? ???](http://forum.shipsim.com/Smileys/default/huh.gif)
Red Ensign?).
Perhaps
![Roll Eyes ::)](http://forum.shipsim.com/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)
is a ship's parameters editor being prepared, together or after the mission editor?
Anyway, it was worth
![Cheesy :D](http://forum.shipsim.com/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)
the waiting, although I didnt see many improvements in the manoeuvring characteristics.

Luc
