Hello again,

I would like to let Vstep know that and ask them that why do they keep ignoring this particular point i am about to make and it still is ignored. They acknowledged it and said that they would fix it in patch 1.1, then it did not happen, it was mentioned again and patch 1.3 comes out and again it is still not fixed. PLEASE I AM NOT COMPLANING BUT I WOULD LIKE THIS PROBLEM TO BE FIXED.

The problem consists on the telegrpahs and speed. First of all when i have the telegraph at stand by the ship starts to move. Alsot there is different percentages at each station. There should be 8 different speeds. DEAD SLOW, SLOW, HALF, FULL. Astern and ahead makes it 8. There should not be a possibilty of being able to go at 10 knts and 15knts at the HALF station there should only be one speed! okay!

Hi kev600,

PLEASE I AM NOT COMPLANING BUT I WOULD LIKE THIS PROBLEM TO BE FIXED.

First of all, there is no need to shout.

Secondly:

com-plaint   Pronunciation: [kuhm-pleynt] –noun
an expression of discontent, regret, pain, censure, resentment, or grief; lament; faultfinding 

 

Seriously though, VSTEP is not ignoring anything. Complaints, bug reports, suggestions and what have you, always find a way to them through the moderators and administrators. They just can't answer in every topic that deals with a problem or a complaint. That time is better spent on the development, wouldn't you agree?

They are aware of the problems and are doing the best they can to make this sim better, every day. They just have certain priorities. Some problems are more important than others but they would never willingly ignore a problem if there was a simple solution at hand. There's a lot of work to be done and only so much time and resources. If your plate is full, you just have to empty it before digging into a new issue, or we'll end up with a load of half finished fixes/patches/additions.

I'm hoping your issue will be adressed soon in a future update!

Regards,
Fred

Sorry Mad_Fred, but that sig of yours is um...weird

[Mad_Fred]

My favorite sim combined with my favorite TV show..  how's that weird? 

Fred

[Shipaddict]

Don't often see a great big foot standing on Igor K!

[Mad_Fred]

That's the legendary Monty Python foot. 

I'm getting bored with it though, and it's too low quality. I might may make a better (and serious) sig soon.

Anyways, that's a bit off topic.. 

Fred

[Shipaddict]

I think it would be nice without the foot

[mvsmith]

Now Kev,
You need only make one request, and then wait patiently until VSTEP work their way down the queue of more pressing problems to those of a purely cosmetic nature. Repetition and shouting can be counterproductive.

Back in late August, I made a simple, polite, request for the Maeslantkering. In due course the developers rewarded my patience with a splendid Maeslantkering—for which, I’m ashamed to say, I never properly thanked them.

i understand that but titanic is the biggest attraction in this game for at least half the gamers!

[Mad_Fred]

i understand that but titanic is the biggest attraction in this game for at least half the gamers!

I don't think so, to be honest.

If I look at the "what's your favorite ship" kind of topics on these boards,  the PoR, Sherpa, RJ4, Vermaas (+tugs in MP) and Red Eagle are the most commonly named favorites. Titanic is way furhter down on the list.

Of course everyone loves the Titanic, but I don't think half the SS players think it's the biggest attraction.
I do of course share your opinion about it needing a few fixes left and right, but as mvsmith and myself said, these problems are cosmetic and there are more pressing matters.

They will get to it in due time.

Regards,
Fred

Kev,
If the Titanic is such a big attraction for you, why not try steering her for five hours in Titanic 2 Replica…?
If you can complete that mission, perhaps you are a true Titanic devotee.

For such a keen observer of faults, I’m really disappointed that you have not noticed the most egregious omission of all: The binnacle has no Flinders bar.
Marty

[kev600]

no it's a small thing i pointed out because the speeds are completely messed up thats all!

[kev600]

by the way there is also a small problem with the smoke as i seem to thing that the game things it is a three funnel diesel and and puts out small bit of smoke. Titanic put out lots of smoke not a little! another thing to put on the list!lol

[Captain Titanic]

Listen folks we have no need to argue. (although I love argueing )

RoR and all the other stuff are good ships. All ships are great. (includeing the jetski) Although people like the Titanic, they can like modern ships. I myself love the modern cruisers and I am so happy to get one when I brought the Add-on for Chrsitmas! 

But, for some wierd reason back in 1912, if for some reason a ship NEEDED to be sunk, or the world would blow up... and I was the king and had thr right choose between two ships, the Titanic and the Sherpa... I would choose the sherpa to be sunk. Dont you agree?

But we all have our own liks and dislikes, if Mr. Ilikevessels liked the Harbour tug, we cant change that. although, if Mr Ilikevessels was the king in 1912 and had to choose a ship to sink, he would still choose anything but the Titanic.

Titanic is one of the best ships in the world. One of the biggest. No-one can change that.

As for a bug, you must say it once and wait... all you need,

[Mad_Fred]

Uhm.. who mentioned anything about sinking? 

[Captain Titanic]

Uhm.. who mentioned anything about sinking? 

No! No dont get me wrong. That was just an example of how Titanic is respected

[mehman]

Titanic is one of the best ships in the world. One of the biggest. No-one can change that.

Titanic was, at its time, one of the best ships in the world. That would be during the five days it was in service (10th until 2:20am on 15th of April 1912).

If you own and operate the exact same ship today, there is no doubt your business will go bankrupt within a few months. That is not exactly what I call one of the bests of 2008!!!

[mvsmith]

I suppose I should defend Titanic—she was, after all, an American ship operated under a flag of convenience—but it is difficult to argue that she was the greatest. About all that can be said for her is that she was the biggest at time of building, and possibly the most opulent. Her design was flawed in many respects. She was operated in an irresponsible manner by her captain.
Had she been able to dodge enough bergs and U-boats, she would probably have gone to the breakers in 1920.
Marty

[Mad_Fred]

Heya Marty,

So you wanna defend an American product that sinks after a little scrape along an iceberg?  (No, titanic lovers, this is not to be taken seriously so don't get upset!)

Seriously though, I agree with you. It might have been the biggest when she was built, but I doubt it was the best. As far as (any kind of) vessels go, there would have been a lot of vessels that were better. That means, did their particular job better, more efficient, cheaper, uhm.. longer...     etc.

I wont make a remark about the captain, or we'll end up with another "who is really to blame?" topics! 

I honestly think we probably wouldn't even remember her if she hadn't sunk. It would indeed have been decommisoned and would have been just another "biggest at a particular moment in time". And there's plenty of those around that no one knows about.

Fred

[mvsmith]

Fred,
I didn’t mean an American product; I wouldn’t take that away from the Irish.
I meant American owned, which she truly was. She was British registered, as ships are often registered in Panama or Liberia.
Regards,
Marty

[Mad_Fred]

Yeah was just a silly joke.. and not even funny..  my bad... 

Fred

[mvsmith]

Not all that silly, Fred:
There was at least one Liberty Ship whose welds cracked when she was launched into frigid Northwest water.
Marty

[Traddles]

Marty,
Was that Liberty ship the one called "Samsplitz".

[kev600]

she is and will ever be the nicest looking ship! The design along with the four funnels the way the bridge was diffirent to most ship's she was truely unique by that i mean the olympic class liners were. No one will ever change that unless we start building steam ships again! lol

[Readd1]

Titanic in this game after patch 1.3 looks awful in my mind. The ropes go all jagged, there is evidence of the mesh showing through the textures (e.g. right at the front of the bow towards the top - the blue circle- and i line right down the middle. The brilliant sounds of the waves hitting the bow dont work anymore (in v.1.0 you could hear them from the bridge) and finally the Telemotors are still screwed up (only two work)!

The main point is that you can't even move a few metres away without all the objects onboard dissappearing and the ropes/cables looking really unsmooth and blocky!

Will Vstep ever fix all these annoyances? When is the next patch?
