Sinking will be fixed in the next patch.

Hopefully, I feel a bit screwed on the sinking thing

I managed to sink the Pride of Rotterdam, even when I not tried to sink it.
On the mission with Pride of Rotterdam from San Fransisco to Phi Phi Islands, when entering Phi Phi Islands the boat starts bumping and the damage goes to 90%. the result of this is that the boat sinks half in the water. Probably is this a bug, because the map says 23m depth, but the depthmeter says just above 7m.

Nice  Mabye a bug!  But all will be fix'ed on the next patch!

I went in free-roam mode on the Phi Phi islands and managed to sink the Pride of Rotterdam



I only had 57% damaged

[VerVynck]

Not quite a sinking, but a disaster nevertheless.

but with what did you collide?

btw it is only a shame that the ship doesn't dissapear completely under water, or that it begin to hang slant
i also did a freeroam mode on the phi phi islands but when i wanted to collide with an mountain, the ship started to climb, so i was steering the P&O to the sandbank

In the demo for the 2006 version there was a container ship which had a bug and it nearly sinks it does a wheelie in the water and then the front of it lands back in the water and sinks under quite a bitthen it just pops back onto the surface of the water and carries on like usuall!!

[bjhjaudi]

Damage to the front of the boat affects the engines by letting water get to them, which they do not like!

Duh!

It's not too dangerous for engines to be completely under water, as long as the air-intake to the carborateur is over the water
Take f. ex the old Land-Rovers, they have the air-intake on the side by the roof on the car. That does so they can drive with the engine under water (only for a short peroid then )

The FAQ says there's no sinking till the patch in a few months, except sinking from bugs that is.

Hello Sammson!

The "few months" is actually less than a month... From the SS08 FAQ:
http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,955.0.html
"Sinking ships
-The ability to sink ships will probably be introduced in the next patch (17th of August)"

But of course if problems occur, this release date can be postponed.

Excellent, mid Aug is just around the corner. I must say this version shows great potential, well done.

[Mr Robville]

i can't wait!
