HI
You can download it from here it's a add one for reduced draft  Creator's Forum
 http://217.45.209.217/cgi-bin/creators/entry.pl

so if you install that, then you can sail like this

You ever driven a VLCC in ballast condition in real life?  :P

If im right, the new manoeuvering characteristics are determind with the real deal via wheelhouse posters.

The ballast change will make it look like Latitude is empty and made all that towing look easier. ;D

Out of interest, does the reduced draft Lat provide a second Lat with lower draft, or just raise the orginal Lat up itself?

It will replace the loaded VLCC. Be aware which one you download. People with another version of the VLCC can't tow you in MP and you'll look bouncy to them!

OK Thanks  :thumbs:

I'll stick to the loaded one then.

I doubt empty ones get moved around a lot...
