Hey

Please can you help I just bought the game and it is working good until it comes to any of the ships i put her full steam ahead but she doesnt move (titanic)

thanks

Two points here. 1. Are you sure she is not aground? 2. A big ship like "Titanic" takes some time to start moving even with her engines on full ahead. It's not like a motor car, this is a huge lump of steel.

Hi spins,

To add to Angus’s answer:
At 30 FPS and Ahead Full, Titanic takes about 30 seconds to indicate any SOG. She takes about 2 ½ minutes to move one ship length.
At lower frame rates it takes much longer.
This is normal behavior in SS 2008.

..and let me add this: in real life too!

It all have to do with the weight of the vessel on the water plus the power of the engine to give a resulting force for it to move.
