hallo! after investing in a new computer i really leveled up my enjoyment of shipsim and spent the last two days really much time with it.
so i tried all ships enjoying new graphic levels and by this way, did somebody really noticed it?, many of the ships are TOO FAST!
i searched the net for the real ships with real data and found some examples:
ocean star: the real thing, pretty sure the carnival legend or one of her sisterships has a top speed of 24kt and a service speed of 22kt. here i can go in calm waters easily 26kt with it.
agile solution: i,m not sure what real ship it should be (but one of the common multipurpose feederships) , but being able to go over 18-19kt with it i searched the net and found not any ship achieving this in the class of the agile solution. this small feeder ships top all out about 13-15kt, i found some very few achieving top 16.5 kts , but like said, none 19kt!
red jet 4: it goes over 43kt, the real one (build in australia) at trials 41kt with service speed not more than 36.
i have written something about the top speed of the red jet before and now tried also the other ships.
when we speak about the TOP speed of the real ship, its mostly the trail result with good sea conditions and little load, so these speeds should be in the sim the absolute maximum achievable , its no problem when you in some situations have to go more slowly. also in real life the ship in every day business also barely achieves speed.
and there are examples in shipsim.
e.g the sherpa, the vermaas and the PoR seem to be very fine modelled in this manner. so a big please for the next patch vstep, please set the speeds correctly at all vessels. this should be easy to do and since there are no war ships with classified data, the performance of the real ships is easily available. since we have not entry to the files for editing the real values its my only chance that it changes.
its ship and not racesimulator :-)
one more question to the PoR: i have redownloaded the whole sim, patch 1.3 and NH yesterday on my new computer and kick me, beat me shout at me... but can it be that the turning rates of the PoR are increased again at the data of the yesterday download??? especially the reaction for contra propelling and slow speed manouvering? i had to learn some time for mooring it with the new characteristics at 1.3 and now i have the fealing she reacts more directly... it normaly cannot be, i have the 1.4 version with NH and no changes should be here....
please seriously think about my comments on the wrong top speeds, thank you very much in advance!
