Just out of intresst, why do you have to take fuel figures and what is it for?

The engineers take fuel figures to calculate the fuel consumption in the last 24 hours and how much fuel is remaining on board

Dannypenguin · « **Reply #24952 on:** November 29, 2013, 12:07:07 »

What would happen if the fuel remaining figure is 0?

Lots of shouting and rude words?

Ballast · « **Reply #24953 on:** November 29, 2013, 15:23:33 »

Then the lights would simply go out..

Oh

Just found this:

That would be weird!

That's been around for years

estimating fuel consumption on my boat is fairly easy with only a 60 Liter tank.

Captain Cadet · « **Reply #24956 on:** November 29, 2013, 19:05:24 »

Explains a lot - I just lift the tank and if it's heavy it's full and if it's light as air it's empty

Captain Best · « **Reply #24957 on:** December 01, 2013, 00:30:05 »

My boat uses 2/l hour on full speed, and 0,3l on idle

clanky · « **Reply #24958 on:** December 01, 2013, 09:56:44 »

Running at economical speed (10knots) we are burning just less than 15,000 litres per day.

Ballast, we are on GMT+6 and somewhere south of the equator, afriad that's about as far as my navigational skills will go!

Ballast · « **Reply #24959 on:** December 01, 2013, 10:22:01 »

Yeah, I figured you'd be at GMT +6. Anyway smooth seas eh! Soon I'll be leaving to a 140t BP AHT as chief mate

Captain Cadet · « **Reply #24960 on:** December 01, 2013, 19:40:13 »

Our tank is 2 x 25 US liter tanks with one 5 UK liter tank
The 2 are the fuel, while the 1 tank is back up - making it very hard to cauculate how much fuel we use (oh and we got another 5 hp engine used in harbour as the other one is too deep sometimes and it's used as backup)
This makes it very very hard to exactly know how much fuel we use so that's why I just check by lifting it

Ralphy · « **Reply #24961 on:** December 02, 2013, 20:59:58 »

What's the difference between a US and a UK liter?

I'm currently experimenting with Unity 3D, a game engine I want to use for a future game project.
A few hours of messing around a little with creating a landscape already shows a bit of what this engine is capable of.

Imagine an experienced user working with this, creating a fully detailed landscape with finetuned graphics.

Reminds me of an indie horror game, but I canÂ´t remember what it was called... Someone came on an island such as this one, but when the night falls, you are being hunted!

Mr Robville · « **Reply #24964 on:** December 02, 2013, 21:39:27 »

That would remind me of Minecraft.

Just kidding, here's something that matches the description, you mean this game?

It's also programmed on Unity BTW.

Was just able to look it up, it was Missing: The Distant Island!

Love it to watch people like Markiplier play these kind of games!

Mr Robville · « **Reply #24968 on:** December 02, 2013, 22:43:15 »

Likewise. I just watched Markiplier's video after playing the game, I love it.

Now, will you excuse me while I grab some clean pants.

Lol, after playing the FEAR series a few times over, there are barely any games left that really scare me.

Oh well, movies then! I would highly recommend The Spambot in Black (with Daniel Radcliff).

Have you tried playing "Amnesia - The dark descent"?
Still my favourite. The game removes the security of carrying a boomstick to eliminate the threat. The only thing you can do is run and hide.

How could I forget Amnesia! Really makes you spike up your adrenaline sometimes, doesnÂ´t it?

Hm, tomorrow? All lights out, headset on with volume up... Some energy drink? Perfect.

Meanwhile, stumbled across this topic...

http://80.95.161.114/shipsim/forum/index.php/topic,386.0.html

Everyone, I do apologize for some of my countrymen...

Mr Robville · « **Reply #24973 on:** December 02, 2013, 23:10:03 »

Haha, whow.

Imagine if it were real. The whole world would be playing ShipSim, and VSTEP would be bankrupt.

VirtualSkipper · « **Reply #24974 on:** December 02, 2013, 23:15:08 »

Hm, something in my mind tells me to dig up an old SS06 profile.

Also, it seems you get the honor of opening the 1000st Cookie Box page.
