In harbours a limit to 2-3 feet is definitely enough. I have never seen waves higher than approx. 1 meter/3feet behind wave breakers.

But I have noticed, that in a tutorial video about ShipSim Pro (on YouTube) the waves can be set to be high outside the mole, and are low inside the mole, which looks very realistic. You can sail from a stormy sea into the shelter of a harbour in the same environment! Great! I hope we will find such features in SSEx, too.
In SS08 e.g. in Marseilles, the waves are limited in the entire environment.

I think that will be the case.

Sheltered and Open wave systems in harbour environments.

... so you want a tsunami-game? I don't! And we are not talking about Tsunamis here.

You can get tsunami-like waves and other crazy things in VS (a game that has its advantages, too).

But I stated that I have never seen waves higher than 1 meters/3 feet in harbours behind wave breakers. And I have seen a lot of harbours, and in stormy conditions, too. And I suppose you haven't either.

I think one of the missions in SSE is to rescue the inhabitants of an island from an impending tsunami, so who knows?

MVEsperanza is Right

in real life you dont really know what to expect

I must say I rather disapprove of the idea of 7m+ seas. I mean, I don't want my passengers to toss their lunch, or my cargo to come loose. Think of the mess! Heck, the latter could capsize my ship~! O_o

However, I must say that I'm looking forward to the more realistic waves. =D Those bumps were getting quite annoying.

I personally cannot see why this is something that a lot of people seem to ask...Does it really matter?!

shipboy1313 · « **Reply #36 on:** July 03, 2010, 17:31:44 »

i know. dont try to make it more awesome than it allready is.. cause its already awesome

shipboy1313 · « **Reply #37 on:** July 03, 2010, 17:32:27 »

Well lets just say it looks awesome for now

McGherkin · « **Reply #38 on:** July 03, 2010, 19:56:35 »

The problem with making bigger waves is that people will try to sail something small and not seaworthy in them, no matter what height. Whilst Vermaas can put up with 20-30 foot waves, Red Eagle will not. But that won't stop people from trying.

However, it could be a challenge to sail around those storm area's where the waves are that high, and at the same time arrive punctual at your port of call.

The main issue in SS08 was that when you hit a wave, the water never splashed around your ship instead it just creates a small splash. The waved should be 5m

Well it don't have to be that big unless you're dealing with rough seas. I don't even know how they (V-step or creators) could create a splash or wave that big. Remember that when they create ships in super packs it is only limited to their characteristics especially on water but i might not know if you could make changes or adjust ship wakes or splash.

How did you do that? what setting did you use?

If you run into a wave at the wrong time, or get thrown around a bit, you'll have the odd big splash now and then

um since the sim is gonna be more realistic maybe the cruizers will have the stablelizers like what newer cruise ships have right, that makes it so the ship dont rocke much, its a fin on both sides of the ship

I used the maximal settings in the Video Option. That screenshot was made during free roam. The weather settings where 4 m waves, windforce 8 Bft.
Then it's just a mater of turning your bow right into the wind and let the sea do the rest. It's just waiting for the right moment and then hit the 'Take a picture' button.

Why do you think the Ocean Star hasn't capsized randomly yet?

They're invisible in SS like trim tabs.

There should be a rode wave button.
