My favorite weather to sail in is stormy because I find storms interesting.

If you did it in real life you would not think so!

I don't know. I like rough weather. (If were on a ship that can stand it.)

11 bft? Waves hights of 5 meters? Been there, done that and I didn't like it

Waveheights of 15-20 meters, been there and liked it.
Waveheights of 2-3 meters, been there and did not like it at all.
But it all depends on what ship/boat you're sailing with

Yeah. If you're on a liner say then you feel safe. I wouldn't like it on a small boat though.

I would like to rid in waves on a ferry or cruiseliner but i would hate trying to get to sleep in a thunderstorm, too noisey.

lol.

I think that if you read between the lines in the reply by Wout he says: â€œItâ€™s easier to see rough weather on a PC monitor than actually be in it at the very rough seaâ€

Maybe you can simulate it somehow by getting yourself a hydraulic motion platform and sit on it with your computer. Maybe also use an water compressor blowing ice cold water directly at your head to simulate heavy rain, and back of this a major fan blowing a big bunch of air straight at you..

Wellâ€¦ donâ€™t forget to make the PC watertightâ€¦

Sounds intresting. I like saling in stormy weather. But I would want to be in a big ship not a small boat.

KDS · « **Reply #11 on:** May 13, 2007, 16:31:46 »

I would like to be in a small boat either.

playforpain · « **Reply #12 on:** May 14, 2007, 00:47:02 »

I know I was talking about in the game. Thers no way I want to be caught in a hudge storm.

KDS · « **Reply #13 on:** May 14, 2007, 13:56:14 »

As you can tell by everything I said I wouldn't in either world!

A big freaking Katrina storm

Not something to make jokes about, thank you.

greetings,
Yes,afther all the years,that i'm onboard of different vessels.Well i've been in all kinds of vessels.I was on a 19 meter vessel in gale 10,in the middle of the channel,on my way to st-Peters port(Geurnsey).At that time i liked it,but i was much younger than.
Now,i like the sun,kalm weather al lot more.
Maybe the age has to do with it.

I duno, I young and I am not too kene on huge waves, i like the sun and calmer waves for my journys on ferries.

I am sailing for a long time by now, and when your on a 10m yacht with the prediction of a storm, you don't want to be on the water.
I like clear weather with a wind like 6 bft and not to big waves. But offcourse, on a computer screen...

I have allready been twice on a Dover-Calais Ferry and on my way back, there where high waves (sometimes water splashed over), and I liked it for an hour, but longer

I'm a bit like that with waves.

Will ships turn slower when the rudders is "jumped" out of the water in storms in ss08?

oddandre · « **Reply #21 on:** June 17, 2007, 16:13:47 »

how kan i get realy ugly weather?

Hamill-450 · « **Reply #22 on:** June 29, 2007, 12:26:14 »

i would really like to see some bigger waves in the game

Captain Kool · « **Reply #23 on:** June 30, 2007, 05:26:50 »

I thought the rain in 2006 looked really sad the rain surrounds the boat and if you zoom out and make it to a helicopter view you can see a circle of no-rain. So with this I like sunny weather best

Stormy is the best
