I've now run through a few of the game's possibilities; it's pretty good, but with a few glitches:
- FAR TOO FEW VIEWS!!!! The aft/fore view should be brought back, not to mention the aforementioned fixed view.
- Controls: Where are the aft control on Red Eagle? Remember; this is a double ended ferry!(btw: for night sailing with this ferry, the lanterns should be reversible)
Also, there is no bridge wing controls on PoR, which is both more realistic and also a helpful tool.
I also ran aground with PoR when trying to dock in Calais.
The view stuff is the most irritating about this game, as with its 2 predecessors.
Three views broadens the game's possibilities in an annoying way; the graphics and the realism in the ships' behaviour deserves better!
There should also be possibilities for opening small view/camera windows when manouvering from the bridge,
as most of the large ships are equipped with such. This will add greatly to the realism; the way the game is today, it just cannot be called fully realistic because you'll have to view the ship from the air to dock safely.
Such moveable cameras with windows gives the player the possibility to manouvre the ship from the bridge.
Again, I must say, such a possibility must not be underestimated, as it brings the game into new levels of realism. If I wanna dock a ship from the air, I might as well go back to the good old Ports of Call.
VSTEP: You've done a great, great job with upgrading the game, especially with realism, graphics and stuff:
Now its time to upgrade the game's viewing possibilities!
