POR stabilisation needed from Calais to Dover

When POR is moored/docked at her berth in Rotterdam, then she goes a bit too much up and down. Such a large ship should be reasonably stable, especially in a harbor. How is this possible? Even at sea, she moves too much. I feel more like sailing a fishing boat than a ferry. Crossed many times the channel in bad weather, those channel ferrys had more problems with drifting away(wind and currents) than with their stabilization. Stabilisation was one of POR highlights when she was built, no? What about stabilizers and ballast tanks for SSE?

I played also my first mission and there is no traffic.

POR achieve apparently too fast its top speed, that caused problems with docking/undocking.
When I touch the Calais/Rotterdam quay with a speed of 0,8knts, then I fly away with an inclidible speed of 8knts. Set up the best ghraphics applications, but the Dover cliffs are just half visible.

POR is not stable for such a large ship, especially in the harbor.

What can I do?

Hi there,

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do because the dynamic of the ship are encoded into the game. Only the devlopers can modify the ships dynamics.

VSTEP are reading the forums though and it might end up being stabilized in a patch at some point

[krisostend]

Strange that no one observes those problems. There is still a clear difference in stabilization between a major ferry, like Pride of Rotterdam and a smal fishing boat. Or am I wrong?

Nope, you do have a valid point.

And as such, it IS already noted, and is currently also being looked into, as far as I am aware!!
