I remember on the old forum there was a discussion about winshield wipers, but thats another topic. KM

I brought that subject up. I think it is a great idea. I have seen working wipers on a plane in Flight Simulator 2004.

Whipers, of which there has been a keyboard command since MSFS 98, were supposed to be an option for quite some time, however, I have not flown a plane that had active whipers..

VS has some very corny wakes.

Yer, I don't like'm.

Master Captain · « **Reply #28 on:** May 28, 2007, 12:52:12 »

Yea, The waves in VS are very bad. KM

We should have waves like the coast gaurd cutter's make in the SF bay, its really amazing. The smallest wave splashes on teh bow and a whole array of white mist floats up to the wheelhouse window

Wouldn't that be a little to much to ask for when this is just the first version with waves and such?

Indeed, the Development team have really listened to us all for the features in the 2008 version of Ship Simulator, and it's looking amazing so far, in my opinion

Ship Sim AND it's fan base will only grow from now on

Regards.

DJM.

Yer and on ship sim 06 the bow waves kind of go on forever and if you know what i mean by this doesn't leave a trail of where the boat has been but not the wakes off the propellors.

help!!

I get annoyed with the wake texture of SS, I do not like how it does not fade, but instead, you can see the computer simply deactivating a section of the texture. I am hoping a transitional opacity effect can come into play in the future.

look at this video for an ex of the bow waves in SS08 http://www.vstepvideos.com/ShipSim2008/video/pilot_demo_of_bow_wave.wmv (http://www.vstepvideos.com/ShipSim2008/video/pilot_demo_of_bow_wave.wmv)

THoughts anyone? (Thanks MC)

Maik · « **Reply #40 on:** June 11, 2007, 15:18:01 »

Looks impressive, now just to wait for a vid where you van see the damage

Will there be varuable hight in the waves? not that all the bowwaves are the same.

Maybe I`m alittle OT but PMDG`s Boeing 737 have working wipers

Captain Davies · « **Reply #42 on:** June 11, 2007, 20:44:37 »

The bow wave look a lot better, I just hope the wake has been improved. As our ship turned we would only see two points of...wake...instead of one large one streching along the length of the ship.

Yeah, coming from the bow and another from the stern - that always bugged me.

This one has nice boww waves!

Master Captain · « **Reply #45 on:** June 21, 2007, 13:20:28 »

whoa!!!! I sure hope thats from SS08

I'd love to see bow waves, and wakes like that. Where did you find the picture? KM

J3nsen · « **Reply #46 on:** June 21, 2007, 13:25:11 »

I am not sure if that is from the game, from the other screen shots I have seen.

Ship Sim · « **Reply #48 on:** June 22, 2007, 00:32:40 »

Sadly I think not.

I think that is from another thing they did. But If you look at that movie of the patroal boat on youtube that is what it sohuld look like.

AriesDW · « **Reply #49 on:** June 22, 2007, 02:42:55 »

Yeah. I have seen some of VSteps other work, such as the Rotterdam demo (for another program) and it was nicer than Ship Simulator.

The kind of waves we need . . . . Silent Hunter 4. That has actual wakes and everything! Those devs went nuts.
