The "Ocean Star"? Yes, she now has free turnable azimuth thrusters..

[carl]

nice

[Flygfluga]

what's "free turnable azimuth thrusters" 

[Bottman]

The "OCEAN STAR" is a pod-driven vessel. Each pod (or azimuth thruster) can be turned around by 360 degree (or more if you want) into each direction. So there is no need to use the engines in reverse and you are free to turn them where ever you want in both directions. At the beginning of the development, it was just possible to turn the thrusters 180 degree into each direction at the "Ocean Star". If there were a few degree more needed, it was necessary to turn the thrusters the whole way round. It's amazing now and very comfortable for manoeuvring.

[Bottman]

Yeah, the first in the row is used for the "Bugsier 2", the third could be typical for the "Ocean Star", well maybe somewhat larger of course..

[Rbtsmith]

Is there any documentation or tutorial on how to use the controls on the Ocean Star?
