Can you post a picture of the RPA's bridge?

Hello DJM,

thanks for your reply.

No, I can't see a shadow - I see a clear visible bearthline - and this is the problem.

A radar is working like following method: An electronic radio wave is send by the radar beam; it hits a wall, a ship or what else inside the visible line and is reflected by such object. The radar beam receives the echo and calculates the distance by the time the signal needs from sending to receiving.

Like already noted, ONLY OBJECTS IN A CLEAR VISIBLE LINE. In conclusion to this: Nothing behind a object exept higher buildings than the first in line.

So normally you wouldn't see the bearth behind the building because the buliding is to high for the radarmast.

Slowly the SS is getting better and better.

A rudderangle indicator and radar ... WONDERFUL

What is it for a strange button on the panel of the Red Eagle?

Weird, those two ships are on the back of the box and on VSTEP's youtube profile. They already modeled it. :x

Indeed it is

Do you mean the little button on it's own? That's the horn

Big radar returns (i.e. tall buildings) normally obscure anything behind - it is said that it "shadows" everything behind it.

A knotmeter

I noticed this on most of the ships, now I can read the speed without using the info panel, liked that.

hey DJM, i have a question, when you start the engines on a ship with an exhaust funnel like the RPA12 or fairmount sherpa, is a a big puff of smoke or anything, and is a realistic starting sound?

Checked this, but couldn't see any smoke, sorry
