the rubber is missing from the pic

NathanC · « **Reply #8 on:** June 11, 2008, 15:00:38 »

I think you'll find every shipsim vessel except the Bugsier has something missing

I've counted and there are more errors on the Pride of Rotterdam than the Titanic, but i'm not so rude to make a list

WOW! Out of curiousity, What exactly did you do that made the ship capsize?

NathanC · « **Reply #10 on:** June 14, 2008, 15:28:01 »

Put the anchors down just before she hits 5 knots

Captain Tony · « **Reply #11 on:** June 16, 2008, 03:18:49 »

Okay-y-y. I'll keep in mind not to sail on anything you're piloting (lol)

same works with the Latitude!

on the red jet 4 you can can allmost flip it over end ways

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #14 on:** June 18, 2008, 12:53:15 »

The same works with Sherpa.

It's a pity you can't drop the anchor at speeds above 5kts, the results would be even more spectacular!!!

NathanC · « **Reply #15 on:** June 18, 2008, 15:03:07 »

Every ship in the game is affected by this trick in some way - except the Red Eagle of course, that doesn't have any anchors

Try this with the Northern Star fishing vessel and Igor.K too, you'll be amazed

Capt. Le Velle · « **Reply #17 on:** July 02, 2008, 23:08:31 »

Just drop the anchor just before you reach 5kts, you will be amazed

Does a real ship in the real world also capsize when the anchors are lowered while the ship has some speed? Or is it a bug in Shipsim? I managed to capsize the Pride of Rotterdam in the Nieuwe Waterweg. You could let your ship capsize in the multiplayer mode, then you are playing a ship's disaster.

McGherkin · « **Reply #20 on:** December 27, 2009, 15:22:58 »

Depends. In most situations a ship will drag her anchors along the sea bed, but if the anchors catch a strong hold on something like a massive rock, or a shipwreck, then it could do some serious damage. Having said that, the POR's anchor chains and winches e.t.c probably wouldn't be strong enough to pull her under, since they'd have to be strong enough to lift the whole ship in the air in order to overcome her displacement. But an anchor could probably roll a ship onto its side in certain circumstances, if the anchor was down on one side and the ship was moving at speed.

MokMok · « **Reply #21 on:** December 27, 2009, 16:11:35 »

Capsizing the Pride of Rotterdam by dropping her anchors at a speed just below 5 knots isn't possible in the multiplayer mode.

The RUBBER!!? what rubber?

In some parts of the world a rubber is almost unmentionable!!

I did this to the POR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HknqN3DKNoQ and it's my most popular video on my YouTube channel.
