Updates since 5.6.1:

  • A significant update to the ground contact model, so contact is checked all around the vessel, rather than just checking the under-keel depth. This will be the first step towards full modelling of behaviour around docking, and a simple contact model has been included. Land objects can now also be used to simulate docks.

  • Non-follow up steering controls have been added, as well as simulated operation (or failure) of two redundant rudder pumps.

  • Additional details modelled with 3d models (such as harbour or marina details) can now appear on the radar.

  • Multiple colour schemes (e.g. night and day) for the radar display.

  • The process for loading world models has been significantly modified internally, which means that:

  • 3dem binary terrain models can be used.

  • The requirements for exact heightmap sizes have been relaxed.

  • RGB encoded heightmaps now supported (as well as greyscale)

  • Many smaller improvements, including new startup options.
