Happy new year !

Today I have uploaded the version of 9.4 of Virtual Sailor NG, this version has the following new features:

• Added slider2 joystick axis for supporting ship controllers.
• Fixed point index errors in docking dialog.
• Added two more anchor points on bow.
• Fixed possible crash when program starts.
• Drawing boat path on maps by default.
• Auto zoom on track view by default.
• Added wakes and track history on RADAR.
• Synthetic tracks on radar by additional button.
• Fixed bug in bump shaders when key mapped bitmaps are used.
• Added animation buttons on the dock dialog.
• Fixed throttles positions of boat panel.
• Maximum number of boat lights increased to 128.
• Fixed asymmetric bow and stern thruster behavior.
• Added cloud thickness and second layer, also to forecast.
• All objects are lit when brightness is low and not just at night.

The most notable features are the introduction of "lighting time" rather than a "night time"
which means that objects are lit even during the day when brightness is low, which is kind of
what happens in real life.

Also the introduction of cloud layer and cloud thickness improves the realism of the scenery, where
as before you could not really show an overcast sky now you can and even control it very nicely.

The RADAR view has not Track rendered as shadows of ship positions and the previous track is
available as Line, but cannot be cropped properly, so it is not necessary to have.

Please email me if you see any issue, as usual the work continues, quite a few things remain.

Thanks,

Ilan

Whatd does the animation 1 2 3 4 on docking pointds do ;

You can activate the different animations the vessel might have. Like Bowvisor on ferries. etc.

Hi every one please can you add possibility of adjusting
Trim and list of ship to create more realistic situations.
