Have you enabled "play music" checkbox from sound settings?

I started planning this same immediately after learning Ilan's passing away. Also there was a short discussion in the Facebook group, but sadly that post is deleted for some reason. There have been attemps to contact Ilan's family, including me, but sadly the family members have been reluctant towar...

That file points to DirectX. Try first to reinstall your DirectX.

I once asked Ilan about this and he said that the current weather API he uses does allow only limited amount of requests per time.

Have you checked the instructions of creating vehicles?

Are you sure the error is not in the scenery/object positioning?

Will we see these updateds added to the Steam version? Now all we need is a performance fix for the VSNG Sadly only possible way to increase performance is to use the latest version of DirectX library, which is version number 12 and VSNG still uses the old version 9 of it, which was released back i...

Hi Since updating my sim, I've noticed a 'wobble' with the autopilot when using time compression. In previous versions of VS:NG I could use >300x time compression with no problems (except I need to reduce the simrate a bit when I get close to a waypoint). Now when I use time compression, the ship t...

Ilan posted a video to Youtube a few days ago from vacation in Thailand.

Hi, it should have been fixed in the latest version (9.8.8), at least I have not had that bug anymore after updating.

There is a software called Deep Exploration for that. I have never personally used it, so I don't know anything about it.

Thanks you

You can just download 9.8.6, all the features of version 9.8.5 are there.

You can add radio traffic i.e. to inside.wav sound file, which autoplays on loop when you are in pilot view.

I have asked Ilan to implement the door behavior and add separate control panel for them.

On me the version 9.8 crashes randomly when I press M key to open map dialog, I have passed this information to Ilan, but he has not yet responsed to it.

Can you tell me about the situations which cause the crashing?

Do you know about any Finnish content, especially scenery (ports), for the simulator? A dude under the nickname RoRo Finland produced quite nice scenery for some Finnish and Swedish ports but the stuff has not been updated for a long time. I am aware of most older content, I am wondering if there i...

I am sure he is.But we must remember that VS(F) is Ilan's freetime project, so he has not always time, interest or energy for it. If you want VS to have updates and new features more frequently, we need more paying users. Nothing is free. So everyone who wish to help the development of VS, you can f...

You need first to put bridge_x, bridge_y and bridge_z parameters in vehicle.cfg to bridge area, not to null. Easiest way to get it right is to use same parameters than helm_x, helm_y and helm_z which defines the default viewpoint of the vehicle - if it is in the bridge. If not, then just go to bridg...

Are all the new sounds in correct format (wav) and sample rate of 44100, do they sound if you put them to sounds directory? (remember to backup copy the original sounds first) there is also some sounds, you cannot set to custom, i.e. autopilot

Thanks

Version 9.4.5 is completely same than version 9.4, but there has been done some bugfixes.

Land on objects feature is currently only in VSF.

In phpBB forum software all sent private messages goes first to outbox, and until the recipient of the message logs in to the forum, the message goes to "sent messages" folder.

You do not paste the data. Save your OpenCPN or OpenSeamap data to a .kml file and load this file, using the button in my tool. In the Github repository you find a Wiki, where it is explained how to set the internal identifier (name) within the kml-file, to avoid this error message. Ok, I will try ...

If you want, you can try this Python script. It works but is not yet considered final from my side.

Once you converted to VS:NG or...

I have emailed about the slow rotating speed to Ilan since 2008. I have never got explanation despite of asking directly about it multiple times. Still waiting it to be fixed.

Many people use Trimble SketchUp for modeling, and then Deep Exploration for converting it to .x filetype.

10 years ago there was possibility to use freely a plugin called 3D Rad for SketchUp, which I used for converting of port and buoy models, but a lot of time has passed since the days.

Fixed thrusters too strong when using the panel controls. Hi Ilan, thank you for this awesome work :) Please note that bow and stern thrusters in real life have specific power kW for each one. Usually on merchant vessels with bow and stern thrusters the bow thruster have more power than stern thrus...

I would use VSF, as VS NG is still lacking some features or has small bugs compared to VSF. But the good comes slowly
