Hi All,
I have uploaded the update of version 9.7 for Virtual Sailor NG, in this update the following features were added:
using this adjustment we can adjust the actual speed profile for ships and boats.
How to adjust the boat performance using the new feature:
1. Load the boat that you wish to adjust, put it in empty sea, turn on the motor and also set high simulation rate ( Control + F4 )
2. Press V to show Vehicle dialog, then select the Adjust tab, then press the performance button.
3. Set throttle value to any value you wish to adjust between -100% to 100%, for example set 40%.
4. Let the speed reach its stable value.
5. Using the mouse, drag the point on the graph where you see the grey bar appear ( at 40% throttle ) lower, to a value of 0.5 for example.
6. Press Save Profile, and see the speed of the boat decrease.
7. Repeat this process for the entire speed range until you get the performance that you wish to have.
I have make such a profile on the boat called Ranger, please look at this boat for example of a realistic profile.
Enjoy !
