Physics is *extremely* low 1.4 (out of maximum of 32)
- which provides truly great movement and sim crossings
Can carry Captain and up to 5 Crew
- any 'seated' avatar can touch boat to select new (unoccupied) position
- Helm, R/L Decks, R/L Seats, Bow
Captain (Helm) operates the boat (based on BWind)
- 'raise', then left-right to steer, up-down to trim sails, or help
Owner can toggle the boat between Public (anyone can captain) or Private (only owner can captain)
FOR BUILDERS:
Includes Hull & Decks & Sails texture and UV-Maps
- Diffuse (Color) textures and even Normal (Bump) and Specular (Shineyness)
- to make it easy for you to recolor or personalize
Rotating HEADING / WIND / COMPASS with SPEED:
- when sailing, a special boat direction compass appears on the cabin door
- top of the compass is the boat heading (same as line-#1 of the text HUD)
- center of the compass shows the current boat speed (same as line-#2 of the text HUD)
- top color above the compass shows current wind condition (green is best)
- 'red' color shows the wind origin (same as line-#3 of the text HUD)
=======================================================
- 'help' says a summary of the commands:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
raise - start sailing (left-right arrow keys steer)
lower - lower sails (and coast)
moor - stop sailing
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
n,s,e,w,nw,ne,sw,se - set Wind direction
8,11,15,18,21,25 - set Wind speed
id nnaa (ex. 12AB) - set boat ID
hud - hud switch (standard/advanced)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HUD colour shows trim settings:
|>><<| red = way too loose (use DOWN key to pull sails inward)
|><| yellow = too loose (use DOWN key to pull sails inward)
|=| green = optimum
|<>| cyan = too tight (use UP key to push sails outward)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OWNER ONLY COMMANDS:
public - ANYONE can sail (owner only command) - this is the DEFAULT
owner - only OWNER can sail (owner only command)
=======================================================
Pretty good purchase
The movement is certainly smooth. The crossing lag between sims is minimal, something that surprised me gladly. It's very easy to sail and relaxing.
As commented with the creator, a few details need to be nailed -like the captain's animation or the unavailableoption to change the color of the pieces out of editors-, but it's a nice purchase if you don't want to spend too much in a small sailboat.
