Capital ship simulator Patch#
"When you get in really close, you can see buses driving along the waterfront.ADDED: second bridge sentry (remember you can deactivate the sentries by destroying the generator) ADDED: AI will now utilize Barsk Security Guards on the two highest difficulty settings ADDED: "allow uneven team" host option (allows for 1vs3 games for example) ADDED: self-destruct terminal to the bridge, after a 60 second timer it blows up the whole capital ship, AI will try to stop the timer ADDED: "Allow Self-Destruct" host option ADDED: B2 attack and Fireo robot spawn locations are now randomized ADDED: impact sound inside the capital ship when B2 attack pod hit the ship ADDED: hitmarker for bombs dropped by the bomber fighter Thank you all for your support, if you have any feedback or issues let me know! Also included in this patch are loading screen tips, more AI spawn variations so enemy AI doesn't always spawn in the same locations, and a few bugfixes! There are also two new server settings, the first allowing uneven teams, if you want to play 1vs3 PvP for example, and the second one allows class changes mid-round, giving players the opportunity to change their class after they died, with the trade-off of losing their resource points when doing so. A thump signified one crane had dropped its load. As he piloted a catamaran ferry towards the Ferry Terminal, container cranes could be seen moving around in the dock area to our left. Mr Buckens demonstrated just how realistic the model is.

The Auckland sailing area will allow the school to carry out locally oriented exercises, and the city will be available as a location for Transas simulator users overseas. The highest level of detail is reserved for the port area.


A medium-detail area covers the Auckland Harbour approaches, including navigational features. A large low-detail area covering the Hauraki Gulf is bounded by Waitemata Harbour, Warkworth, the tip of Coromandel Peninsula and the Firth of Thames. The Auckland sailing area is divided into three areas of detail. Mr Buckens, a former ship's master, says the Auckland model is realistic enough to remind him of when he sailed here in real life. The Auckland sailing area, the maritime equivalent of a Microsoft Flight Simulator scenery add-on, was developed using data supplied by the Hydrographic Office, as well as direct observation and photography. But last month the school took delivery of a highly detailed model of Auckland Harbour and its approaches, developed in association with Transas and the Port of Auckland Authority. Although the simulator has greatly helped the school's navigation training and anti-collision radar exercises, until recently students had to be content with training in about 60 overseas sailing areas. Each ship appears on the other's radar screens, and displays and simulated collisions are possible. Consoles in nearby rooms enable up to two other simulated ships to be operated at the same time. The simulator models a variety of vessels, from small, rigid, inflatable boats as used in search and rescue operations to oil tankers.

They run a variety of software packages supplied by St Petersburg-based marine electronics company Transas. The present system consists of 14 PCs linked by a central Windows NT server.
Capital ship simulator upgrade#
The school installed the simulator two years ago and continues to upgrade it. "They all came out feeling quite queasy, and these were experienced masters," he says. Lecturer Kees Buckens says the realism of the simulator was proved recently when he took a party of sea captains for a simulated voyage in the English Channel in rough weather.

Thanks to seven back projection screens, which display a 180-degree 3-D animated view reflecting the motion of the "ship", the illusion of movement is immediate and convincing. By MICHAEL FOREMAN To enter the main simulator room at the New Zealand Maritime School in Auckland is to walk on to the bridge of a ship under way.
