Happy boating :)
Wow, I just got this after watching some videos on YT. It is so much better than I thought it would be! It gives a whole new perspective in MSFS. I like to sail around the Island of Madeira and also the Lakefront in Chicago. It handles and sounds just like a real boat. It's AMAZING!!!
A bit overpriced even on sale. The throttle does not work from my X52 throttle that works on all planes and jets. The steering doesn't work right and the center position changes with each turn. I like to help new entrepreneurs so I'm hoping 2.0 will fix the problems. Because of the flaws, it's not at all fun. The throttle sound is locked at a high RPM and the boat moves slowly with no change in sound - may be due to the fact that the throttle does not work. The model looks nice but starts in the air unless you can find a water runway in the sim.

I just purchased the boat yesterday after most aquatic freeware stuff did not really work well for me. So I decided to give a commercial product a try. The result was Adi´s Speedboat. The watercraft has a nice price and also works fine for me in the MSFS. The boat works fine on coastal waters, rivers and lakes and gives you a scenic look at places from Manhattan or San Francisco up the Greek Islands or Indonesia. Even placing the ship at a more or less self-choosen position works fine for me. The boat is still in early development with some addition still needing to be implemented, but the products already works fine for me as watercraft. So even now, with MSFS and it´s limited capabilities, I can recommend the ship.
This is a fantastic little addon! The model is absolutely stunning and it feels very real! My only suggestion is to increase the steering sensitivity a bit and tune the sounds a little bit more. Otherwise it's perfect for giving us a different perspective of the MSFS world!
