Meet the Catamaran Lagoon 450, now available in Microsoft Flight Simulator through Marine RM, the newest vessel for a better nautical simulation in the game. The Lagoon 450 presents a level of detail and features that make it stand out among the boat options available in the simulator so far.
One of the best features of this catamaran is its integrated multifunction tablet. With it, you can enjoy a complete sailing experience, including the ability to activate the anchor, make sails (which are decorative) visible, adjust mooring ropes and even change the deck material, providing total control over the sail. appearance and operation of the vessel. There is also a GPS screen for more precise navigation and ignition control via a key on the dashboard, with precise animations and sounds. Attention to detail was the focus here, with 4k PBR textures providing a very realistic visual representation. Additionally, with 13 different color options, players can customize their Lagoon 450 to their individual preferences, changing colors and materials during gameplay for unique type combinations, making each sailing experience unique. Another special feature was the modeling of the passengers, who are represented in a highly detailed way.
Still on systems, the lighting controls are exceptional, allowing players to control the catamaran's internal and external lights. The ability to create a romantic nighttime or party atmosphere with animated lights is a classy touch that takes the simulation experience to the next level.

To use the Walkaround feature in MSFS 2024, it is important to follow these steps:
Turn off the boat using the ignition key
Using the multifunction tablet, activate the anchor or leisure buoys
Exit the boat - your character will be stuck below the boat and unable to move
Using the cursor, enable active pause
Move your character to walk freely
Disable active pause and walk freely around the boat and the scenery
IT IS IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW THESE STEPS EVERY TIME YOU WANT TO EXIT THE BOAT IN WALKAROUND MODE
This happens due to the lack of documentation covering information about the exact location where the character will spawn in compatible 2020/2024 models.
Use the multifunction tablet to activate lights and other boat functions, such as anchor, mooring ropes and in-water buoy controls are only available when the boat is turned off. Sails are decorative and therefore do not react to the wind. The boat is motorized
