This pack will be updated in a future version with a fourth boat.The boats have a boarding ramp with a choice of angle to adapt to a deck or pier higher or lower than the boat. They also have mooring ropes and anchor chain. Navigation physics has been improved and all boats have sound and lighting at night, as well as rocking with water waves and effects such as water trails. The boats in this pack are: Grandy White, Grizzly Small Fishing Boat and Madalena.

INSTALLATION SIZE:

Total download file - 221mb

HOW TO INSTALL:

Locate the Microsoft Flight Simulator installation folder
You need to find and open the folder called Community
Copy the three folders "Marine RM Grandy White", "Marine RM Grizzly" and  "Marine RM Madalena" you just extracted into the Community folder
Start the game and the Grandy White, Grizzly and Madalena in your hangar ready to sail!

HOW TO PLAY:

Start the game at the headland of some seaplane runway, put the engine on 100% and wait a few seconds for the ship to start moving. The water trails and smoke will start with the slowest speed you are on the Destroyer and Battleship. These ships do not have a reverse engine for the time being, but this will be implemented in an upcoming update. Click L to activate an overnight navigation beacon. Quickly activate and deactivate the landing gear to honk. It is possible to start anywhere in the world on water, read the last paragraph of the following section to understand how. 

IMPORTANT TO KNOW:

This add-on will continue to be developed for improvements such as: Interior improvements, functional gauges, improved navigation physics and corrected lighting. Soon all models will receive this and more updates. The amount of water trails is limited by Asobo for now, when this limitation is removed from the SDK boats will have more sprays on the front and sides.

You can activate anchor and mooring ropes to approach a harbor or pier using Yoke mode. To do this, follow these steps exactly:

In the cockpit, activate the anchor and mooring rope
Turn off the engine using Ctrl + Shift + E
Wait for the engine to completely shut down, in a few moments the smoke will disappear.
Use Active Pause
When the smoke is gone, press "Y" to use Yoke mode to position yourself on the desired pier and when it is positioned, exit Yoke mode and do not deactivate the active pause at any time.
That way your boat will remain static in the harbor with the image-ready mooring ropes allowing you to roam around.

Raise or lower the flaps to make the boarding bridge higher or lower in relation to your boat

The speed of all boats is limited to less than 40kts for water stability reasons.

When starting the departure, the ship may appear stuck in the water or sinking. This is because the SDK does not recognize the 3D model of the boat as an entire object, regardless of the contact points. For now, a solution to this is to press the "Y" KEY to enter and press it again to exit Yoke Mode to correctly position the ship in the water. This will definitely be improved soon.

Don't start cold, a boat's starter function is unrealistic without a panel. Water waves can start out "hard", with a strange texture. This changes gradually during the game, when turning in any direction.

The following improvements will be added in the next update:

More paintings will be added in Madalena

Any bugs will be improved and fixed on all boats

KNOW ISSUES:

For now, due to an SDK limitation, the boats do not remain 100% stationary on the water, but this is being worked on to happen soon.
