zenataomm Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 Just had a go, I think more reality could be added like ... Fisher'ists sitting on the moorings Locks being reversed in your face as you approach A bladeful at the exact moment you commit to turning into the marina Doggy doo where you tie and untie your ropes I have to say I thought it very good and the responses quite realistic.

Edit - ah right you don't have too, there is more than enough clear space just to move forward. Honestly.... I have the stern mooring line on, the other mooring lines off, full chat in reverse and the bow isn't coming out!

doratheexplorer Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 The boat handles better than mine!!! Seriously though, this is excellent! I couldn't get work properly on a mac on either firefox or safari so I downloaded and it's much better like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
