MASTS AND SAILS ANIMATIONS

The sails are animated with two variants: upper 2 sails and bottom 3 sails.
Setting 3 bottom sails - automatic start sailing, adding 2 upper sails - the ship sailing faster
The masts has two positions: ready to sail and parking pos. - according to reality 
( at last, more then 720 moving elements) Masts and sails are animated independently,
so you can set sails at the parking pos. or during the rotation sequence.
All animations are controlled on the pulpit monitors in virtual cockpit.


         

         

         

EXTERIOR MODEL

The model is very detailed and accurate in comparison to origin. She has beautiful smooth shape,
even though she has many boolean holes. For better frame-rate I did not make a few original parts,
e.g. two pontoon boats from the bow side. Behavior in the water is very nice among other things thanks to crosswind swing.
You will see in practice. As usual, the parts shining by reflect natural lights.



Very exact, detailed model.



Good behaviour on the water.



Several steering possibilities ( with or with no joystick )



Perfect details

HINTS

  - using sail set - lower one by one - take min. 2 sec. interval ( use panel set-lower sequence OR remote control - don't mix )
  - use keyboard keys only OR VC switches only - don't mix them together ( you lost correct sequences )
       to concern: 8, 9, 11, 12, 15 (toggles)
  - making turns at full throttle - do this gently and slightly
  - at the minor wind you can use y-axis of joystick to make greater list on sides
  - to sailing, you need a wind ( behavior in the ocean under the full sail )
  - Maltese Falcon has been tested at the wind  0 - 50 knots
  - motor tested at 0 - 5 knots ( only for maneuvering ) if you will have a problem to sail against the wind, set sail.
  - to hear environment sound in the sea, adjust this slider in sound menu at 90%
  - to get crosswind feeling you need adjust main menu:

1- go to the MAIN MENU



2- go to the SETTINGS



3- go to the REALISM and set general slider full to the right.
