Updated Large Center Controls
Hello Boaters, The Large Center Controls are now enabled from the startup menu and not by clicking in the water. This enables the user in the Man Overboard scenario to click on the new location of the MOB. Enjoy!
New Dock Configuration
Hello Boaters, As you might have noticed, we have slightly modified the old dock configuration.
