The following articles provide all of the information you need to know in order to operate The Boat Docker simulator.
Hello Boaters, Thanks to J.T.’s comments, we have added a new dock configuration including Mooring Buoys. In addition, we have made some extensive “behind the scenes” changes. So, please, refresh your browser in the menu page, and again at the simulator page, and then test it out for us and send your comments to theboatdocker@gmail.com. Thanks to Captain […]
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!
Hello Boaters, As you might have noticed, we have slightly modified the old dock configuration. More importantly, we have redesigned the system to rapidly add new dock configurations, which can then be selected from a startup menu. So, we need your help! Send your dock configuration sketches to theboatdocker@gmail.com and we will try to implement […]
Thanks to Jonathan’s feedback, the user can now select a bow/stern thruster configuration from the startup menu.
Thanks to Renz’ feedback, we have added two new hotkeys, ‘C’ and ‘V’ to get the left and right shifters back to neutral and 600 RPM with one keystroke. TheBoatDocker Team
Thanks to J.T.’s comments, we have corrected the speedometer for different displacements (tonnage). Let us know how it is working.
Hello Boaters, Thanks to Renz and others for letting us know that the simulator was not working in the Firefox browser. We think we fixed that problem, so refresh your browser and try again. TheBoatDocker Team
Hello Boaters, Check out the new speedometer. It measures speed in knots. Please let us know if our calibration is correct. TheBoatDocker Team
Thanks to our friend Tomas, we have added some new hotkeys in addition to the old ones. Tomas said: “Hi, I use a Mac computer so you could set the BOW thrust to (Q=left) and (W=right). Then STERN thrust could be (A=left) and (S=right). I also found a very nice shareware program called “USB-overdrive” for Mac. […]
Hello Boaters, Thanks to Phil’s suggestions, we have added upgraded the wind and water instrumentation. There is now a wind gauge that attempts to emulate a commercial gauge. We added a water gauge (which in reality doesn’t exist) to control the water speed and direction. The settings page still allows the user to choose a […]
