A New Release
We have just released a new version of the BoatDocker. Many of the changes are behind the scenes and we believe there are several subtle performance improvements. As always, please let us know how it works for you. TheBoatDocker Team
Rudder Appears in the Twin Engine Inboard
Kevin suggested we add the appearance of a rudder in the Twin Engine inboard version. It helps during the training process.
Different Boat Sizes
Thanks to your suggestions, we have modified the tonnage selection so that heavier boats are now longer and wider. Let us know what you think.
Two New Dock Configurations
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 […]
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. 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 […]
Select Thruster Configuration
Thanks to Jonathan’s feedback, the user can now select a bow/stern thruster configuration from the startup menu.
Two new Hot Keys
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
Updated Speedometer
Thanks to J.T.’s comments, we have corrected the speedometer for different displacements (tonnage). Let us know how it is working.
Fixed for Mozilla Firefox
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
