I have been reading the suggestions and they are great but I do feel there are some vital areas that are being overlooked that are essential to realism. The addition of current is fantastic as apart from Virtual Sailor this is the only other marine simulator that simulates this. The wind effects in Nautis Home are the best I have came across which is great as wind and current are key variables massively influencing passage planning and boat handling. I believe the following would take Nautis Home to the next level:
1. Tides follow the direction of rivers and estuaries and their set corresponds to ebbing or flooding tides and their drifts corresponds to hours into tide and whether the tide is a neap or spring (based off rules of 12ths and tide tables).
An option to enable current set and drift to be automatically controlled in the open sea and coast so it matches the tidal state of the area (based off main stream of flood in tidal atlas).
It would be great if non tidal rivers (perhaps further upstream) still contains fresh water current perhaps when rainy weather is set.
Thank you for taking the time to read my suggestions.
