New features 

• Night lights: the nightlights switch on and off automatically following the time of the day. Limitation: some loading time is required when the nightlights are switched on or off.  

• Freedom to look under vessel with orbit camera to see the propulsion in action. With this viewpoint, you can see how the controls affect the movement of azipods, propellors and rudders. This will increase your understanding of the propulsion system and help you manoeuvre your vessel.
