Steering Wheel reccomendations

iNrako — Sat, 25 Apr 2026 08:52:05 GMT

Hello guys, what steering wheel do you recommend. I have been comparing the Logitech g923 wheel and the thrustmaster t300rs. The thrustmaster seems to be a better option since its belt driven which is said to be smoother or should i just opt for the g923 since its retailed for half the price(because its used thats why its much cheaper).

Night colors for chart plotter?

Edward — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 03:11:39 GMT

Could there be a different color palette for the electronic chart at night?

All of the ECDIS I have sailed with have a selection of color palettes for different times of day. The bright daytime palette is difficult at night.

Also, I wonder if some scenery lighting, (buildings, etc) might remain on a little later past sunrise, or come on earlier before sunset. The sudden loss of all scenery lighting is jarring and at times a little disorienting.

Thanks much,

just arrived in New York with the Bandit ! Happy Sundays

Add Independent Control for Rear and Side Ramps on the Cheviot Bandit

Seafarer — Sun, 19 Apr 2026 07:01:50 GMT

I noticed that, in the exploration scenario “Only a short while to the isle,” the vessel Cheviot Bandit had its rear ramp open on the quay. Could you add the ability to open/close this rear ramp, and perhaps the side ramp as well?

Extending markers visibility

Seafarer — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 12:13:52 GMT

I notified you a few months ago that all markers were too small and became visible only at a short distance—about 0.6 mile- too late. For navigation within a fairway, the markers should be visible from at least 1.2 miles. The visibility of the markers may vary with the size of the vessel (bridge height). Could you please address this in a future update?

We're working on improving the navigation lights💡

Support Team — Thu, 16 Apr 2026 07:14:06 GMT

Following your feedback, we’ve been refining navigation lights to make reduced visibility feel clearer and more realistic.

As you can see in the before and after images the halos will be smaller, and navigation lights will appear and disappear in sync with the environment lights instead of behaving differently.

That also means clustered lights will be easier to separate from further away, while improved visibility angles will help the lights behave more naturally around the vessel, giving you a more realistic experience.

Leocadia Bow Thruster

Mikhail Daki — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 23:55:26 GMT

If you look underwater of Leocadia, you can see there four tunnels in the hull. This means the bow thruster should be azimuth 360 type. But the actual controls are only port to starboard.

External camera

Seafarer — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 07:01:08 GMT

Since some time ago, I have noticed that the view with the external camera remains fixed, even though I can move its position (Starboard, Port, Forward, …). The external view is always taken from the same point. This happens with all ships. Is it a bug or is there a configuration I haven’t performed?

Initial positioning

Seafarer — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 16:09:04 GMT

At the beginning of a custom scenario, we can place our ship on the chart and set a heading; however, by default its speed is always zero knots. Could you enable us to enter a starting speed, either via a dropdown menu or by typing the speed with the numeric keypad? Also, could you display the markers on the initial positioning chart to make it easier for us to indicate the starting point?
