HERMELIN in Rozenburgsesluis

Bow and stern thrusters not correct with external controller.

Edward — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 01:50:14 GMT

I have remapped my controller.

I have tried using different mappings, different axis for bow and stern thrusters.

Axis that work normally for rudder or engine will not function some ships thrusters correctly.

Axis that will not function thrusters correctly will function rudder and engine correctly.

It feels like the coding of the thrusters is not quite correct on some ships, binding both bow and stern thruster axis to the bow thruster on Pomoxis for example. Similarly not quite coded/bound correctly on other ships.

I am using a Honeycomb Bravo Throttle quadrant with 6 axis (long time flight simmer).

Thanks much,

VRInsight - v8.3 not registering POV Hat buttons

Randal Roberts — Sat, 04 Apr 2026 23:09:08 GMT

sorry if this is short, i wrote a long description of this issue, and the forums page auto reloaded/logged me out and i lost all the text.

bottom line, as of v8.3 nautis is not letting us bind POV Hat button presses. I have 2x vrInsight Ship consoles, these are 4x buttons to the left of the throttles, on 8.2 i had these controlling the view up/down/left/right, as of v8.3 nautis they cant be binded to any function. I hope this can be fixed asap.

in image below im pressing one of the buttons. I would post a photo of the button but the forum has a super low max image size set. thank you

MAJOR ERROR ON EVERY SHIP

Fabio — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 17:26:06 GMT

Nautis Home is probably the most advanced nautical simulator in the world. However, there are several important issues that need to be fixed to provide a more realistic experience.

1. Wheel-over point

2. Currently, there is no roll at all during turning phases (roll is caused only by wind and waves)

3. Dynamic prediction (widely used on real ships)

4. Wheelhouse posters and pilot cards (the latter should be improved, possibly with user input)

5. Fenders in ports

6. Ability to choose how many generators are used during maneuvers and to monitor fuel consumption

7. ECDIS replay

8. Turning basin displayed on ECDIS

I know this is a lot, but I trust the Nautis Home team!

A new step for NAUTIS Home: basic towage 🚢

Support Team — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 14:47:46 GMT

Following our earlier update on bringing basic towage to NAUTIS Home, development is moving forward and today we want to highlight one of the exciting features that make the towing experience more realistic for you, towline strength.

The towing lines in the scenarios have a realistic breaking strength. The maximum amount of kilonewtons follows IMO guidelines for the involved vessels, meaning the simulation reflects the same physical limits that apply in real tug operations. If you exceed the limit the line will break so make sure to keep an eye out!

Voith Schneider Propulsion?

Any thoughts for the dev team towards Voith Schneider propulsion tugs?

Doesn't uninstall cleanly

Michael Askin — Sat, 28 Mar 2026 11:18:40 GMT

I did a full install which went well (first time since I originally installed it), but it ran but really slowly on a thin and light I'd bought - I wasn't expecting much. I thought I would uninstall it again, and while it removed the launcher, it left all VSTEP folder in Program Files. You might want to look into that.

Cheers, Mike

Basic Traffic is Coming to the Rotterdam Environment!

Support Team — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 13:51:21 GMT

We’re working on introducing Basic Traffic with the Rotterdam environment, focusing on recognizable and busy areas such as Europoort and around the Erasmus Bridge 🗺️

By building the traffic patterns on real historic AIS data, we want to create a setting that better reflects how vessels move and interact within the environment.

This helps us work towards making sure you can have a more realistic and authentic training experience!

shipconsole & azimuth

Jelle Lamers — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 15:12:01 GMT

Hello,

I'm planning to buy the azimuth single pod. I already have the ship console from vrinsight, but is it possible to use both at the same time?
