Please fix it, it was so good

Thank you for pointing this out. Exhaust is now rerouted back underwater.

Interesting. Originally the exhaust was underwater but one update broke the boat and i had to reroute exhaust above the waterline.

i rerouted the exhaust to under the hull to cut down on smoke works 100times better

Thanks for the comment. Newest update broke it, but the boat fixed now. I had to add pumps in the air intake for the engines. Also tried to do something with the exhaust smoke but i was not able to eliminate it.

i dont know if its a bug or lm doing it wrong but i start the boat and accelerate and the engine tursns off could you help me ?

Truely an Amazing Boat. This was even the first Workshop Build i ever subscribed to!

you know i used this boat bit to much i think 25 missions at least its very good but the only bad thingis its lagy like a lot for me but its cool

I'm glad to hear that someone is still using my boat. Also thank you for the sugesstion, I don't know why i didn't think of that before. I'll try to add this feature soon.

This is easily my favorite ship. I initially fell in love with it a couple years ago, then took a long break from SW. Even after returning and seeing that it felt way slower than I remembered, I couldn't just move onto a more recent ship. After seeing the previous comments, I switched to the most version of the workshop ship and just made my own edits again.
This ship is worth it, and so well made.

(P.S. If you want that extra 10 knots back but don't want to turn your ship into a constant blinding smoke signal, you can set up a bypass with valves taking the exhaust around the catalytic converters and link the valves to a toggle. Close the valves at low speed or idle, open them when you're speeding and let the smoke fly).

Thank you so much!! This is probably one of my favorite creations on the entire workshop and im glad to see that the creator really cares. Super functional.

Well I fixed it, sort of. As i said below the issue was exhaust. Now it is re-routed above waterline. BUT the max speed is now reduced from 57 to 47 knots due to catalytic converters. You can remove them to gain back 10 knots but the exhaust fumes will be visible OR enable infinite fuel. Also thank you for the feedback.

The reason of this is that the exhaust is underwater. At some point devs have changed the exhaust mechanic and now it must be above waterline (or at greater pressure?). The temoprary fix is to turn on infinite fuel.

I believe the boat might be broken, I start going and the boat is fine but after about 5 seconds the engines are limited to only 30 knots? I have the throttle at 100% and the boat wont go any fater and it sounds like the RPMs are super low. Any suggestions??

do you know that geometa took your craft to do the natural disasters update trailer?

Love the boat !

Every button is labeled. So please make sure you have 'Tooltip Detail' enabled in settings in 'General' tab. But to answer your question, these switches turn off the pumps that are responsible of removing any water from the boat.

Where is the screen for that has options like nav, anchor, ram? And what do the switches do left of the camera screen?

Ok! Thanks

There are three refueling points across the deck, you can use either fluid connector or fluid anchor. Once connected make sure that pump at refueling station is pumping fuel out and pumps at the boat are pumping in.

The 1x1 screen above heater shows how much fuel you have in % and if you switch page estimated range and run time. There are three bars present because vessel have three separate fuel tanks to help with the balance and center of mass.

Boat accepts only diesel.

(Sorry for the mistakes if there are any.)

And does it need diesel or jet fuel because on the back under water it looks like jet

But two things. How do I refuel? And where do I see how much fuel I have? Is it the 1x1 screen above the heater screen in the contol room?

Wow. I love this boat! Fast, powerful, has a lot of stuff on board and good controls. Nice job Brecht!

Once again thank you for your suggestion. Vessel is now Stormlink compatible.

Hello Brecht,
I was just testing and reviewing another creation and I thought of you. May I kindly suggest you name your seating on the vessel to be stormlink compatible. i.e. : Seat1, Seat2, etc (capitol S important). I've recently experimented with the Stormlink Lite addon and its a very nice way to make money and adds some great immersion for the game. I believe your ship is capable of carrying quite a few passengers and its super fast. I think it would be worth a quick update.

Sincerely,
baruchnouriel aka Chris

Ok, thank you for swift reply! :D
I'll go to port and see what I need to do to refit.
Fantastic workshop addon this!!

Unfortunately you can't refill welding equipment.

Just wondering if there is a way to refill the welding equipment (land and underwater) on the vessel itself? Or do I need to go to port?
I have now solved many missions using this boat and it is really great at multiple tasks.

Oh nice to know you will be working on a smaller SAR. I am looking forward to subscribing to it and taking it out for a sail.

Ok, thank you very much for your time and effort. I'll check the storage in front again. Much apppreciated!

[EDIT] Found it! --- :)

There is one in equipment storage near front refueling station. Tomorow I'll add another cable in the back.

I see, so I must actively hook up a cable/rope first (to the start point of the winch) and then connect the other end to the object that needs towing/etc. After that I can use the winch mechanism, right? Makes sense, I think I just expected there to be a cable in the winch already!

I looked all over the boat and could not find an electrical cable, but it might be stowed away somewhere :). Hint? Otherwise, I just make sure I bring one with me next time!

Again, awesome vessel! Hope you find inspiration to do more mastepieces of this kind!

Winch is working all the time. But only when it is connected to the rope/electrical cable/fluid anchor you can use buttons to winch in/out.

Thank You for the comments, I'm really glad that you like my creation.

Thank you Brecht for double checking.
Is there any type of state the vessel must be in for the winch to work. I mean, I have engines on (idle), electrical system on and so on. Then just press the "down" / "up" buttons by the winch?
Or do I need to "activate" it first somehow? Atach a "blue" cable or is there a cable built in?

It's a lovely creation and I use it all the time. Just need to figure out the winch system. :)

I've just tried it and it works fine for me. I also had no complaints about the rear winch so maybe it was due to a game bug. I would appreciate it if you would let me know when this happens again then I'll take a closer look at it.

I can't get the rear winsh to work. At some point it came out 37 m and then got stuck and also disappeared. Is there a known problem with the winsh or am I operating it wrongly?

Fantastic boat btw, one of my favs! Good work!

I needed to take a break from stormworks. When I get back I'm planning to make a smaller version of my SAR boat. After that, I can start working on the tanker, I think it will be an interesting project to make. And if I ever need any help or suggestions, I'll reach out to you.

Have you ever considered using your talents to create a fluid tanker? There are just so few fps optimized tankers out there for refueling base fuel stores or simply buying/selling oil/diesel/jp8. You design great engines and have amazing systems for your boat. I can only imagine the quality of tanker you could design. I'd also be interested in seeing a smaller SAR boat. I gladly volunteer to help test any ships for you and help with suggestions and such.

Keep Up The Good Work,
baruch aka Chris

Paintable signs everywhere. Noice

Thanks Brecht thats perfect!

you are an excellent engineer, this is very impressive! theres no anchor or extra features, but for the refinement IDGAF!! 10/10

Thank you baruchnouriel for your feedback, I've added missing features.

Great boat.. 9.5 outa 10 IMHO.. It would be a 10 outa 10 if it had a flybridge with switchable controls to get a better visual when searching and maneuvering around swimmers. Thanks

This is an excellent boat and practical for career mode. Would you please add a mag lock on the back that can hold transport mission crates and boxes to the deck? Also a Fluid Connector would be nice on the bow, so we can use the crane pump at the diesel sell point.... the hoses tend to pull your ship into the dock and can sometimes cause damage. Thanks for the amazing ship and I hope you consider my recommendations to improve the ship further.

update the windows it would make it look even better

now this is a good bout

Very nice :smirk:

Best boat so far, good job, please make more

Yes there is. All you need to do is to change left screen video feed with the button next to it.

Is there any emergency respondrers on the boat to find people with that on?
