Join our Exclusive Community over on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/CasualNavigation Ship Mooring Simulator is an app that I found in the Play Store. It lets you manoeuvre ships onto different berths in a range of scenarios. In this video, I test out the ships and play the game to determine how accurate it is.

@gergokerekes45504 years ago Damn this level of commitment is pretty rare in phone games, must be a passion project. 543

@gworfish4 years ago I just realised how important patience is to parking ships. I can totally see what a disaster being rushed would be. 233

@axel_x89544 years ago You could do a mini series with this game showing how to moore with the different ships and propulsion systems. 522

@lionheartx-ray41354 years ago I enjoyed that video. It was different but still relevant. Good job. 96

@algordon58434 years ago It was interesting to learn some of the factors that have to be managed in order to moor a ship.
it would also be interesting to watch how you and finally a similar commentary on a video of a video of a real life mooring of a ship would complete the set and my wish list.
btw great video and great series. ...Expand 28

@fecu23944 years ago Huh, i' m programming a game with ships now as it happens. Funnily enough you don' t actually need to programme momentum, instead you deduct friction is there somewhere where ship force equations are written down? It' s hard to say what turn friction should be for example, it will be a complex function of z and x velocity and rotational speed. Also, my game is 3d, is there a y component, any pitch or roll forces? Any idea how you would you go about finding these equations?. ...Expand 89

@Lightdasher3603 years ago I' m glad you made this. I' ve only recently gotten into the world of ships, it' s really nice to get impressions like this from someone that knows and lives the real-world experience. 2

@DJWizmuzk4 years ago Good job bro. I actually watched and enjoyed the whole vid. Keep it up. 32

@astize4 years ago Awesome stuff casual nav. I' m an eto and it' s always nice to see what the deckies do with their spare time (since they have so much of it; 1
@

@JofreRS4 years ago If you think there are improvements to be made on how the ships handle, you should give feedback to the developer.
i' m sure they want to improve the app, and feedback from knowledgeable users is always welcome. 15

@thomashammel76334 years ago Cool to get videos like this one that are mostly entertaining but still draw on the content of previous videos, helps with the learning! I like game reviews thank you and keep up the nice work:. ...Expand 2

@christianzilker284 years ago Realy good video! As an absolutely non mariner i tested it and i like this game!
and a few hours later i tried the narrowboat simulator, truly also a hidden gem!

@petebandicoot24133 years ago Been using a similar game ship sim 3d. Like this one same steering exagerations, all feels a little too maneuverable for ship size but still good fun. Love ya work captain. 1

i can' t quite seem to get differential thrust to pivot the vessel in a functional way as shown in the earlier ship handling . ...Expand 3

@gglasser83752 years ago I love your vids! I didn' t know that i' d find this one interesting, having no understanding of how a ship is controlled. I found it very interesting nonetheless, and enjoyed watching your demo in the second half.
@

@GugsGunny4 years ago For me, this video is pretty much on brand for you. We all can' t be manoeuvreing an ocean tanker and this app allows a land lubber like me stuck at home to experience even a fraction of it. 3

@mrwinterhd52024 years ago Another video about maritime disasters would be really interesting
, i like those videos a lot, keep your work up, its great:

@connorjohnson78344 years ago Question
if a ship fitted with azimuth thrusters needs to reverse, is it better to run the engines in reverse or spin the pod around and run the engines forward?
