Navalus Magnus Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) First of all: Yes, there are more pressing concerns than graphics, because the overall graphics of NA look fine imo! I especially like the detailed ship models and the water is also ok! But i wonder if graphics couldn't be done even more vividly and thus immersive: If i watch videos of sailing ships or boats i notice some details that make sailing so dynamic and enticing for myself: 1. If ships sail in a certain angle to the wind they heel over. 2. Ships rock / pitch when climbing waves and going down again. 3. With increasing speed a vessel also throws up a bow wave of increasing size. 4. Depending on how fast a vessel sails and how high the waves are, bow waves turn into quite impressing splashes of water, when the ship crashes into waves. Imo NA captures 1. in a satisfing way! But 2. and 3. could be done better (more dynamic) and 4. is missing completely! @admin Could you enhance 2. and 3. plus implement the splashing water to make this game's graphics even more immersive!?

Angus MacDuff Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Simulators that are very realistic can make people seasick. I have witnessed this, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wind Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) @adminShips do need to roll more on OS and even more during storms. Water Splash size (on bow) must be increased as well and even leave water drops on screen from time to time. Water splash must also fly through the deck. Dip *when sailing there is always that one big wave that makes you all wet...it happens from time to time Edited June 21, 2018 by Wind 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archaos Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) For a more immersive feeling when sailing along in OW set your view to deck level and have a water spray bottle by your side which you spray onto your face at regular intervals Oh and put a fan on pointing at your face to feel the wind. 😁 Edited June 21, 2018 by Archaos 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 2&4 we need to have variable weather conditions. (and storms back in battles). Right not the conditions are pretty calm so you won't see much of this. We do have #1 it depends on the ship are sailing and of course with higher winds you'll see more heeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the actual "waves" there should be (more) spray comming over the bow of a ship that sails 10kn + imo.
