Hi Captains, For all who want to test Across the Seas - Unity3d based Ship Simulation, I have decided to release a alpha version. So I can get more feedback about the sim and especially about the performance. I will update this version during the development. Currently I have implemented the Dover Calais area. Most things in Calais are done and Dover is currently under development. Cape Town is in as a preview and also the shipyard scene. For the watercraft's, not all have currently a bridge interior or working instruments. Also features like the anchoring or mooring systems are not final and also in active development. And an important thing is are the physics, I changed a lot things here in the last weeks. So be aware of some strange behavior , I need to adjust the physics for the different watercraft's. Feel free to post shots of the sim or give feedback or suggestions here. Across the Seas - Alpha What is possible or not Test sails in Dover / Calais area Cape Town and a virtual shipyard is implemented as a preview Weather and Time of Day is ready No AI traffic or multiplayer No missions or career mode Minimap system needs a bit more details Mooring and anchoring are not ready Know Issues Watercraft physics need more adjustments Strange physics in some cases of higher sea states Not all watercraft's have interiors at the moment Not all watercraft's have lights Shallow water areas need a bit more work Harbor areas do not have colliders at the moment Mooring physics are not ready New FPS mode is currently in internal testing phase Download link: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AiiALzvCn_FFiZ09fMR6S0FgTHAwGg?e=BkbURZ Regards Marko

You can post your screenshots of the Across the Seas alpha version under the post here.

Hi All, Across the Seas is also shown in the newest Simul's (the creators of trueSKY) Blog Post. You can take a look here:

Hello Captains, Sry for the silence, but we are working hard on the sim. We have reworked the whole scenery loading for the sim, the scenery loads now via a streaming system. That system allows us to create very big sceneries without the annoying floating point error in Unity. We have also integrated the scenery streaming to the Dover / Calais area. Our Dover / Calais has a size of 50km². Now we have splitted the area in 64 quads with a size of 6.25km² and these quads are reloaded according to the position of the player. Another advantage is, we can create more dense scenery of the harbours. In the first picture you can see the terrain in the lower right corner. On the second picture after staying on course 270 new quads on the left side are loaded and the other quads on the right side are deloaded.

The Agile Solution is a multi-purpose cargo ship. Marko
