I would trade separate engine controls for being able to type in a heading any day. Clicking that dial only to hear your off by one degree 3 times gets to me.

The separate screw control is important from an RTB with damage standpoint. If you lose the rudder, you are dead, end of carrer. Related is the current damage model where it seems like if you lose one enginr, you lose 2, and only 2 matter. You can have 2 destroyed, and 2 at 100%, never damaged at all---and you are dead in the water.

Something needs fixing. Or was the engine damage fixed in 1.4?

I'm with you Donut on all of the above and would pay.

Also, Truk is looking better but could still be improved ...and, the 'realistic' battery life would be nice too ;-)

Tater,

I lost a prop shaft and made it home on just one screw, (with v1.4) so I don't know if they have reworked the damage models or whether it is a lost engine that completely cripples your boat.

What there looking for is individual control port / starbord shafts in the case of a busted rudder to give the boat control over its course.

Thanks for the clarification Steamwake. That is a frustrating issue in this sim.
