MarinerSim

Pre-alpha. Only free practice in open water can be played. Options marked Coming soon are planned but not built. Settings marked Visual only change the 3D view but not the ship's motion yet.

6. Starting conditions

Heading

Engine order at start

Low-speed and astern handling use indicative models (no source data); treat them as training-feel, not accurate.

Manual Time Zoom

Open water. Chart: north up, ship to scale. 3D view: drag to look around, wheel to zoom. Waves, fog and light are visual only: the ship's motion is not affected by them yet.
