Rescue cruiser Altea

Version 2.1 2018-10-18

The "Altea" is a large rescue cruiser with many working systems:
- Cruise control
- Autopilot, adjustable
- Bow thruster
- Davit for rescue boat (see "Rescue boat Treo" for compliance)
- Rear boat slip for larger boat (see "Rescue boat Hugo" for compliance)
- Crane and cargo hold with hatches
- Helicopter pad
- Moving gangplanks
- Multiple controllable searchlights
- Several winches and pumps
- Correct lighting, rotating radars, etc...

Most systems are controlled from the bridge. ADSW is used for manouvering unless Cruise Control or Autopilot is activated.
- Raise gangplanks after spawn (by the gangplanks or on the bridge)
- Activate systems with key, then start engines (max speed about 13 m/s - 25 knots - with all 3 engines started).
- Cruise Control sets power with up/down buttons when activated. Set power is displayed on a display.
- Autopilot: set course to current with button, then adjust port or starbord. Displays for set course, current course, deviation and rudder position.
- Lower davit to load the "Rescue boat Treo". It connects to deck connectors when hoisted aboard.
- The rear boat lift can house any boat with a bow connector, for instance the "Rescue boat Hugo"
