TRN Islander 1 - Passenger Transport Vessel - Stormlink Ready

Please read the instructions! This boat is performance/FPS friendly and career ready!

TRN Islander 1 - Model Number IS1 - 1st Generation Hull "Trent" - 1st Generation Pure Diesel Drivetrain

This model is the TRN Islander 1, the first release in my line of Islander boats. If you would like to check out my newer TRN Islander 2 XT, follow this link - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2537040511

The Islander is a small/medium passenger transport vessel, designed to ferry passengers back and forth between islands, the mainland, and outlying bases, like oil rigs. It can also be used for tours, thanks to its good visibility. The Islander is designed to carry 36 passengers within its cabin, and has space for 3 crew inside, and 12 additional passengers outside (if weather allows). It is also capable of some rescue missions, with its winches and huge store of equipment, and it can even complete extremely long journeys, like if you need to travel back and forth from the Arctic. It also copes well with large waves and bad weather.

The Islander strikes the perfect balance between fuel efficiency, comfort, versatility and speed.

Top speed is 40km/h, and range is a huge 400-450km (using the Eco Gear).

The Islander is my most detailed creation yet in Stormworks, and it has a long list of features:
- Custom automatic clutch; you only need to use the throttle lever, and the clutch kicks in at 50%
- Custom automatic heaters; heaters will switch on when electricity is on, and if interior temp is below 12°C (can be switched off via a circuit breaker if not needed to save energy)
- Custom refuelling microcontroller; less space is taken up by refuelling circuit as a result
- Custom blinking position lights
- Custom system to alert to water depth; a buzzer will sound on a timer if water depth is less than 4m
- Custom warning lights and buzzers for engine conditions
- Advanced electrical systems, with 2 separate circuits
- Well positioned cabin lighting, with guidance lights on the floor
- Ergonomically positioned dashboards and displays
- 360° searchlights and spotlights
- Eco gear; doubles range to 450km, and allows a top speed of 30km/h
- High torque gear; allows a top speed of 40km/h, and for better towing
- Huge stash of emergency equipment (ropes, flares, arctic clothing, firefighting clothing, flares, oxygen tanks, defibrillator, fire extinguishers, and so on), hidden beneath the floor and in other locations on the boat
- Bilge pumps to help recover from water rushing into cabin or engine room
- Winches that can be used to tow other boats
- Rear facing camera and wide angle display for better visibility from captain's seat
- Autopilot system, with a touchscreen map and input, and also a keyboard input
- Stats display, showing various engine data, speed, range, fuel and more
- 36 interior seats, with sofa seating at the rear
- StormLink compatible
- Emergency roof hatches
- Streamlined and aesthetically pleasing hull design
- Flying flag with fictional design

I have taken the Islander from the Arctic Industry, down to the Sawyer Islands Fishing Village multiple times, a journey of over 110km, and it always completed the trip with no issues whatsoever, and had 70% fuel left. This means that you could do a Sawyer-Arctic round trip on a full tank easily, with a nice reserve of fuel. It also coped incredibly well with 100% wind at the deepest parts of the ocean between Sawyer and the Arctic, thanks to its low centre of gravity, low propellers, and high air intakes.

How to start:
1. Enter the cabin
2. Walk to the left dashboard at the front
3. Switch on "Electrical Systems" and "Engine Systems"
4. Turn the "Starter" key, you will hear a warning chime and see a warning light next to the stats display, then turn off the key and the engines will be on
5. You can also turn on the "Position", "Interior" and "Search and Spotlights" if you need them
6. Move over to the Captain's seat and enter it
7. Press 4 so that you hear the engines rev up
8. The clutch will kick in at 50% throttle, and you will hear the engines begin to slow and the boat begin to move, wait for 2 seconds, and then continue to push the throttle forwards to prevent a stall
9. To stop, simply just pull the throttle back down to 0%

To refuel, walk onto the roof of the main cabin, then carefully move down onto the bow of the boat. You will then see a small orange refuelling panel and a spare hose. Take the hose and connect it to your fuel source, and then back to the Islander, then flick the breaker to begin refuelling. When the fuel level stops rising, refuelling is done.

The batteries will charge during normal use, but if you need to charge them quickly, bring the throttle up to 0.35, and the engine RPS will top out at 12 and power will only be passed through to the generators. When sat at a dock with the engines and electronics off, the solar panels will slowly charge the batteries. You can also use the charging connector on the bow if needed.
