You can fix the heater by erasing the existing heater, and putting a new heater in the same spot with the heating element exposed. Be sure to reconnect the heater. You're also going to want to add a gas relief valve so that you don't suffocate. You can also improve the speed by increasing the RPS at full throttle on the throttle microcontrollers-I've found that 50 seems to be the highest stable number I can get before it overheats and starts cutting power.

qwop, I know you're not updating anymore, but if you could fix the heater on this boat, I would apreciate very much. I love this boat and I use it a lot. Thanks!

Pain.

no tbh

Do you intend to rework the other Nordahl Lunden boats as well at some point?
qwop  [author] 20 Oct, 2023 @ 1:50am 
looks like they changed how water jets work, waiting for a possible fix before reworking the engine starter. apologies

I'm confused. Why is the vessel stuck at 21 kts?
The Nameless 9 Aug, 2023 @ 2:41am 
THIS one has the stability nailed! Bit much going on though, and it slowm-mo's me going into the cabin. :P
qwop  [author] 9 Aug, 2023 @ 2:18am 
thanks

for real, the best SAR boat ive ever found. Great job!:steamthumbsup:
qwop  [author] 5 Jun, 2023 @ 12:13pm 
no

Does this have the TTS equipment?

@Noot Noot thanks for letting me know but it doesnt capsize for me, please ensure your physics detail is set to high
Noot Noot 22 Mar, 2023 @ 11:11am 
hey @qwop first of all i love your creation. i also noticed however that in career mode your boat capsizes due to low fuel amounts, it really needs the diesel weight to stay up. however i fixed it by making the hull a little less steep at the bottom and connecting both fuel tanks at the lowest point by moving the microcontrollers elsewhere. this also eliminated the need for the pumps to balance out both tanks. if you want i can send you my version so you can take a look at it.

Boat capsizes during spawn in career mode?
qwop  [author] 6 Jan, 2023 @ 2:42am 
@Spooky thanks :steamhappy:
Spooky 4 Jan, 2023 @ 2:15pm 
This is hands down the best SAR boat iv come across. Easy to use, ready for almost any situation , fast. Great work mate! :steamthumbsup:
qwop  [author] 13 Nov, 2022 @ 7:12am 
@Buzz313TH thanks for the feedback, I'll take it into account for my next build
Buzzzz 13 Nov, 2022 @ 6:46am 
Great boat. Could definitely use some deck lights and some rope anchors to tie up to dock with..
qwop  [author] 16 Aug, 2022 @ 3:18am 
@astroyaboi in the fuel tank
astroyaboi 15 Aug, 2022 @ 5:51pm 
where is the main battery? I can't find it.
qwop  [author] 30 Jun, 2022 @ 12:15pm 
@Apollo Mcyote lmfao they really are

thanks fixed now
Apollo McYote 30 Jun, 2022 @ 11:22am 
it seems your aft bilge pump is reversed somehow. i looked at the part and it is indeed pumping water in instead of out lol, lil tip when placing large pumps. the black tip end on a large pump is the input. small pump the black ring is the output
KosmicRavioli 13 Jun, 2022 @ 1:16am 
Very glad to hear it.
Though I am now wondering if that also means some retroactive adjustments on your existing builds. :D

This boat is perhaps the best done example of this size.
All it needs is some waterjet love. :)
(I disable stabs in all boats anyway).
qwop  [author] 13 Jun, 2022 @ 12:47am 
@Aerodil thanks for the feedback. I was already planning to focus more on realism in future builds. A new waterjet controller is in the works! :)
KosmicRavioli 12 Jun, 2022 @ 5:06pm 
I meant DNV2, not SDV2.
KosmicRavioli 12 Jun, 2022 @ 5:05pm 
I really want to love this thing but the fact that it does 22knots at idle power and stays absolutely flat as a ruler against 6m high waves at 66knots just breaks all immersion for me.

May I suggest you take a loot at Lorgs's waterjet controller (SDV2 is a good example of how waterjets should work) and bring active stabilization way down?
qwop  [author] 5 Jun, 2022 @ 10:03am 
about 12k-15k I tnink
Bjrno 5 Jun, 2022 @ 9:51am 
Ah probably not. How much is needed?
qwop  [author] 5 Jun, 2022 @ 9:03am 
@Bjrno do you have enough money to fill both fuel tanks with fuel?
Bjrno 5 Jun, 2022 @ 8:36am 
When I spawn this boat in career mode it instantly falls over on its left side. In creative mode it spawns just fine. Any idea what can cause this?
qwop  [author] 2 Jun, 2022 @ 2:09am 
@Bjrno a new ship
Bjrno 2 Jun, 2022 @ 12:58am 
@qwop, with next vessel you mean a different ship or an update to this one?
qwop  [author] 1 Jun, 2022 @ 2:48pm 
@Dr. hydroflask not without editing microcontrollers
Dr. hydroflask 1 Jun, 2022 @ 2:09pm 
Is there a way to switch from KPH to Knots?
qwop  [author] 1 Jun, 2022 @ 8:41am 
@Bjrno yeah, I'm gonna work on a completely revamped control system for my next vessel. The combo works so you can decrease the jet % and keep the throttle high to allow for sharp turning at lower speeds.
Bjrno 1 Jun, 2022 @ 8:13am 
Wow fantastic work!
I think I found out how most stuff works by now although there is more to discover.

Improvement could be that the steering is extremely sensitive at low speeds.
Also, how are you supposed to use the combo of throttle and yets? I assume you slam the jet 100% forward and use throttle for actual speed control? In that case maybe the jet slider could be two directional buttons and a button for neutral?
qwop  [author] 30 May, 2022 @ 10:25am 
@Delta I've sent you a friend request
Delta 29 May, 2022 @ 8:11pm 
This is relatively unrealistic for water jets, there's no point putting a throttle for the jets really, when we want to change direction we slam it into fwd, neutral or reverse, neutral is a middle point of the boat which keeps it stable, this one you can have 0% power and 100% water jets fwd and still go 40-50kph, If you want to change this you can add me and we'll go from there, work with them irl which gives me good info on how it should be
qwop  [author] 29 May, 2022 @ 2:27pm 
@Sap thank you
Schoenwax 29 May, 2022 @ 2:03pm 
I absolutely adore the design!
MichalekVIP Gaming 29 May, 2022 @ 9:22am 
nvm i was being dumb i found it
MichalekVIP Gaming 29 May, 2022 @ 9:20am 
where is the Battery Master switch?
qwop  [author] 28 May, 2022 @ 12:37pm 
@Bisti noted
Bisti 28 May, 2022 @ 12:23pm 
@qwop Only thing i have on my wishlist is a anchor (auto are cool) and some rope anchors in the front, to connect to other boats ect
qwop  [author] 28 May, 2022 @ 12:04pm 
@Bisti thanks :p
Bisti 28 May, 2022 @ 11:48am 
amazing as always
