Bridge Command General Support / Re: Boat.ini configuration

Hello,

Thank you for your reply, it does make sense and is more clear to me right now. Yes, an excel sheet would be really useful, thank you.

Best regards.

Bridge Command General Support / Boat.ini configuration
March 09, 2020, 12:14:14 PM
Hello,

Right now I am studying the BC project and its source code and I am having some issues with understanding the boat.ini configuration. More precisely, DynamicsSpeedA and DynamicsSpeedB, DynamicsTurnDragA, DynamicsTurnDragB, DynamicsLateralDragA, DynamicsLateralDragB, RudderA, RudderB. I understand that they are used in calculations of maxSpeed, drag, acceleration etc. but where do the initial values come from? For instance, in the example at https://www.bridgecommand.co.uk/Doc/newmodels.php#own I can see that the initial values of  DynamicsSpeedA and DynamicsSpeedB, defined in the boat.ini, are 180000 and 12000 respectively. Where do these values come from? If I want to define my own boat model, where should I look for these values, what characteristics of a real vessel do they correspond to?

Thanks in advance, have a nice day
