## Description

Ship Maneuvering Simulator offers a realistic experience of handling large vessels. It models propeller astern, drift during turns, pivot point movement, and dynamic rudder and bow thruster effects based on the MMG hydrodynamic model.

Choose from cargo, supply, or battleship in a sandbox environment with sea, river, and port scenes and a customizable current. Wind effects and more ships are planned for future updates.

## Review summary

Ship Maneuvering Simulator is praised for solid, realistic ship handling and an engaging feel with diverse vessels, earning positive player reception. The main recurring downsides are a demand for more content (ships, ports, maps) and more realistic docking mechanics (bow/stern thrusters). Players also report occasional glitches or crashes, plus UI/control issues like deadzones and limited scenery. Overall, the game excels in physics and concept, but players want broader content, smoother performance, and improved docking controls and visuals.

### Pros

- Realistic ship handling and physics.
- Engaging, enjoyable simulation with a variety of vessels.
- Overall positive reception and enjoyment from players.

### Cons

- Need for more ships, ports, and maps.
- Docking realism and thruster controls are limited or ineffective.
- Occasional glitches/crashes.
- Control responsiveness/UI issues such as deadzones around thrusters.
- Lack of scenery/graphics improvements.
