    Hello Captains, Here are some news of #AcrosstheSeas. Currently I'm working on the prototype of the sim in the upcoming Unreal Engine 5 (actually 5.1 ). Most of the work is at the moment to improve the watercraft physics in UE. One of the next things is to get back the 2d panel and the first person view. At the same time I'm working on the scenery design. For the first new demos of the sim, I will include all 3 sceneries that are also available in the current Unity alpha version. So Dover/Calais, Rostock Baltic Sea scenery and the harbor area of Cape Town will be included. The new 64bit floating precision in UE 5.1 works really good so far. So no more origin shifting for larger sceneries are necessary. This is really a big deal and this is the next step to allow very large sceneries. I did a first test with the an earth scaled planet done and it works really well. One of the most important thing is to find a good solution for wake effects in Unreal. This feature is currently completely missing in the sim. Thank you to all, for your amazing support. I will do my best, to get done a first Unreal demo of the sim. Regards Marko

    Moin, und erst einmal herzlich willkommen hier bei VTA Design. Es sind zwar immer noch einige angemeldet, ist aber schon etwas länger her das im deutschen Unterforum aktiv gepostet wurde. Vielleicht ändert sich das ja, wenn der neue Simulator fertig ist. MfG Marko

    I think it was a Harpoon missile. But you can change it to your needs, you can add your own weapons. Should be also no problem to convert the sub to VSF, as long as you convert the model for your private use only.

    Sry, I don't have the source files anymore. So I can't add the missing files to these old models.

    Hello Captain Anthony96 and welcome, sry this will not be possible with the first release of the sim. Maybe, with an later release. The current maximum size of an scenery is around 100x100km.

    Thank you.

    Hi, Sry, the K130 class Corvette will not be included during the Alpha or Beta phase. For the implementation of submarines, of course, you will see subs in the future of the sim. Basic AI traffic is done. I hope I have it ready for the next release. But I think, real based traffic is a point for the future.

    Hi Captains, after a few weeks full of work on the sim. And a lot of new features for #AcrosstheSeas such as - better clouds and weather, - FFT waves (new Crest feature), - controller axis support, - native DX12 support, - reworked UI and the first preview features like NVidia's DLSS and Raytracing. Regards Marko

    Hi. Yes of course, this project is still under active development. It's still in alpha stage. But the sim has made a lot of changes like native support of DirectX12, Unity's High Definition Render Pipeline. The next version is currently delayed, but I plan to release the next version in June.

    New 2d and 3d volumetric cloud layer.

    Hello and Welcome Captain Anthony, You're right, sry at the moment it is not possible to add your own ships to the sim. This feature will be not included during the free alpha and beta phase. And a new version is also on the way. ;) Regards Marko

    New Alpha update is coming soon for Across the Seas.

  22. MarkoBarthel
    Hello and welcome here, Thank you very much for your kind of words. :) Yes, Unity offers a great potential for better graphics and model handling for the sim. Currently I'm working on a bigger update. Especially for the weather engine and the graphics overall. In the last version I switched to Unity's new High Definition Render Pipeline. This Render Pipeline would also offer new features like Ray-tracing in the future and has a great looking lighting model. Regards Marko
