v19 Pirate Ship

Post by Bunford5 »

Ahhhhhrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, i'm enjoying my life as a fisherman on Sabrada, based in fishing resort. I have a v19 and i take her out to the deep ocean to do some fishing on a regular basis. It functions as a boat as it is but it needs to float higher in the water. At the moment it floats below the water line. The water comes up to the base of the mast, covering the rest of the ship. Is this an easy thing for someone to fix?

btw, the v18 cruiser floats ok, don#t know about the v17....

I don't know what model v19 is on Sabrada, but that's a general problem with boats that I *think* mit's done some work to fix in a recent patch. Basically the sea doesn't "know" not to flow through the model. It's not a problem with models like the cruiser, because they're not hollow. They're also a lot bigger and have a bigger draft (technical boaty term, I believe). With the sailboat and other small vessels it'll happen, yeh.

In theory you could reposition the model so it's higher up, and sits "above" the water, but that'd look just as odd for different reasons.
