okies downloaded it last night. Am very much enjoying the added complexity, the flags, and my the bermuda sloop is beautiful =)
few things though, when I get to land, it doesn't let me move, even going to my ship's cabin, I can't look around or move forward or backward or turn. not sure what causes this but reporting it as a bug.
the second is that my lil radar thing is gone, so I can't tell at a glance what my cannons are loaded with or how long till they're finished reloading. nor can I tell at a glance what my fire angle is or what my speed is.
next thing is navigation while in direct sail. there is no compass or anything so ya can't even use dead reconing to figure out where you are or where ya need to go.
my suggestion for future releases, is that you put longitude and latitude lines on the map. and make a sextant, log line and compass item. then when the sun is all the way up you can find out your relative lattitude to check on the map, the compass for obvious reasons, adn a log line to check your own speed. with these tools you can figure out a relative location on the map, and perhaps, like how the spy glass works, if you use these items it'll give you a location on the map with a lil bit of mild innacuracy factor.
also just a question for other players who've played this mod,. any tips on making money? I've never been good at that part of the game I was barely surviving in the original game, so tips would be great. tried to escort a merchant but I can't seem to get paid cause every time I go to land I can't move.
