S.S. Baltic (1850) [DISCONTINUED]

SS Baltic was a paddle wheel steamer built in 1850 for transatlantic service with the American Collins Line. She set a few speed records and was to remain the fastest steamship on the Atlantic for almost 5 years.

Baltic had 2 side-lever steam engines each generated up to 900 horsepowers, turning her 10m paddle wheels at 15 rpm at full speed.


NOTE:

To spawn this ship, you must load it in addon editor menu.

You must turn on infinite electricks.

Also I recommend you to turn off vehicle damage and set physics detail to low.


Boiler start up procedure:

Turn on air valves, ignite 1-4 fireboxes, open water valves. The more fireboxes you fired and the more pressure you accumulate, the higher speed you will go. Under water valves you can find pressure gauges, red gauge is the pressure you aiming at, the white one is the current pressure. To operate at full speed you must set the water valve to 0.5 and I recommend lowering this valve at idle if you don't want to lose steam or even blow up boilers!

When boilers are set, you can go to stern and steer the ship.


Here is the controls:

W / S - Forwards / Backwards
A / D - Steering
Up / Down - Steam engines throttle
Left/Right - Sail position
1st hotkey - Horn
2st hotkey - Mainsails up/fold
3st hotkey - Topsails up/fold
4st hotkey - Topgallant sails up/fold
5st hotkey - Gaff sails on/fold
6st hotkey - Jib up/fold

You can up/fold individual sails by operating keyboard under the helm

(wasd axis are extremely low sensitive and steam engines needs some time to go from idle to full speed, so, be patient and careful, you are sailing a big and old ship!)


Anyway, I hope you enjoy exploring this ship!

Have a good one, peace \/
