@Andrew-Waring I've had issues where sometimes the wheel doesn't get picked up, but if I power cycle the wheel, and restart the game, then its fine.

@DJ-Miller you answered my question thank you!

Cei currently has 18 boats on the list. That's too many. As for my boats, I've removed the U48 Oberto from the list so I only have the U65 now.

Can I help with modeling and texturing BASE_DASHBOARD ?

I think I'll attempt to redo this boat at some point along with the Competition Specialties and Vantage Ultra from '88.

@Neil-Marvin Welcome to the UHL! Like @DJ-Miller said, Discord is the best way to communicate with us. Much easier to talk all things hydros and others, and usually there are people online that would be around to run some practice laps or some heats as well. That'll also be a good place for any questions you have.
I look forward to racing with you!

The U-11 J&D's is open for the season. Just sign up on the season 2 post under leagues by commenting your name and the boat you want to race.

The alpha channel of the texture controls the glossiness. I believe that black is matte and white is glossy. The existing textures use a grayish, I don't remember the exact value.

I run a gt 540 on my laptop

We have monthly exhibitions going on at the moment as you can go to the leagues page to check it out and sign up if you want. We also have a discord channel where you can chat with us about the game and everything hydroplane related. Our signature season, the Saturday Night Hydro League, takes place in the winter time where the racing gets real competitive!

You can join our discord channel and there will most likely be somebody who can race with you. If you want to jump on the UHL server in game, type in 'Uhlhydroplanes.com' in the server box to join the server that we use to race

@DW-ANDREWS This past season we all had to use boats from the Master Hull Roster, and limited it to 2 boats per number. In future seasons I don't know if fantasy boats will be allowed, that's still being discussed. We've also limited people to 2 fantasy numbers per driver.

Welcome Jared. We just finished our first season of HydroSim, so we have stats from all the courses. Each race and therefore each course have a tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet. They all have qualifying times included. The fastest guys have been in the 154-164mph range depending on the course. Not all of us are that fast though. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hlvN3qbJ1gVwvZPYNm4MwRkKFdmJe7Zn35EhXoJI4eU/edit#gid=0

I remember 🙂

@ThibodauxRacing Its a little complex. First, plug the controller into the computer. Windows will recognize the controller as a gaming controller. From there you can test the buttons and axes (ie triggers and joysticks) and get an idea of how to map them out. For simplicity, I would recommend this sequence while mapping a controller:

Throttle (+): joystick 1 button 0
[A button]
Canard (+): joystick 1 button 5
[left button]
Canard (-): joystick 1 button 4
[right button)
Rudder: joystick 1 axis 0
[left stick]
Canard: joystick 1 axis 2
[right/left triggers]

Joystick 1 is what my computer calls my controller. if you double click the area under the primary column, next to the desired input and press or move an input, it will tell the game to use that controller movement for the specific game function.
