@Scott-Przybylski is there a way to add force-feedback for controllers?

The Logitech Gaming Software will indicate if any buttons are activated. If button 18 is constantly activated, press it a few times to try to get it unstuck. If that doesn't fix it, then the button is malfunctioning and you'll have to RMA it. RMA means you send it back to Logitech for repairs.

I was just thinking button 18 might be stuck activated so when you try to assign a control, it immediately detects button 18 since it's already activated. My G27 will do this if the shifter is in gear (usually 3rd) when I try to change a control assignment.

Not sure what's going on there, but here are the Logitech Gaming Software settings I use for my G27. They should work on any Logitech wheel.

@Scott-Przybylski Is there any way to name the server so other people can join?

A lot of people seem to be having problems understanding how to install paint schemes that don’t come with the game originally. This is a step-by-step tutorial on how to do it.

1. Open the folder of the extracted boat paint files.

2. Select the boat folders you want to install inside the F1 Paint Schemes, Fantasy Boats and Real Boats folders. Ctrl-A is a keyboard shortcut to select all. Do this for each of the three folders.

3. Copy those boat folders. Ctrl-C is a keyboard shortcut to copy the select folders.

4. Open another folder where the boat files are located. Mine is at E:\HydroSim\HydroSim_Data\StreamingAssets\Teams

5. Paste those boat folders in the Teams folder. Ctrl-V is a keyboard shortcut to paste the copied folders. Both real and fictional boats go in the one folder together.

Note: the U-21 Go Fast Turn Left is already in the game, but is not the most up-to-date version. The version in the Real Boats folder is the newest version, so replace the files already in game with these.

If you did it right, the boats will show up in game for you to use.

A lot of people seem to be having problems understanding how to download paint schemes that don’t come with the game originally. This is a step-by-step tutorial on how to do it.

1. Go to the Dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/sh/chsxbskns77lroa/AADFq9734pdx77SfFm4wWdGea?dl=0 to download the paints. There will be four folders there.

2. Move your mouse curser over the four folders and a check box will appear. Click on the check boxes you want to download. The top three folders are paints while the bottom folder is the templates.

3. Once you have two or more folders checked, a blue Download button will appear on the right of the folders. Click that Download button and you will get a pop-up window at the bottom of the browser asking you if you want to save the HydroSim Paints Schemes.zip file. Save the file where you want.

4. Open the zip file with your choice of extraction tool and extract the included game files. I use WinRAR which is pay ware, but you can use it free for 30 days and then ignore their prompt to buy it after that to continue using it for free. 7-zip, which is free, will work too.

After doing some research on the subject, I found that this problem seems to be common with Thrustmaster T150 wheels. Have you contacted Thrustmaster about the problem. It's possible you got one that's DOA (dead on arrival). They should replace it if that's the case.

Personally, I haven't had much luck with Thrustmaster in the past and the products always broke, probably due to design flaws.

As far as I know, new hull options should be coming in the future since Scott is working on a new model that should be more accurate. When that happens, all the boat paint schemes will probably need to be redone which will take time.

I think more courses are planned for the future, but they’re not needed at the moment and Scott is the only person working on that aspect of the sim so it will take time.

Increasing the number of races might be an option in the future, but we’re trying to emulate the real schedule and these races do take up a lot of time (3-4 hours per race).

As for the parallel rollers off the log boom in Seattle, I think it’s already there.

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

Here's the link for the templates as well as our boat paints https://www.dropbox.com/home/HydroSim Paints Schemes

I've heard Fanatec has a bit of a "reliability" issue right now, but their customer service is good.
