@Scott-Przybylski Can I give you one small request? Could you put the RPM and speed display in a black box? It's hard to read if you're driving a white boat.

@Scott-Przybylski I can't get enough of this water! It's like it's alive. It's going to be crazy bouncing around in the wakes with 6 boats on the course!

Feature request- see the standings and penalty list while driving in a race session

Feature request: A way to rename and delete replay files in-game.

The big thing is that they start as .psd, not dds. We flatten all the layers and then save as dds with your dds plugin. The templates are here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DIOr89tJfDemsREYHmlu6wHNi_Ua7C4M

Happy painting!

The fun thing about Vintage was that we had Nitrous engine boost. You could go fast, but use it too much and Kablooie!

Winter season

Races were 3 or 4 weeks apart, Saturday mornings at 9am Pacific. Some years, there was a Vintage season in between the Modern races.

Real or Custom boats (no custom boats in Vintage)

In the season standings, you could drop your worst race.

@fouga60 The potential commercial audience for a realistic hydroplane sim is very small, so it's not worth the investment for a major studio. They would have to make it very "gamey" with battles and powerups and gimmicks. Look at Hydro Thunder as an example.

@scott-przybylski Oh, it does work now! I didn't know to click in the white field. UI design!

@scott-przybylski
I'm clicking everywhere in the app and I can't even get it to do anything. Pedals and wheel don't register.

Oh, I see there was already another U-25 Pay N Pak registered.

@Beau-Rarig My understanding was that you could keep a number if it's a real boat, and that only fantasy boats couldn't share a number. I'd rather see that than a Pay 'N Pak with a wrong number on it.

Wow, 45 boats so far!

Hi Ben,

Sorry it's taken so long to reply. Painting boats involves using a graphics editor like Photoshop or Gimp, then saving the files as a .dds

Templates can be found here: http://uhlhydroplanes.com/topic/217/hydrosim-paint-scheme-google-drive

If you look where your game is installed at HydroSim_Data\StreamingAssets\Teams you can see the file structure and names.

We're all on Discord, that's a better place to get faster communication!
