Ahoy Sailors,
Following the release of Update v0.8.7, we'd like to thank everyone for the fantastic feedback and bug reports. Your reports have been invaluable in helping us identify and resolve issues quickly. This update focuses on stability and polishing several systems based on your feedback.
Fixes & Improvements
Improved the Flammen waterjet nozzle trim behavior, which previously affected vessel speed in reverse.
Previously, correctly trimming the waterjet nozzle up (located at the stern of the boat) raised the bow, but incorrectly reduced the vessel's speed. Conversely, trimming the nozzle down increased the vessel's speed. The trim system has now been corrected to behave as expected. When the nozzle is down and the bow is up, it reduces the drag, and the speed increases to 2-3 knots in nice weather.
