Explore the 7 seas. That’s the big goal when you choose the 52Steel Superyacht for Microsoft Flight Simulator. You’ll have at your disposal a large, highly detailed yacht with 4 decks, 2 elevators, 8 en suite bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, animated pool, library, cinema and conference area, barbecue, sun deck and private crew room with kitchen and laundry. It’s massive, elegant and imposing, with 15 animated flags at your disposal and 13 liveries to choose from.

The Superyacht was inspired by the Sanlorenzo 52Steel class of luxury yachts and has technical specifications compatible with it, with a few exceptions for better compatibility with the game. The ship has a command bridge with interactive panels such as GPS, a panel for controlling functions such as autopilot, lights and a panel for selecting the animated flag on the mast. The ship has a pier for docking (controlled by flaps) and its autopilot can be switched between HDG and GPS NAV modes. The ship can be turned on and off using the ignition key on the panel. The ship also has blue underwater LED lights for nighttime decoration, and thanks to the elevators, it is possible to walk around the entire ship and access all decks with the avatar. The elevators are automatic, without the need for interaction and travel one floor at a time. The ship has reflective lights on the main mast and navigation reflectors in a narrow waterway for challenging navigation.

HOW TO PLAY:

Start the game anywhere in the world on the water or seaplane track, click the ignition key to start the ship engine, PRESS THE UP/DOWN KEY ON THE JOYSTICK TO REMOVE THE ANCHOR, put the engine at 100% and wait a few seconds for the boat to start moving. Water trails start with the slowest speed you are on. The boat does not have a reverse motor. Use the elevator UP command to move your boat backwards. Use the aileron controls to turn left and right. The rudder controls simulate axial movement control and do not activate the steering wheel animation, only the aileron control activates the steering wheel animation, as it is the main control method.

There is a tablet on the center panel with functions such as Floodlight, to turn on or off the underwater LED lights, Flag, which turns on or off the nighttime illumination of the flag, NAV Lights, to turn on or off the navigation lights and spotlights, AP Disengage, to turn off the AP after it has been activated, AP Heading and AP GPS NAV to activate those corresponding driving modes. The panel on the left side shows the number of flags available for use on the ship. The flags mostly correspond to the default distribution language of Microsoft Flight Simulator.

IMPORTANT: JUST AS YOU WOULD NOT DO IN REAL LIFE, DO NOT GO OUT IN THE SEA WITH WAVES HIGHER THAN 30 KNOTS (55 KM/H) AT THE RISK OF CAPSIZING THE BOAT AS IT WOULD HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE. DURING THE SIMULATION, THE SINKING OF THE BOAT IS NOT DRAMATIC AND UNEXPECTED EFFECTS MAY OCCUR CAUSED BY THE SIMULATION ENVIRONMENT ITSELF AND NOT BY A PRODUCT DEFECT.

MSFS 2020/2024 does not have a realistic drift in the water, so navigation is still imprecise in several aspects. Do not expect extreme realism - the focus of this add-on is to provide a visual and enjoyable experience for those looking for alternatives to flying. Each instrument on the boat, livery and modeling was made with great care, affection and attention to detail to meet the highest commercial standards that MSFS and other markets demand, but for several other reasons that go beyond the developer, sailing with boats in MSFS is a challenge that is not always pleasant. Always keep in mind that everything was done to ensure that you have the best possible experience despite the limitations.
